[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] Egypt continued to be under a great deal of "Sudanese" influence even after Islam. And even as this Sudanese supremacy waned it was the British that finally tore these relations apart. [b]Egypt has always been an important part of Africa[/b] [QUOTE] M.A. Shaban page 109 http://books.google.com/books?id=Wkqlp-lHllcC&pg=PA109#v=onepage&q=&f=false "The sudden and conspicuous appearance of the Sudan amongst the armies of Ibn Tulun in Egypt calls for an explanation. [b]Some sources like us to believe that he bought as many as 40,000 Negro slaves and made soldieries out of them to build up an empire of his own.[/b] Buying such a number of slaves, let alone training them to be an effective fighting force in a completely unfamiliar territory, would certainly have required more time than the few years that preceded their appearance in Egypt and subsequently in Syria and on the Byzantine borders in the early years of Ibn Tuluns rule 868/884. [b]Other sources more accurately inform us that he enlisted these Sudan in his army"[/b] (Cont) page 110 http://books.google.com/books?id=Wkqlp-lHllcC&pg=PA110#v=onepage&q=&f=false "We are here concerned with the Zaghawa, the name of a tribe and its territory which bordered the south of the Sahara and extended west from what is now the western Sudan across Chad, Niger and Northern Nigeria to Upper Vota. Through these regions passed an important trade route that started from Ghana and continued all the way to the Egyptian Oasis and then either to the Nile Valley or to Tripolitania.. [b]The good relations with the king of Nubia, who had had his Nubia House in Fustat since the days of Mutasim, provided the solution" [/b] (cont) page 111 http://books.google.com/books?id=Wkqlp-lHllcC&pg=PA111#v=onepage&q=&f=false [b]"For the Zaghawa the Nubian route was a much safer one that would save them from the hazards of the desert.[/b] Once this was established, their increasing presence in Egypt was almost a logical consequence and a clear indication of their interest is widening the scope of their trade. Ibn Tulun would have no objection to such an expansion which could only enhance the wealth of his domains. This common interest created the opportunity for military as well as economic co-operation which explains the enlistment of the Sudan in the army of Egypt" [/QUOTE]Perry Noble pages 48 and 49 http://books.google.com/books?id=vdxBAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA48#v=onepage&q=&f=false Perry Noble [QUOTE] About 1100 Yusuf of Marocco influenced the Negroes, [b]but Timbuktu (refounded 1213) is said to have received Islam from Egypt.[/b] It entered Gao, down the Niger, in 1009; Melli about 1025; and Silla fifteen years later. [b]Between 1085 and 1100 Hume, the first king of Bornu, extended Islam almost to Egypt.[/b][/QUOTE]Perry Noble http://books.google.com/books?id=vdxBAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA164#v=onepage&q=&f=false [QUOTE] In the Chad group the Hausa has spread farthest and acquired most usefulness. The vernacular of a numerous people, it offers a valuable medium of communication through vast districts on both sides of the Binwe and the Niger. In extent of use it surpasses all other languages in inner Africa, [b]serving not only as the mother=tongue of millions but as a world=speech between tribes of different languages and between Mediterranean and Sudanese Africa.[/b] Hausa is remarkable for simplicity, elegance and wealth of vocabulary. It stands among the world's imperial languages, magnificent, rich and sonorous, beautiful and facile in grammatical structure, enjoying a harmony in the forms of its words and a symphonic symmetry that few tongues can equal, and assured of prolonged existence and vast expansion. [b]It is the Latin of Central Sudan.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
