Note 121 — Chapter XVI · THE FULANI IN WEST AFRICAN HISTORY
Reading edition
A correspondent of a Paris paper, La Dépêche Coloniale, writing from Kunde, on the Sangha River, on December 10, 1901, says: “Our clothes, which are ragged from bush travelling, do not convey a great idea of our influence, especially when compared to the Fulbes (Fulani) in their embroidered cloths and leather riding-boots. They are all on horseback and we are on foot. There are thousands of them, and all are armed.”
