The 1903 Fall of Kano: West Africa's Last Caliphate

Listen for free

View show details

In 1903, the British West Africa Frontier Force marched on Kano, the commercial heart of the Sokoto Caliphate. This episode follows the battle that ended the Caliphate's independence. We walk through Kano's ancient city walls, the last stand under Sultan Attahiru, and the British occupation. Along the way, we explore Kano's role as a trans-Saharan trade hub, the Hausa textile industry, and the legacy of the Kano Chronicle. We also consider the contested narrative: was this a liberation from Fulani rule or a colonial conquest? #Kano #SokotoCaliphate #Attahiru #BritishConquest #BattleOfKano #Hausa #Fulani #FexingoHistory #NigeriaHistory #WestAfrica #Colonialism #1903 #KanoChronicle #TransSaharanTrade #HausaTextiles #Lugard #History #MilitaryHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
