Question
The Agadez Chronicles report these people electing a sultan of Aïr in the 15th century, which legitimized Lissawan claims to the Ader (“ah-DAR”). For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these people whose “drum groups” conquered Kawar’s oases from Bornu around 1760. These Amazigh people wear blue tagelmust in the Sahara.
ANSWER: Tuareg people [or Twaregs or Touaregs; or Imuhagh, Imajeghăn, Imushagh, or Imašeghăn; accept Aulliminden, Gawalley, Ifoghas, Iwellemmedan, Kel Adagh, Kel Ataram, Kel Denneg, Kel Dinnik, Kel Gress, Kel Owi, Lemta, or Massufa; prompt on Berbers] (Benedetta Rossi argued that the Chronicles were embellished by Lissawan elites who provided translations of Arabic manuscripts to colonists.)
[10h] 18th-century Tuareg raids centralized this Hausafied sultanate in modern Niger (“nee-ZHAIR”). The explorer Dorogu visited Europe from this sultanate, whose sarkis imported muskets from Tripoli and cast wheeled cannons to fight Bornu.
ANSWER: Zinder [or Sultanate of Zinder or Sultanate of Sinder; or Sultanate of Damagaram or Sultanate of Damagaran] (Dorogu dictated an 1856 Hausa-language travelogue of his journeys with Heinrich Barth.)
[10m] This Sufi order sponsored by Muḥammad al-Sharīf of Wadai sent embassies to the Tuaregs of Zinder and Agadez, as well as to Somaliland. This order’s zawiya outposts later fought the Italians in Libya during World War I.
ANSWER: Senussi [or Sanūssi or al-Sanūssiyya; accept Senussi campaign; accept Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī al-Sanūsī or Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī al-Sanūsī al-Mujāhirī al-Ḥasanī al-Idrīsī]
