Discover the epic of the Fulani of Fouta Djallon in the Republic of Guinea. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, this pastoral and nomadic people, deeply Islamized and originally from the Nile Valley, created a powerful and influential theocratic state. After conquering Fouta Djallon, then animist, they saw their unity broken by the French colonizer, ending their domination with the fall of Bocar Biro, the greatest of the Almamy. The annexation of Fouta Djallon by the French colonial system marked the end of this remarkable state. #africa #colonization #africanculture #foutadjallon #guinea #history #africanhistory #fulani
