History
[edit | edit source]Touna was one of the headquarters of the Bambara resistance to the Toucouleur Empire. Warlords Kegue Mari (1862-70) and Nyenemba (1870-78) were both based in the area.[2] Resistance continued after the fall of Segou to the French in 1890. In February 1891, Lieutenant Hourst had led a small column against Touna.[3]
