Kotoba>>>
Canon Tebu tribes are governed by a written legislative code, known as Kotoba, or Kotoma, and also called (Tokai or Tokai Teda). Intellectuals among the Tedas call it “Tebu constitution”. It was put together by Sultan Shahaï (Boger) based on the provisions of Islamic Sharia law, to organize most of the transactions necessary for the pastoral Tebu community, especially in matters that require issuance of specific judicial / arbitration rulings, as in cases of dispute settlement, or reprisal of a killer and inflicting physical 45 penalties against persons guilty of an offense. Kotoba code was written in French, and the original version is still preserved until this time under the protection of Teda dignitaries.
