Observation

This was a popular question as it was answered by many candidates.
Some candidates derailed by writing the factors that led the rise of
Kanem-Borno or about Idris Alooma.  However, some candidates
performed creditably well.  They were able to highlight the following points;

  1. there were succession disputes;
  2. military strength of the empire became weak due to civil wars;
  3. there were external attacks by the Tuareg and Jukun;
  4. absence of effective leadership;
  5. revolts of vassal states e.g. Mandara; etc.
