Can anyone help about the history of Tijaniyya Botherhood in Senegambia. If they is no documentation is it not time to document about the religious history of our region through scholarly research. Professor Lamin O Sanneh did a good work about the Jakhanke Muslim clerics ; A religious and historical study of Islam in Senegambia 1250-1905. I hope the documentation should continue from where he study.
We are a people with rich history and culture and our history should be documented through digging research in the colonial achives. British Imperial history has documented a lot and we should to learn to search for those information and disseminate them for enlightment of what we are and what we want to be as Senegambians.
