Kouroussa

Kouroussa or Kurussa is a town located in northwestern Guinea, and is the capital of Kouroussa Prefecture. As of 2014 it had a population of 39,611 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guinea )〕 A trade center and river port from at least the time of the Mali Empire, Kouroussa has long relied upon its position near the upstream limit of navigation of the Niger River to make it an important crossroads for people and goods moving between the Guinea coast and the states of the western Soudan and Niger River valley. The town and surrounding area is a center of Malinke culture, and is known for its Djembe drumming tradition.
==History==
Kouroussa represented the southern end of the ''Manden'': the Mandé heartland of the Mali Empire. Kouroussa's position as a river port has made it a historic center for regional trade, much like its larger neighbor Kankan. Much of the Jallonke population of the area migrated from the west when the Fula people conquered the Fouta Djallon in the 13th - 16th centuries. With the collapse of the empire, southern Manden confederations and states continued to exist, including in the area around Kouroussa. In the 17th century the Fama Da Monzon Diarra of the Bambara Empire made Kouroussa the southern reach of his state. By the 18th century the Fula Muslim Imamate of Futa Jallon led by the Alamay of Timbo provided pressure from the south and west, while the growing Kong state (in modern Côte d'Ivoire) became powerful to the south and east. The Mandé state around Kouroussa, called in some periods ''Hamana'' and in others ''Koumara'', continued as an important trade center and small regional power, squeezed between these forces.〔(Jan Jansen. THE REPRESENTATION OF STATUS IN MANDE: DID THE MALIEMPIRE STILL EXIST IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY? ) History in Africa 23 (1996), 87-109
Note: Jansen argues for a reappraisal of Mandé dating which pushes remnants of the Mali Empire into the 19th century. The more traditional dates are accepted in Charlotte A Quinn. Mandingo kingdoms of the Senegambia: Traditionalism, Islam, and European expansion. Longman (1972). ISBN 0-582-64547-6〕
