We are FULANI AFRICANS in the US. We have a great story to tell! My family's foundation is trying to make a short film, documentary, about our ancestor, who was a civil war hero. He was only 10 years old when he was put on a horse and sent to fight in a war, where he was a lone survivor! And the story

Such a well made and informative video on a subject that is rarely covered. And it literally only has a couple hundred views. Unbelievable. I hope you receive recognition one day, because you're too good not to get it for work like this.

[@kennethklein6213]

It is impossible to cover 1000 years of history in 15 minutes but well worth an effort I wish you had cited athe contemporary written sourses, many do not know they exist. Also to expand upon the level of develoment acheived. West African kingdoms is so much more than a history of warfare. Thank you and I pray to see your future works will reach a larger audience

[@admirekashiri9879]

Wow why am I just discovering your channel now? This was so insightful. I'm guessing some of the information here comes from the Chronicles written during this period right? And also I had no clue the Toucouleur were Fulani, all this time I've been listing them and histories associated with them as a separate ethnic group.

[@sokhna-sl4fp]

Toucouleur Word come from the name Tekrour an ancient berbero-black empire where fulani, Soninkos, and berbers people lived togheter. Toucouleur means habitant of Tekrour, it is a nationality. I am of Tekrour, m'y ethnicity is pullo (sing), Fulbe is the plural. Our language is called Pulaar or fulfulde. Halpulaar means those who speaks pulaar: hal(language in pulaar). Hope this will Help you❤

[@admirekashiri9879]

@@sokhna-sl4fp Ah thank you I've heard of the Tekrour in fact that name became associated with West African figures that went to North Africa and the Middle East. The nisba of "al-Takruri" was used for many like al-Shaikh Abu Muhammad Yusuf Abdallah al-Takruri who lived in the 10th century in Egypt very fascinating. Right I see now Tekour i knew was a state close to the time of the Wagadu empire a very ancient kimgdom, i just had no clue who the meaning of the words and how theyre tied to the Fulbe. So the words Pullo (singluar) and Fulbe (plural ) are the proper way of referring to a person and the ethnic groups known as Fulani is that right?

[@sokhna-sl4fp]

@@admirekashiri9879 Thanks u, as well for ur kind insight. See some of our plural is like: Debbo sing woman is Rewbe woman Plur. The be/ba as indicator of Plur is common to many africans, The Batutsi is the Tutsi name for their Nation.

[@jaraidalen]

Thank you for a great job Mr Leye! I just want to add that Koli Kengeula and the Fulbe of that period were not animist, contrary to western historians' claims. Sedentary Fulbe were of two classes: the Warriors to which general Koli belonged, and the Clerics who were in all Fulbe clans, not just the Toorobhe. Even the nomadic Fulas like the Wodaabhe has their clerics and were never animists.
