Video : Kanem-Bornu Empire's Peak Power and Influence

Video Title

Influence of the Kanem Empire around 1200 AD. This map illustrates the influence of the Kanem Empire during Mai Dunama Dabbalemi's reign (1203–1259). However, it is not fully accurate, as the empire reached its peak during this period, extending as far as the Zella oasis in the northern Fezzan region, within present-day Jufra district of the Libyan desert. By the late 1500s to early 1600s, under Mai Idris Alouma (1580–1603), the Kanem-Bornu Empire's influence expanded even further, covering much of the southern regions of present-day Kanem-Bornu and reaching northward into Sudan, the Darfur region of western Sudan, and the southeast Tazir (Kufra) region in the Libyan desert and the Fezzan region.
