19:57 Kanem-Bornu Empire Today
One thing I learned is that the Kanem Bornu Empire is that they were one of you African kingdoms at that time to have their hands on firearms probably the earliest. Thanks to the Ottoman Empire and then you add The Mercenaries they were a problem and that's why the Songhai Empire couldn't explain any more West instead they became allies. I have also heard that the Songhai Empire also had connections to the Ottoman Empire but refuse to use Firearms or modernize their military which kind of led to their downfall besides internal fighting in the slave rating.
Thank you for this indepth study of the Kanem Borno Empire
Hello from the land of Ashur and Nineveh, My brothers and sisters in blood, There was a paper published in 2021 that agued based on historical evidence that the founders of Kanem-Bornu Empire are descended from Ashur-Uballit II the last Assyrian monarch who fled Harran along with his soldiers and powerful countrymen. They fled Mesopotamia in 609 BC and reached Kanem around 605 BC. Assyrians were mostly killed or enslaved after the fall of Nineveh. However, few of us fled into Hakkari mountains in today's Turkey and lived there until 1915 during which Ottomans committed a genocide against our people and we lost two thirds of our populations. However, only recently we were informed that the royal families and military personnel led by our last king fled into West Africa saving the rest of the nation and forming the Kanem Kingdom. It's 2600 years that we lost contact of you guys. Even though we were converted to Christianity in 4th century and you guys to Islam in 14th century both of which were conspiratorial but we have the same blood and history. Imagine if we unite once more and bring back the glory of Assyrian Empire. ---Love
Thank you. Love Africa.
Great
A powerful and one of the greatest and longest empires in Africa.
religion made them sell their brothers into slavery ... and their so-called greatness was built on the blood of others..
What about the great Benin empire in Nigeria
