List of rulers of Liptako
[edit]- ... that two of the emirs of Liptako were deported from their own country? Source: "Il [Bokari Sori] fut déporté, l'année même de son élection, à Kidal, au Mali, où il mourut un an après. (...) L'administration coloniale l'accusa [Abdurraman Amadu] d'exactions, entre autres d'empoisonnement, et le déporta à Bilma, au Niger, en 1932, où il mourut la même année de manière suspecte." (Pillet-Schwartz 2003, p. 906; see Google Books, when its cooperating)
- ALT1:... that the emirs of Liptako replaced the kings of Koala? Source: Broadly, all of Chapter V of Irwin: "...the kings of Koala are an offshoot of the imperial lineage [of Nungu], and eight of them ruled in Liptako" (p. 94), and then most of the rest of the chapter dedicated to the jihad that established the emirate.

I prefer the base hook.ALT 1 included in case someone quibbles that Liptako was no longer "their own country" while under French colonial occupation.
- Because there's now somewhat more information about the kings of Koala, I have a more positive opinion about ALT 1, which might actually attract attention from some readers for the unusual name. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:19, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, although I prefer ALT1 as being more intriguing. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ review has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
