Doud Murra

r. 1898–1901, 1903–1909 · 20th century · Also known as Sultan Doud Murra

Doud Murra was the last independent sultan of Wadai (r. 1898–1901, 1903–1909). He resisted the French advance into the central Sahel through military resistance and diplomacy, but French forces took the capital Abéché in 1909, effectively ending the Wadai Empire's independence.
