Origins The Torodbe originated in Futa Toro, a strip of agricultural land along the Senegal River and at the time the state of Takrur, from as early as the 9th to as late as 13th century, later spreading throughout the Fulbe territories. They may well have been a distinct group by the fifteenth century, when the Denianke Dynasty, Denianke conquered Takrur, creating the Empire of Great Fulo. In 1644 the Zawaya Berbers, Berber reformer Nasr ad-Din (Lamtuna), Nasr ad-Din l ...
