Comments on: Why Usman dan Fodio’s 1804 Sokoto Jihad failed in Kanem-Bornu https://www.thehistoryville.com/1804-sokoto-jihad-kanem-bornu/ Connecting the Past! Sun, 15 Sep 2024 12:06:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Ibrahim Sara Bangalu https://www.thehistoryville.com/1804-sokoto-jihad-kanem-bornu/#comment-149 Tue, 03 May 2022 20:44:15 +0000 https://www.thehistoryville.com/?p=5775#comment-149 I am impressed by your narration on why the Jihad could not make any headway to Kanem Borno Empire in the 19th century when the combination of Commanders Abdullahi and Bello tried. Oral history has it that the tribes in western Borno formed a formidable obstacle to the forage into Borno because of their independent states and strong armies that the warlords from Sokoto could not overcome. These tribes were Bade, Ngizim , Karai-Karai. Can I have your comment on this thesis?
