Ahmadu Tall




After Umar Tall's 1864 death, his nephew Tidiani Tall succeeded him as head of the Toucouleur Empire . Ahmadu continued to act as imam, suppressing the rebellions of several neighboring cities but quarrelling increasingly with his brothers. The French Colonial army invaded the empire in the 1880s and 1890s , taking Ségou in 1892 and forcing Ahmadu to flee to Sokoto in present-day Nigeria .
