Le récit
Dunama Dibalami ruled Kanem during the first half of the thirteenth century. The excerpt places his reign between 607/1210 and 646/1248, a period in which sedentary elements finally gained the upper hand over the older balance between settled communities and nomadic groups.
The transformation associated with Dunama’s reign was not merely social. It proceeded alongside the progress of Islamization, linking the consolidation of sedentary political structures with the growing influence of Islam in the kingdom. Earlier kings had maintained matrimonial connections with nomadic groups such as the Tomaghra and Tubu.
Dunama’s reign therefore represents a documented transition in the development of Kanem. The excerpt does not provide a detailed biography or describe specific campaigns, but it identifies his rule as a chronological marker for the changing balance between nomadic and sedentary elements.
