Very nice summary on the Fulani Jihad, I would like to make my modest contribution to this historical summary: In 1810, the beleaguered Sayfawa dynasty was forced to evacuate the capital at Birni Ngazargamu on the Komodugu Yo River, the western tributary of Lake Chad. Not only was the capital destroyed, but the densely populated region around the capital had to be evacuated, with *many of its inhabitants reduced to slavery, removed to the centers of the Sokoto Caliphate and even sold south into Yoruba country and the Atlantic slave trade* source-->page 226 of the pdf file MOHAMMED ALI NICHOLAS SA’ID: FROM ENSLAVEMENT TO AMERICAN CIVIL WAR VETERAN Paul E.

Very good. And may that Jihad be restricted to the North forever. Don't think of making inroads to the South West ever again.
