Type locality.
‘Niam-Niam; communic. Dom. L.
DUDA’
. The name Niam- Niam (or Nyam-Nyam) was frequently used by foreigners to refer to the Azande in the 18th and early 19th century.The Azande (plural of ‘Zande’ in the Zande language) are an ethnic group of North Central Africa.They live primarily in the northeastern part of
the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(Orientale Province, specifically along the Uele River; Isiro, Dungu, Kisangani and Dorima), in south-central and southwestern part of
South Sudan
(Central and
Western Equatoria

(the districts of Rafaï, Bangasu and Obo) (
