Research and responses

The location of Nyeire & Dar Tama is unknown but may refer to the Tama people of Chad. [CF 22/2/2000]

According to Wikipedia, Dar Tama is a department in the Wadi Fira region of Chad, in the East of the country bordering onto Sudan. I have not been able to identify Nyeire. [El.B DDF Body Arts Project 2010/2011 25/08/2010]
