Mangé Demba

Mangé Demba also Mungo Demba, (17??-1822) was a Baga King (Mangé) who held sway over a region in West Africa which stretched along ninety miles of the Guinea coast and extending up to two hundred miles inland.[1]:1

Demba's mother was probably Maboye, daughter of the King of Tomboli, and his father probably Sumba Tumani.[1]:1
