  SENUSSI [SANUSI] and SENUSSITES - LoveToKnow Article on SENUSSI [SANUSI] and SENUSSITES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Mahommed Sherif, the sultan of Wadai, had died in 1858, but his successors the Sultan Ali (who reigned until 1874) and the Sultan Yusef (reigned from 1874 to 1898) were equally devoted to the Senussia.
Senussi retaliated, says Captain Julien in his history of Wadai, by prohibiting the people of Wadai from smoking tobacco or drinking merissa, the native beer, which is to the Wadaiin what the skin is to the body.
Gustav Nachtigal was in Wadai in 1873, Gerhard Rholls traversed the Cyrenaica and visited Kufra in 1879; but in general the Senussi, supported by the Turks at Tripoli, have closed the regions under their control to Europeans.

 Senussi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The successors to the Sultan of Wadai, Sultan Ali (1858 to 1874) and the Sultan Yusef (1874 to 1898) continued to support the Senussi.
In 1890 the Mahdists advancing from Darfur were stopped on the frontier of Wadai, the sultan Yusef being firm in his adherence to the Senussi teaching.
This event showed the sheik the possibility of danger and led him (in 1894) to remove his headquarters to Jof in the oases of Kufra, a place sufficiently remote to secure him from any chance of sudden attack.
