    <subfield code="a">&lt;strong&gt;This record will soon be published.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunjata Versus Sumanguru&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Keita clan were the rulers of Manding but Susu Sumanguru seized the power for 15 years and he killed 15 appointed rulers in Manding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was claimed by the sorcerers that a ruler would emerge from Muhamadou Konateh&amp;rsquo;s family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata and his brother were both born on the same day.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sunjata&amp;rsquo;s brother&amp;rsquo;s birth was announced before him and that made him the older brother but Sunjata was born before him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata was born with teeth in his mouth and sorcerers claimed that he would become a ruler in Manding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sano last names came from Manding and the are praised as Sano Dukara.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sanneh clan include Sanneh Malung who are from Kiang Kayaf, Sanneh Darboe are from Jarra and they are the descendants of Sheik Mustafa from Dasilameh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sanneh Balamang are from Kabu Dabantang.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Kelemantokoba Sanneh is from Kiramang.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sanneh and Manneh last names are both from the same parents.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The descendants of Tiramankang.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sanneh Buwarou are mainly Fulas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All of Sunjata&amp;rsquo;s age mates walked before him.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He was lame and can&amp;rsquo;t do much as others could do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;His mother was there without a helper to get her baobab leaves and people use to humiliate her for having a lame child.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata was angered by that and he sent for the blacksmiths to make him iron crutches.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When they were made he used them and went for the baobab leaves and brought the whole baobab tree for his mother.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This was one of the miracles he did.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When his father died he stayed with the family until he grew up with his sister.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He later left with his mother and sister to live with Fari Brayma Tunkara.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While they were there his mother got ill and later died.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When she died Fari Brayma the ruler asked Sunjata to pay for his mother&amp;rsquo;s grave yard, which Sunjata did along with signs of a revenge against Fari Brayma.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata later left with his sister to Darbola.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He found them at the town square (Bantaba) going round a silk cotton tree doing some sort of ritual.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;They welcome him and put him to a test to know his capability.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Darbo chief fired a shot and asked Sunjata to fire.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sunjata did and his shot cut off the branch of the tree.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ruler slapped him and he wanted to revenge but his sister stopped him.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sunjata grab the ruler&amp;rsquo;s wrist and pointed to his head and that caused all his hairs to fall off.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;That resulted in many Darbo clan members having bald head.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Ebrima Njai&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ebrima Njai came from Kajor and settled in Marsasu in Casssamance.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He was mainly trading but while doing business he mobilized a holy war (jihad) against the people of Foni region and Kombo.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He conquered Foni and continued to Kombo where he met Kombo Sillah another Jihadist, who asked him to go into a joined war.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He refused to joined Kombo Sillah and continued to attack the non-believers in Kombo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The people of Kombo attacked him between Kembuje and Kunkujang while his people from Saloum were in Lamin coming to support him.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He fought with Kombo and he was defeated and killed and the rest of his men fled to the provinces.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Among them was Sainey Sonkoba who went to settle at Bantanto.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationships:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata and his brother were both born on the same day&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Places:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Kiang Kayaf, Dasilameh, Kiramang and Darbola&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Movements:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata moved from Manding to Fari Brayma Tunkara&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ruler of Darbola slapped him after winning the test and he wanted to revenge but his sister stopped him&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunjata grab the ruler&amp;rsquo;s wrist and pointed to his head and that caused all his hairs to fall off&lt;/p&gt;
