Idris Debby is not Kanuri o.... he is Zaghawa.
And even in Chad and Niger, their languages is still endangered by Hausa and Chadian Arabic.

I thought he was Zaghawa. Does this mean that Zaghawa is a sub-group of Kanuri? Someone explain the ethnic composition of that whole area to me, because it is a bit confusing. Like, what is the relationship of Kanuri, Kanembu, Zaghawa to each other - are they all the same people?

Yep Zaghawa is a sub-group of Kanuri. Kanuri, Tebu/Toubou/Tubu, Kanembu and Zaghawa are all one in the same group. They are all just sub-groups of the much larger Kanuri, but their languages are almost all the same. It's like Songhai, Zarma/Djerma, Dendi. They are all Songhai people that were once part of the large Songhai Empire. Same goes for the Kanuri, Tebu/Toubou/Tubu, Kanembu, Zaghawa. They are all Kanuri with the same roots and 90 - 95% similar language.

You are good Wulfruna, you know your stuff.
