Dinguiraye (N’ko: ߘߌ߲ߞߌߙߊߦߌ߫ ) is a small town in northern Guinea, known for its large mosque which until recently was thatched. It was the first capital of the Tukulor Empire. As of 2014 it had a population of 47,250 people.[1]

History

Mosque of Dinguiraye ca. 1900

Dinguiraye was founded by El Hajj Umar Tall in 1849, after being forced to leave the town of Diegunko in the Imamate of Futa Jallon.[2] Tall bought the land from the Kingdom of Tamba with gold, and his community soon grew to 8-10000 people.[3] Al-Hadj Umar commissioned the city's large mosque at this time.[4] Engineers Samba Ndiaye and "Johnny" Bambara led the construction, as well as that of the town's tata.[5] Dinguiraye was well placed on trade routes connecting the Niger river to the coast, with caravans frequently going back and forth to Freetown.[6]

The king Dyimba Sako became concerned at the rising power of his new neighbor, and attacked them, but was defeated.[3] Tall launched a full-scale jihad against animists and lapsed Muslims in 1852.[2]

On May 21st, 1854, Tall left Dinguiraye to campaign in the north. He never returned. His son Habibou was left in command. After Tall's death in 1864, his son Ahmadu succeeded him. Habibou joined a rebellion in 1870, and was captured and imprisoned.[7] Leadership of Dinguiraye fell to Ahmadu's cousin Saidou, but he was killed in battle in 1876.[8]Aguibou Tall arrived to take over the governorship in late 1878 or early 1879.[9][10]

Aguibou se encontraba geográficamente aislado del resto del Imperio Toucouleur y buscó la protección de los franceses. En mayo de 1891, Dinguiraye fue anexionada al imperio colonial francés . [ 11 ] Poco después, Aguibou fue nombrado Faama de Massina , y su hijo Makki asumió el liderazgo de Dinguiraye. Sin embargo, en 1899, los franceses lo destituyeron y lo exiliaron, reorganizando el territorio y poniendo fin incluso a la independencia nominal de Dinguiraye. [ 12 ]
