Toubou people
The Tubu or Toubou (Old Tebu: "Rock People;" also written Tibu, Tibbu, Tebu, Tubu, Tebou, Umbararo) are Nilotic people that live mainly in northern Chad, but also in southern Libya, northeastern Niger and northwestern Sudan. They speak Tebu, in the Saharan subfamily of the Nilo-Saharan languages language family.
The majority of Toubou live in the north of Chad around the Tibesti mountains (Old Tebu: "Rocky Mountains," whence the Toubou's own name.) Numbering roughly 350,000, they are mostly Muslim. Most Toubou are herders and nomads, though many are now semi-nomadic. Their society is clan-based, with each clan having certain oases, pastures and wells. They are divided in two closely associated people, the Teda and the Daza.
Many of Chad's leaders have been Toubou, including presidents Goukouni Oueddei and Hissène Habré.
Society
Toubou life centers on their livestock (their major source of wealth and sustenance) and on the scattered oases where they or their herders cultivate dates and grain. In a few places, the Toubou (or more often members of the Haddad group who work for them) also mine salt and natron, a salt like substance used for medicinal purposes and for livestock.

Lead The Parade
by: KornLost and alone
I'm out of the stone
Could be this process everyday
Nothings my own
The dreams that I've grown
I won't control and throw away
I need to make the decisions
I need to make it right
I need to lead the parade
Or this shit will fucking take my life
I want to kill the decisions
I want to make it right
I want to pass this test
And complete my tormented life
This curse is my own
It follows me home
Its like a child that wants to play
The thoughts in my brain
The subconscious pain
Makes me think why do I stay
I need to make the decision
I need make it right
I need to lead the parade
Or this shit will take my life
I want to kill the decisions
I want to make it right
I want to pass this test
And complete my tormented life
I want to kill the decisions
I want it to be right
I want to pass my test
And complete this tormented life
Happy, everything was wonderful
So happy, it's beautiful
I need to make the decision
I need to make it right
I want to kill the decisions
I want to make it right
I want to pass this test
And complete my tormented life
I want to kill the decisions
I want to make it right
I want to pass this test
And complete my tormented life
I'm happy, I knew you'd make it right
