prehistory
The kingdom of Bornu in Sudan was conquered by Rabeh in 1893 and France in turn conquered the empire of Rabeh from 1899–1901. The French installed Garbai as sultan in the Bornu area. Most of the Rabeh area was incorporated into its colonial empire by France, but the Bornu area was contractually divided between the colonial powers England and Germany and the German part became German Bornu. Garbai assumed rule as sultan in English Bornu.
history
In Deutsch-Bornu, after the land was taken over by the German colonial administration in 1901, Omar Sanda was installed as sultan in 1902, with his seat in Dikoa . Dikoa had previously been the capital of Rabeh.
