Kabye or Kabiye is the name for a language and the peoples who speak it in the northern plains of Togo, West Africa. The Kabye are primarily known for farming and cultivation of the stony Kara Valley area of Togo. They are one of the two major ethnic groups within the country of Togo (the other being the Ewe). The region inhabited by the Kabye has experienced significant infrastructure improvements due to the country's former president, Gnassingbé Eyadema, who was of Kabye ethnicity. Togo is now led by Eyadema's son, Faure Gnassingbé.
