About From Babylon to Fuuta Jaloh: A Valiant OdysseyThere have been numerous efforts at identifying my tribe in various parts of the Sub-Sahara. Some call it Fulah, Fulani, or Peuhl and others call it Haali-Pulaar. We call ourselves Fulbhe. Of all the mysteries that lie hidden in Africa, none presents a more mesmeric interest than the origin of the Fulbhe tribe which has infused its uniqueness throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The question of “where do the Fulbhe come from” gets asked often because the tribe is found in every country in Sub-Saharan Africa. Several conflicting theories have been shared about the tribe’s origin. These mismatched notions have led many to believe that the tribe’s heritage is indiscernible. Basing his book on remarkable research, join the author as he conveys the factual origin, cultural heritage, contemporary history, and the tribe’s contribution to societal developments. Abu takes us through the different major tribal migrations throughout history and traces the tribe’s origin back to the earliest civilized region in Mesopotamia (Babylon). He talks about the various established Fulbhe Empires with an emphasis on Fuuta Jaloh, the first civilized theocratic empire founded in Sub-Saharan Africa based on the Rule of Law with a governing constitution. The storyline is capped by the causes that truncated the impressive Fulbhe developments in the Sub-Saharan region.
