An article describing the district of Dar Furnung which to the East is inhabited by the Tanjir (or Tenqur) people. They are a Sunni ethnic group found in Eastern Chad and Western Sudan. The ethnic roots of the Tangjur people are unknown. According to their oral traditions and some scholars, they are Arabs who migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to central Sudan either through North Africa and Tunisia or via Nubia. In fact, as Gustav Nachtigal noted, they resemble the features and behavior of Arabs. Other scholars suggest that they have non-Muslim Nile roots, and are from the Nile River region
