Résumé

This paper investigates cultural interactions between the Soninke of Ghana (or Wagadu kingdom) and the Maghribī Ibāḍiyya in the western Sudan, from about a century before, to approximately a century after the Almoravid confederation in the western Sahara. From the late 8th and early 9th centuries, the Ibāḍiyya, together with other Berberophone populations, moved south into the upper Senegal and Niger river regions, primarily engaging in commercial and missionary activities. They usually stayed in towns or Muslim quarters near urban settlements such as Tahert, Wargla, and Gao, where they came into contact with Soninke traders. The degree to which Soninke-speakers may have been influenced by the Ibāḍī religion is not clear, but available evidence suggests that some pre-Almoravid conversions occurred. However, after the 11th century, the Almoravids effectively removed most traces of the Ibāḍī doctrine (Catalogue African Studies Centre, Leiden).
