Biografia
[modifica | modifica wikitesto]Nato verso il 1830 nel villaggio di Sanankoro in Guinea, Samori Turé apparteneva ad un popolo africano del gruppo Mandé.
Verso il 1870 cominciò a creare nella regione delle sorgenti del Niger un proprio stato, noto come impero Wassulu o stato di Samory, fondato su principi islamici e con un forte esercito ben organizzato, che si riforniva di armi moderne in cambio di oro, avorio e schiavi attraverso il Sierra Leone, al tempo colonia britannica.[2]
Samory introdusse un sistema fiscale ed una amministrazione provinciale ed assicurò la pace interna con una rigida giurisdizione del territorio. Ampliando di continuo il suo Stato, non si scontrò solo con altri sovrani africani, ma soprattutto contro i francesi, che si stavano espandendo in Africa occidentale.

One of the great kings, and fighters of African freedom was the great Samori Touré. Over 100 years ago, Samori Touré was captured by the French and deported to Gabon where he died of pneumonia.

Warrior king, empire builder and hero of the resistance against the French colonization of West Africa during the 19th century, Samori Touré was born around 1830 in the Milo River Valley in present-day Guinea. His father was a trader, leading Touré to follow his family’s occupation early on. In the 1850s, he enrolled in the military forces at Madina (present-day Mali) to liberate his mother, who was a member of the Malinké ethnic group, captured during a raid. He subsequently acquired military skills during various campaigns he undertook for local chiefs before starting his own career.
Touré became a well-known leader, training and commanding a growing and disciplined army. He expanded his conquests, building a united empire called Mandinka. By 1874, he declared himself Faama (monarch), and established the capital of his kingdom at Bisandugu in present-day Gambia.
