  Fulani Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fulani were traditionally a nomadic, pastoral community, herding cattle, goats and sheep.
The Fulani were mostly Muslims, as were the rulers of most of the states in the region.
Poor and on the periphery of Hausaland, it was ruled by a remnant of the defunct Gao empire.

Fulani, when the terrorist Abu Jihad, the mastermind of the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, was finally slain by the Israelis in 1988 your newspaper published an “In Memorium” article which stated that “the international progressive community” was mourning “the loss of one of its greatest political-military tacticians.” Ms.
Fulani, it is a matter of public record that in 1992 you became the “political advisor” (and the IWP legal team became the attorneys) for Kodzo DoBosu, the adoptive father of 44 disabled and retarded children, who had been accused by New York child welfare authorities of serious physical and sexual abuse of his charges.

 Behind the Headlines
Fulani is a longtime left-wing activist and a professional psychotherapist who ran for President as the candidate of the New Alliance Party – the first fl presidential candidate to get on the ballot in all fifty states.
Active in the Reform Party since its inception, Fulani is a tireless activist on behalf of independent politics, and has been trying for decades to lure the left out of its traditional obeisance as a satrap of the Democratic Party.
Fulani is now a power broker in the Reform Party, where her own brand of weirdness apparently doesn't stand out, and Buchanan is said to be courting her favor in order to win the party's nomination.

 The Howard Dean campaign: Climb mountain; erect cross.
Fulani was a flake, as I knew, and the New Alliance a flash in the pan; but it was perceived as the liberal alternative, and that is what I wanted.
A certain nostalgia and wistfulness for the protest atmosphere of the Vietnam War era has been present among those who remember the euphoria of the time, and those who feel deprived of it by their youth.
I regret significantly that liberalism, and especially its boisterous revival, should be linked to the unfortunate demand on the Iraqi people that they suffer for several more years or decades until the West got its act together, that tyranny should be a less-important concern for liberals than the cultivation of the appearance of international cooperation.

 Fear and Loathing on the Left
Lenora Fulani ran her first presidential campaign in 1988, getting on the ballot in all 50 states, qualifying for federal primary funds and polling 220,000 votes.
The notion that Fulani, the Black feminist left winger had co-created a new political party to whom Buchanan, the displaced disempowered pro-lifer had come for support, was inconsequential to them.
Now it's directed at progressives like Fulani and her political mentor Fred Newman who eschew the "party line" on the Democratic Party and who have conjoined with politically incorrect antiestablishment partners to build a populist independent party.

 Powelson Chapter 8 - Warfare, Slavery, Colonialsim, and Law
But fundamentally it was endemic war, waged for millennia in all parts of the [African] continent, that set the norm of the territorial fluid state.
In Africa, inter-societal war was a first-resort means of resolving conflicts outside the family or clan, until peace was imposed by colonial powers in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
That war was almost continuous in North Africa from the seventh to fifteenth centuries is no surprise, for it was then endemic to the entire world.

The following statement by Dr. Lenora Fulani, who led a five person delegation to the International Peace Gathering in Tripoli last week as the guests of the Libyan government, was made upon their arrival back in New York City on April 17.
This is the same newspaper that led the wolf pack during the New York gubernatorial campaign last war in smearing Fulani, and the independent Black-led New Alliance Party she leads, as “extremist” and “anti Semitic” because of her refusal to repudiate Minister Louis Farrakhan.
She is a threat because she speaks to and for the masses of poor and working people and progressive middle class people in this country and around the world who know that peace and freedom are inseparable, and are prepared to fight for both.

It is very difficult to determine the potential risk facing the Fulani due to the severe lack of information available on their present situation.
The Fulani comprise a large percentage of the population, and the 1998 actions carried out by Fulani and Malinke soldiers indicated that there was a level of frustration that could lead to activity.
The Fulani are one of the largest ethnic groups in Guinea.

Fulani and her allies are continuing to fight MacKay in court over his move to dissolve three NYC Independence Party county committees (Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx), which he and his backers did because they believed those organizations were too controlled by Fulani et al.
Fulani and her backers have brought repeated legal challenges against the February resolution that disbanded the county parties, and have been repeatedly shot down.
Lenora Fulani today asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate what she maintains is a U.S. Voting Rights Act violation by state Independence Party Chairman Frank MacKay and other party leaders who disbanded three NYC county party committees they allege Fulani controls.

 Toward Freedom - Lenora Fulani (3/00)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Lenora Fulani, former presidential candidate of the now defunct New Alliance Party (NAP), and "critic" of the two party monopoly on politics in the US, recently stunned many observers by endorsing Pat Buchanan's campaign to become the Reform Party's candidate for President in the 2000 election.
Indeed, Fulani promised to bring Pat Buchanan to the heart of Harlem, the Capital of Black America, to dine at Sylvia's restaurant, and speak at the House of Justice, headquarters for the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
For her part, Fulani is so mesmerized by Newman that she has praised him as a leader "who has done more for Black people than any Black leader alive." Together this odd couple has been exploiting Black folks to promote their own agenda, which mostly appears to be enriching Newman and his associates.

 Buchanan-Fulani: New Team?
Buchanan would like Fulani's support; her Reform Party faction was strong enough to secure her 45 percent of the delegate vote in the party's recent election for vice chair.
Fulani ran for lieutenant governor of New York in 1998 on the ticket headed by businessman Tom Golisano, and the Newmanites made themselves a major force in Golisano's Independence Party.
Over the past fifteen years, Fulani and the Newmanites have become the undisputed kings of third-party ballot lines, mastering the intricate and varied laws of all fifty states and repeatedly challenging punitive restrictions in court with the help of their core of perhaps 100 key supporters.

