Manjafa is a small town in the Kanem department of eastern Chad, located in the semi-arid zone on the southern edge of the Sahara desert, about 600 kilometers from the capital N'Djamena. As an important regional center in the area, Manjafa is economically based on agriculture, with the inhabitants cultivating mainly cotton, peanuts and millet, and with a certain amount of animal husbandry (cattle, sheep and camels). The town is small but has a basic market, medical station and school, and serves as a hub for the distribution of goods and public services for the neighboring villages. The local culture is deeply influenced by Salar and Toubou traditions, and the inhabitants, mostly practicing Islam, retain distinctive tribal festivals and handicrafts. Despite its relatively poor infrastructure, Manjafa plays an important role in the development of eastern Chad, thanks to its geographical location and its agricultural and pastoral resources.
