The Torodbe (singular Torodo; also called Turudiyya, Banu Toro) were Muslim clerics who were active in the Western Sudan region of Africa during the eighteenth century. Their teachings in part inspired the series of ''jihads'' that the Fulbe launched at that time. ==Origins== The Torodbe seem to have originated in Futa Toro, later spreading throughout the Fulbe territories. Futa Toro was a strip of agricultural land along the Senegal River. Two of the Futa Toro clans claimed to be descended from a seventh-century relative of one of the companions of the prophet Muhammad who was among a group of invaders of Futa Toro. They may well have been a distinct group by the fifteenth century, when the Denianke conquered Futa Toro. In the last quarter of the seventeenth century the Zawaya reformer Nasir al-Din launched a jihad to restore purity of religious observance in the Futa Tooro. He gained support from the Torodbe clerical clan against the warriors, but by 1677 the movement had been defeated. After this defeat, some of the Torodbe migrated south to Bundu and some continued on to the Fouta Djallon. 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「Torodbe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