 Fulani Holy War 1804-1810
It became a permanent capital of the Fulani empire in 1809, when Usman divided the empire into two sectors and made his son Muhammad Bello overlord of the eastern emirates.
This was especially true in the 18th and 19th centuries in Muslim Africa south of Sahara, where religiopolitical conquests were seen as jihads, most notably the jihad of Usman dan Fodio, which established the Sokoto caliphate (1804) in what is now northern Nigeria.
Food supplies were a continuing problem; the requisitioning of local food antagonized the peasantry; increasing dependence on the great Fulani clan leaders, who alone could put substantial forces into the field, alienated the non-Fulani.

As a result the war, which Shehu himself regarded as a purely religious one, tended nevertheless to develop along ethnic lines and to become, in the main, a struggle between the Fulani and their miscellaneous allies on one side and the Hausa and later Kanuri ruling classes on the other.
At a later stage of the war, thanks to the arms and horses which they captured in their battles, the Fulani were as well equipped as their enemies.
The city was then closely invested with the Katsina Fulani, under their new Emir Umaru Dallaji, holding the ring to the south and west, the Zamfara Fulani under Namoda to the north, and Shehu's own forces under Aliyu Jaidu to the east 41.

Fulani and Newman then showed their utter contempt for the mayor's appeasement by putting on as their first play at the new center in January 2004 a production (written by Newman) that blamed the 1991 Crown Heights pogrom on the mayor's fellow Jews.
Fulani's April 13 remarks is beating down the doors of the tiny network of principled IP dissidents around Michael Zumbluskas to provide them with resources to wage a meaningful fight.
Fulani and her cohort Fred Newman ought to be thrown out of the party and not given a home, especially one where mainstream public leaders like Governor George Pataki, Senator Charles Schumer, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer or Mayor Michael Bloomberg lend them any bit of credibility.

The war began with ethnic rivalry in the armed forces.
After the military coup in January 1966, in which Tafawa Balewa's government was overthrown by junior Ibo officers, Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, an Ibo, was the appointed head of government by ministers that survived the January 1966 coup.
The FMG regained control of the mid-west and the delta region, and terminated Biafra access to the sea by the end of 1967, yet, they were unable to penetrate the Ibo heartland - resulting in a stalemate.

 Nigeriaworld Letters & Viewpoints (Who deployed these soldiers and for what purpose?)
While statements of grandeur have become rampant in a mischievous campaign to grandstand, fool the public, and to blame Tiv people for defending themselves, government and her agents are yet to explain to Nigerians, when and who deployed the Nigerian Military for the aborted peace mission in Benue state.
And he would have also been prosecuted for using or attempting to use National Army in his capacity as a Defense Minister, to tilt a tribal war in favor of his tribe under the guise of a peace mission, which apparently, was neither authorized nor announced to the public.
The lives of thousands of Tiv people killed in this war are as important as those of the soldiers; more to the point, majority of those Tiv people were asleep in their homes when they were killed, as opposed to those soldiers who were killed while on attack.

Back in 1988, when Dr. Fulani was running for President as an independent, the Democratic National Committee's largest donor -- a commodities exchange broker from Chicago -- funded an outfit called Political Research Associates to produce a "research report" on her.
Fulani is not a cultist, nor an anti-Semite, and -- for the record - not a Stalinist.
He and Fulani haven't exactly gotten along, but they've carved out a "peaceful co-existence." George Pataki is courting the Independence Party for its crucial Column C in next year's gubernatorial race and appeared at a Manhattan Independence fundraiser in August with party leaders, including Fulani.

The fiercest jihad of all came from the Fulani homeland of Senegal, and was led by a cleric named Umar (1797-1864), a native of the state of Futa Toro.
In 1883 a civil war broke out between the Zulu chiefs; Cetshwayo was killed, and his son Dinuzulu only managed to win after the Boers gave him their support, in exchange for the northwestern third of Zululand (the Zulus living in this area immediately became tenant laborers on the new white-run farms).

Libertarians have a number of good reasons to oppose the "war on drugs." The first, of course, is based in the notion of self-ownership.
Drug war prisoners constitute a large minority, some say a majority, of the US prison population, and that prison population is the largest per capita in the world.
The "war on drugs" has encouraged a trend of ever more potent, dangerous drugs which are more addictive and more likely to engender an abusive response in their users.

Foreign policy and international conflict are in the news these days as President Clinton wraps up his tours of south Asia, the Russians hold their presidential elections and the New York Times and Washington Post run stories about how the Iraqis may be purchasing SCUD missile technology from the North Koreans via Sudan.
My presentation, "Beyond Left and Right: How the Vietnam War Turned the Antiwar Left into Pro-War Democrats," was a chronicle of the left's capitulation on anti-imperialism and anti-interventionism to the Democratic Party during the 1960s and 1970s.
During and since the Vietnam War, the American left could not come to terms with the fact that war and imperialism are the logical extensions of the policies of political parties that cater to and are strategically controlled by globalist financial interests and multinational corporations.

In a shift as sudden as a lightning bolt, the self-righteous MacKay reinvented himself as the chief litmus tester of the party, and greased the skids for the removal of his supposedly politically incorrect pals from NYC.
Briefly stated, the only evidence against Dr. Fulani was that she had made an oft-quoted statement, way back in 1989, and that Kresky, Sinawski, Stewart, Holland, and Fields were somehow associated with Fulani.
