Question

Idoma oral tradition holds that a war named for these animals drove them from their ancestral homeland to the land that they currently occupy. Ouedraogo (“way-drah-OH-goh”), the founder of the Tenkodogo Mossi Kingdom and grandfather of the founder of Ouagadougou (“wah-gah-DOO-goo”), was named for one of these animals. (15[1])The connection of these animals to officials called esos declined over time in the Oyo Empire. (15[1]-5[1])The raids of the Bornu Empire funded its acquisition of these animals, (15[1])which, as recorded by Leo Africanus, were exchanged for 15-20 (*) slaves each. Some crossings of the Dongola and Barb varieties of these animals developed resistance to trypanosomiasis. (10[1]-5[2])A typical translation of the name “Janjaweed” is “devils on” (10[1])these animals. (10[1])For 10 points, name these animals that were commonly brought across the Sahara to the Sahel to serve as faster mounts than camels. ■END■ (10[3])
