[edit] origin

The article based on the LoC states that the kingdom originated from Darfur, the article at Wadai that I am merging in states that it is from the Kanem-Bornu Empire. This isn't sourced so I'll go with the LOC, but if someone has an independent source that they can double check... - BanyanTree 15:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] correct name?

Subsequent to the merge mentioned above, I found Rulers of Wada'i. It also appears that Wadai is more widely used that Ouaddai, with Brittanica using Ouaddai for the current cultural region of Chad and Wadai for the kingdom. Thoughts on the proper location for this article? - BanyanTree 15:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amusing error

"In 1635, the Maba and other small groups in the region rallied to the Islamic banner of Abd al-Karim..." Who? Abd el-Krim, the Moroccan hero of 20th century? --Cloj (talk) 21:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm.. Is it meant to be sarcasm? Well, however; the awnser is obviously not: see his entry in the Historical Dictionary of Chad.--Aldux (talk) 21:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
