[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] Now this is an article that YOU recommended, the evidence presented in the article suggests that the knowledge of the "Sudanese" in statecraft and also trans-Saharan trade made people dependent on the Sudanese themselves. Thus we have Muslims having debates about Muslims being dependent on PAGAN kings. Of course mercenaries are important but this is one of many factors. "Islam and Trade in the Bilad Al-Sudan, Tenth-Eleventh Century A.D." by Michael Brett see pages 7 and 8 http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/~amcdouga/Hist446/readings/islam_and_trade_brett.pdf Also the early Muslim conquerers were very dependent on so called "Nubians" but they were also dependent on trade too. If this was all purely about military strength they would both still be equally dependent on trade with each other and so merchants on both sides would have equal rights. [/QB][/QUOTE]
