Abstract | Louis Mizon, a Lieutenant of the French Navy, assisted the Emir of Muri, Muhammadu Nya, in conquering the Jukun of Kona in 1892 in an attempt to expand the influence of France in the region of the Benue river. The Emir had besieged Kona in vain for six years, but with the superior military technology at Mizon's disposal, the town was subjugated. It was a traumatic event which is preserved in the oral traditions of the Jukun until today. The essay presents an oral text recorded in 1996, placing it in the historical context and offering interpretations. C’est grâce à Louis Mizon un lieutenant de la Marine française que Muhammadu Nya, Emir de Muri a conquis les Jukun de Kona en 1892. Ainsi réussit-il à étendre l’influence de la France dans la région du fleuve Bénoué. L’Emir qui six ans auparavant avait tenté sans succès de s’emparer de Kona, en vint enfin à bout grâce aux moyens militaires et techniques mis à sa disposition par Mizon. Cela fut un événement traumatique dont on se souviendra encore à travers la tradition orale des Jukun. Cet exposé présente un texte oral recueilli en 1996, qui replace l’événement dans son contexte historique et en donne une interprétation. Unterstützt vom französischen Marineleutnant Louis Mizon gelang es dem Muhammadu Nya, Emir von Muri, die Jukun von Kona zu erobern. Mizon versuchte auf diesem Wege den französischen Einfluss in der Region des Benue-Flusses auszudehnen. Der Emir hatte sechs Jahre zuvor vergeblich versucht, Kona einzunehmen, aber mit Mizons überlegener Militärtechnologie wurde die Stadt nun endgültig unterworfen. Dies war ein traumatisches Ereignis, das in der oralen Tradition der Jukun bis heute erinnert wird. Der Aufsatz präsentiert einen 1996 aufgezeichneten oralen Text, der in den historischen Zusammen gestellt und erläutert ist. |
