Kanem and Bornu
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The Magomi were the patrilineage of the Sefuwa kings and, according to the extract, became the nucleus of the Kanuri people. They appear prominently in the royal marriage network from the reign of Dunama Dibalami and gradually eclipsed other sedentary groups in Kanem by the early fourteenth century. Their precise origin before the Sefuwa period is unknown, and the extract cautions against treating them as the force that originally brought Hummay to power.

Le récit
The Magomi, spelled M.g.h.r.m by the chroniclers, constituted the patrilineage of the Sefuwa kings. The extract finds no evidence that they existed before the Sefuwa reigns, and warns that it would be mistaken to regard them as the political force that enabled Hummay to accede to power. Their importance developed within the new dynastic order rather than preceding it.
The Magomi became increasingly prominent in the royal marriage system. The mother of Dunama Dibalami was Magomi, as was one of his wives, the mother of Kaday. By the beginning of the fourteenth century, after the record ceased to identify the ethnic origins of queen-mothers, the Magomi may have eclipsed the other sedentary groups of Kanem.
The extract interprets the Magomi as the nucleus from which the Kanuri people gradually established themselves. This process began from a dynastic stock connected to the Sefuwa kings, while the state of Kanem-Bornu itself probably had older origins. Magomi identity therefore links political descent, royal genealogy and the later formation of a major population of the central Sudan.
