- Kaabunké (Ngaabu1 or Kabou or Gabou by the Sérères1, Ngabou by the Peuls, Gabou for the French) is a former Mandingo kingdom which covers part of Senegal, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau today. It is a non-Muslim theocratic kingdom, which will be one of the causes of the wars which will accelerate its fall in the nineteenth century.
Before the arrival of the Malinke conquerors, the region was already inhabited by various nations: the Baïnouk kingdom which will be largely colonized; a few nomadic Peul pastoralists; a few groups of Malinke and Soninke traders. This territory is bordered to the west by the kingdoms Felupe / Diola, Brâmes / Pepels and the Balante confederation in the mangroves, to the south by the kingdom Beafada de Kinara, whose aristocracy is of Mandingo origin and the people of Landuma origin. . The Bainouk Kingdom was the most important and probably the oldest. It was made up of powerful lordships, grouped into a kingdom, the capital of which was Mampating.
In 1250, part of the Bainouk kingdom, after the defeat of its king Kikikor, was colonized by the Mali Empire, other parts (the most western) became vassals.
In the 17th century, the colonized territory gained its independence from Mali and became Kaabunké. This kingdom extended over areas bordering the Gambia River - today part of Casamance, the north of present-day Guinea-Bissau (except the coast) and encroached on the west of present-day Guinea - Conakry.
Conquest, colonization and creation of the kingdom.
The kingdom of Gabou, according to oral tradition, was founded by General Malinké Thiramaghan Traoré, one of the generals of Soundiata Keita's army. In 1235, the latter, a Manding warrior, conquered the kingdom of Sosso of which the Manding was a vassal, overthrows the nobles formed by the leagues of craftsmen led by that of blacksmiths and founded the empire of Mali, of which he became the Mansa Manding (emperor ); he created a new nobility, made up of cavalry warriors. General Thiramaghan Traoré is a cousin, but also a rival of Soundiata Keita, whom he very strongly helped in his putsch. He was entrusted with military reprisals against a Wolof king (Djolofin-Mansa), under the pretext of a dispute with traders sent by the Mansa Manding to buy horses.
Having brilliantly defeated this king, whom he had executed, General Thiramaghan Traoré annexed his territory, brought back slaves, horses and gifts to Soudiata Keita. As a reward, this one gives him (reward / exile) the lands which he will be able to conquer in the west and which will allow a greater opening of the Empire towards the sea and the precious salt.
In fact, from 1235 to 12652, General Thiramaghan Traoré, at the head of an army of horsemen, followed by a column of several tens of thousands of migrant peasants and artisans (surrounded by two army corps to protect it) in constant increase, arrives from the East, crosses several times the Gambia river to install colonies on a territory in the south of the Wolof kingdoms. He divides this territory into 6 Mansayas, (provinces of the Mali Empire ruled in hierarchical order by Farims / Farangs and Mansas): 3 "majors" (entrusted to valiant warriors: Sâma, Patiana, Djimméra) and three "minor" (entrusted to the former defeated nobility: Manna, Toumanna, Kantora) which will extend and change through conquests and rivalries for 5 centuries (there were up to twenty mansayas at certain times).
For about two centuries, a drought has raged in West Africa. It will last until the sixteenth century. The Mandingo peasants who follow Thiramaghan Traoré, and those who will join them later, find in this territory conditions of fauna and flora which remind them of their native Manding. Which probably explains why General T. Traoré was hardly interested in the conquest of the Wolof kingdoms, further north.
This territory becomes in the seventeenth century an independent kingdom, under the name of Kaabunké (kingdom of Gabou), taking advantage of the decline of this empire and the loss of territories which allowed the junction between continental Mandingos and Kaabu.
Life in Kaabu
The Kaabunké is very hierarchical. As usual, there are foros (free men), castés (leagues of craftsmen) and captives. But the originality of Kaabunké is the existence of a powerful warrior nobility linked to religion in the category of free men3.
Political and military power.
The Kaabunké is divided into several Mansayas, each headed by a Mansa. Before independence, the Farims were governors with power over several mansas. When the mansa of Proponanké (sometimes called Kaabunké), decrees the whole of the independent territory, it also declares itself Mansa-Ba of Kaabunké. The other mansas owe him obedience. However, it is the Mansa of Sankolé (Sankolanké), former Farim, who is in charge of collecting im

Merci beaucoup , inithié
Moi c'est cette versión qui me plait mieux parceque elle est raconté pars un fils resident dans le coeur du kaabu
Kaabu was a Province of Mali empire since the 12century during sundiata kieta rule until the collapse of Mali, kabu consolidated it's power which resulted to lots of mandinka migration to the region of Guinea bissau,senegal and the Gambia from the Guinea Conary region of kankang in search of better cultivated land,expansion of empire and war in the heartland Mali empire. Saying that the mandikas come from Arabia is not accurate though because black people existed long before kaba in Saudi Arabia was built and according to scientists the human race originated from Africa and then migrated to different part of the world. I understand jali want to associate us to arabs because of Islam but they should delete that part from mandika history. Otherwise everything is accurate. Peace from Gambia 🇬🇲
You are right , i don'tagree with everything he says too . And i am glad you said that it's because of the infleucne of islam that the Jali's try to associate our history to Saoudi Arabia. YOU are right on that too. There are many version of the mande history . The original ones don't trace the linneage to arabia or out side of africa.
You have spoken directly from my heart, and hopefully our history will be brought back to reality without associating our roots to Arabia.
And I do believe that the Kaabu will have an authentic view history.
Very right brother we need to be careful when we are doing such things because it is not for just us our children and their children so they should know the truth
I have compared Mandinka language and classical Arabic. That is the Arabic of the Quran, my conclusion is that they are almost the same. What consolidated my conclusion is that Mandinka even today, uses Arabic root words. This is not possible if they did not come from each other.
It'd recorded that there are some lost Arabs who migrated from Arabia and not much os known about them. Arab historian know this.
Furthermore, ancient Arabs even to the time of Islam looks exactly Mandinkas and other West Africans. They were black people like the ancient Hebrews and Egyptians.
It should be noted in this narrative over 5000 years of history is compressed into a short narrative. From the time of early migrations of people from the far East into the heartland of West Africa and how these populations developed overtime. They just pick selected stories to punctuate the narrative as everything cannot be remembered.
However, the Meccan origin of Mandinkas cannot be dismissed. He even mentioned , that they moved out when the Kaaba was being built. This was most likely around the time of Abraham, which is about 5-7 thousand years ago. He also mentioned different waves of migration of groups upon other groups. Meaning they came at different times. Once can even say some may have even come well before that time.
Thanks you so much brother
