Samori Ture
1830 CE–1900 CE · Bissandugu
Samori Ture (c. 1830–1900) was a West African military leader and Muslim cleric who founded the Wassoulou Empire across parts of present-day Guinea, Mali, and Côte d'Ivoire. From about 1882 he led a prolonged and mobile resistance against French colonial expansion, employing tactics that delayed French advance for well over a decade. He was captured by French forces in 1898 and exiled to Gabon, where he died of pneumonia in 1900. He is remembered as one of the leading figures of African resistance to colonial rule.
