Kanem was originally a confederation of various ethnic groups, but by 1100AD, a people called the Kanuri settled in Kanem and in the thirteenth century the Kanuri began upon a conquest of their neighbors. They were led by Mai Dunama Dibbalemi (1221-1259), the first of the Kanuri to convert to Islam. Dibbalemi declared physical jihad (holy war) against surrounding minor states and so began one of the most dynamic periods of conquest in Africa. At the height of their empire, the Kanuri controlled territory from Libya to Lake Chad to Hausaland. These were strategic areas, as all the commercial traffic through North Africa had to pass through Kanuri territory. As a result of the military and commercial growth of Kanem, the once nomadic Kanuri eventually turned to a more sedentary way of life. Pictured here is a painting of the king of Bornu in royal procession arriving at one of his provincial residences around 1850AD. Pictured here are Bornu horsemen trumpeters sounding the Frum-Frums.

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Communities of nomadic people move from place to place, rather than settling down in one location. Many cultures have been traditionally nomadic, but nomadic behaviour is increasingly rare in industrialised countries. Typically there are two kinds of nomad, pastoral nomads and peripatetic nomads. Pastoralists raise herds and move with them so as not to deplete pasture beyond recovery in any one area. Peripatetic nomads are more common in industrialised nations travelling from place to place offering a trade wherever they go. Nomadic people in industrialized nations: Roma and Sinti The Roma (singular Rom ), commonly known and to them, pejoratively as Gypsies , are a traditionally nomadic people who originated in northern India but currently live worldwide, chiefly in Europe. Most Roma speak some form of Romany, a language closely related to the modern Indo-European languages of northern India. Their principal occupations over the centuries have been as itinerant peddlers, metal workers and horse dealers.

On Friday, September 7, a young Christian woman tried to cross the road through a congregation of Muslims outside the mosque. She was asked to wait until prayers had finished or to choose another route, but she refused and an argument developed between her and some members of the congregation. Within minutes, the argument had unleashed a violent battle between groups of Christians who appeared at the scene and Muslims who had been praying at the mosque or who happened to be in the neighborhood.

Extractions: In Cameroon, with more than 1 million Fulani, there are around 100 known believers who meet in a half dozen rather fragile house fellowships. Though still a very small number, this is exciting news. The BGC missionary team in Cameroon directing their attention toward Fulanis includes a water engineer, veterinary doctor, doctors and nurses, a builder and three African evangelists (one is a converted Fulani). Grace Fellowship Church decided to informally join the team through their adoption. Adopting a people group At Grace Fellowship, adoption of the Fulani includes: Prayer - research and strategic prayer Projects - sending teams and resources Presence - recruiting Grace Fellowship members for extended service with field missionaries Plant - the ambitious goal is an indigenous church planting movement sufficient to reach the people group Educating Grace about the Fulani takes place though informative materials and regular Sunday morning reports with news from the field. The adoption is a regular agenda item for church business meetings, where discussions include the church budget and possible trips and projects. Sending members on mission trips is critical to the education and ownership of the adoption.

Extractions: Mother Returns Art Crimes: How long have you been painting canvases and portable pieces? Joseph: I've been doing portable pieces all of my life. I came up on cheap sketch pads and typing paper, on Saturday morning art classes that taught me all of the accepted forms of visual art. Those classes also taught me to respect other forms of art whether I understood them at that young age or not. I developed my skills in the following order (blending them as time went on): crayons - ya'll know what it is, pencil, pen, markers, colored pencils, markers, watercolors, inks and dyes, oil and acrylic painting, and then somewhat recently - the aerosol can and airbrush. I did a lot of poster-size masterpieces on illustration board. I had always looked at brush to canvas painting as the ultimate level of accomplishment. I thought it was hard. I tell a lot of younger people that I've had the pleasure of working with that no medium is impossible to adapt to if you have "EYE" and know the "LINE". Drawing is the basis of the artist's perception.
