Gula, also spelled Goula, is an ethnic group who lives in Central African Republic, Chad, and Sudan.

[1] In the Central African Republic, they live in the northern regions of Vakaga, Bamingui-Bangoran, and Haute-Kotto.

[3] Lake Mamoun was chosen because there was plenty of fish, and the area was uninhabited before they arrived.

[4] In the 19th century, Gula people were often attacked by slave raiders from Darfur, Dar al Kuti, and Kara.

[5] In 1926–1927, France ordered Gula to live in settlements along the Ouanda Djalle-Birao Road for defensive purposes.
