Mora

Mora lies at the foot of the Mandara Mountains, in the country of the Wandala kingdom. Its rulers governed from centres that included nearby Doulo, while the mountain and plain lay close to the domains of powerful Bornu. Around 1715 Mai Bukar Aji embraced Islam and Mandara became a sultanate. A century later Modibo Adama briefly captured Doulo during the Fulbe jihad, but a Mandara counterattack drove him out.
