Abdul Kaader
The first and most effective ruler of Fuuta Tooro was Almaami Abdul Kaader, a victorious general who extended Fulbe influence into the regions of western and southeastern Senegal. He also redistributed lands amongst his followers and assigned imaams to many villages. The quick rise to power of the Fuuta Tooro kingdom was halted however by Almaami Abdul's defeat in Kajoor around 1797. This marked the beginning of the decline of the regime. Abdul was assassinated in 1807.
