All these obligations did not affect the memory of the rulers of Bornu when, after a long succession of civil wars, they at last made good their position on the throne, and, in the person of Ali Ghajideni, who began to reign in 1472, opened a new and glorious epoch of Bornu history. Ali Ghajideni, who built the old capital of Bornu, now known by the name of Birni, three days west of the modern town of Kuka, on Lake Chad, reigned from about 1472 to 1504, and therefore brought the history of Born...u up to the moment of the Songhay conquest of Haussaland. He reformed the government, reorganised the army, and renewed the ancient glory of Bornu.
