Shaikh Amadou Ba
When he prepared to sacrifice his son, claiming that God had told him imitate Abraham, he was driven out of the region and joined serigne Koki Ndiaga Issa Diop's invasion of Waalo.Inspired by his father and al-hajj Umar Tall's examples, Shaikh Amadou saw it as a sign of the apolalypse, with himself as the Mahdi and the Tijaniyyah as the only community of true believers.After demanding that the leaders of the region follow him, he was forced into exile by the ruling religious establishment of the Imamate of Futa Toro.[4] This alliance was short-lived, however, and the Madiyankobe (followers of the Mahdi) returned to Futa Toro, where they found Ouro-Madiou burned by a force of French and Torodbe.[2] Amadou's relationship with Lat Jor had continued to sour as the Damel signed a treaty with the French and supported his cousin Alboury in his guerilla war in Jolof.
