Tibati
Tibati (Fula: Tibati 𞤼𞤭𞤦𞤢𞤼𞤭) is a town and commune in the Adamawa Region, Cameroon. The town and region are ruled by a local monarch, the Lamido. History The Vute and Mboum people are the native inhabitants of the Tibati area. The town of Tibati was founded in the 1820s by Hamman Sambo, a flag-bearer of Modibo Adama, in turn a vassal of Muhammad Bello, leader of the Sokoto Caliphate. His group of Fulani immigrants intermarried with local communities, built institutions integrating local traditions with Fulbe ones, and waged jihad against those who refused to convert to Islam. At the southernmost point of the Adamawa Emirate, Tibati was a center of slave raiding and perhaps the most powerful Lamidate in the region. Sambo attempted for years to set up Tibati as a direct vassal of Sokoto rather than reporting to Adama. In 1841, after Abu Bakr Atiku succeeded to the sultanate, he finally succeeded. The next year, however, Atiku died and his successor Ali Babba b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
