Ibrahim Sori (or Ibrahima Sori Barry Mawdo) (died c. 1784) was a leader of the Imamate of Futa Jallon in what is now Guinea in West Africa from around 1751 to 1784. ==Background== In the second half of the 18th century a militant Islamic movement began in the Sudan region to the south of the Sahara, stretching from the Senegal to the Nile. The leaders waged ''jihad'', or holy war, against pagans and less strict Muslims, establishing a string of strictly Muslim states across the region. The first ''jihad'' was launched in Fouta Djallon in 1726 by Ibrahim Musa. He was a leading Muslim cleric who had studied in Kankan. Ibrahim Musa, also known as Ibrahima Sambeghu, Karamokho Alfa or Alfa Ibrahim, enlisted the support of gangs of young men, slaves and outlaws in his fight against the ruling powers. He became recognized as the "Commander of the Faithful" at a time when the Fulani were gaining supremacy over the Jalonke people in a Jihad, although he had to contend with competing families and with squabbling clerics and military leaders. The Jalonke people adopted the Muslim religion and achieved some social status, but remained subordinate to the Fula leaders. The jihad process was protracted, because the Fula were not simply taking over an existing state, but were building a new state. Alfa Ibrahim died in 1751. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ibrahim Sori」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
