bias against the <a href="/wiki/Hausa_people" title="Hausa people">Hausawa</a>. The revolt was led by Mallam <b>Abd al-Salam</b>, a Hausa scholar who had been among the leaders of the <a href="/wiki/Sokoto_Revolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Sokoto Revolution">Sokoto Revolution</a> that led to the establishment of the caliphate. As time went on, he grew disillusioned with the rewards he received compared to other leaders, many of whom were of <a href="/wiki/Fula_people" title="Fula people">Fulbe</a> ethnicity.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 221">: 221 </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 65–70">: 65–70 </span></sup> </p><p>This revolt gained momentum during the rule of <a href="/wiki/Muhammad_Bello" class="mw-redirect" title="Muhammad Bello">Sultan Muhammad Bello</a>, the second <a href="/wiki/List_of_sultans_of_Sokoto" title="List of sultans of Sokoto">Sultan of the Sokoto Caliphate</a>, but its roots go back before the death of <a href="/wiki/Usman_dan_Fodio" title="Usman dan Fodio">Usman dan Fodio</a>, the founder and spiritual leader of the caliphate. Abd al-Salam's discontent with the perceived preferential treatment of the Fulbe leaders and his sense of being inadequately rewarded led him to spearhead this rebellion against the Caliphate's authority.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 221">: 221 </span></sup> </p><p>Abd al-Salam's rebellion found support primarily among the <a href="/wiki/Hausa_people" title="Hausa people">Hausa people</a> who shared his grievances of unfair treatment under the <a href="/wiki/Sokoto_Caliphate" title="Sokoto Caliphate">Sokoto Caliphate</a>. Many of his followers and fellow rebels belonged to the Hausa ethnic group, and they too felt marginalized and disadvantaged within the caliphate's administration. Additionally, the ranks of the Hausa rebels included individuals who had previously formed the aristocracy of the <a href="/wiki/Hausa_Kingdoms" title="Hausa Kingdoms">Hausa kingdoms</a> before the establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate. Fleeing their lands to escape the authority of the caliphate, these rebels joined Abd al-Salam's revolt, seeking to challenge the dominance of the Fulbe leaders and regain their autonomy.

The situation was further aggravated when Abd al-Salam's forces, joined by the former emir of <a href="/wiki/Konni_(Hausa_state)" title="Konni (Hausa state)">Konni</a>'s men, conducted raids and looted several <a href="/wiki/Fulani" class="mw-redirect" title="Fulani">Fulani</a> villages and towns. In response to these developments, Sultan Bello received intelligence that Abd al-Salam had officially declared a <i>tawaye</i> (revolt or rebellion in <a href="/wiki/Hausa_language" title="Hausa language">Hausa</a>) and sent messages to various enemies of <a href="/wiki/Sokoto_Caliphate" title="Sokoto Caliphate">Sokoto</a>.

In the first letter to Abd al-Salam, Bello offered a peace deal, suggesting that if Abd al-Salam accepted it, he could choose any land in <a href="/wiki/Zamfara_State" title="Zamfara State">Zamfara</a>, away from Sokoto, and live peacefully with minimal interference. However, Bello warned that if the peace offer was rejected he should know that "the sin of those with you and of those with us regarding what happens is upon you."<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The second letter, addressed to Abd al-Salam's son, reiterated the peace offer and emphasized that the conflict was not with him or his family.

He warned that if Abd al-Salam did not move away from Sokoto's vicinity, Bello's army would invade, and he advised them to emigrate with their families. However, Bello assured them that if Abd al-Salam relocated, he would not interfere with his activities.

Sultan Bello, in response, sent an army to <a href="/wiki/Kware" title="Kware">Kware</a> to confront Abd al-Salam's forces, but they suffered defeat. However, Bello's subsequent strategy of sending effective raiding parties in November 1817 began to take its toll on Abd al-Salam's large army. As the raids continued, Abd al-Salam became cautious and refrained from sending any counter-raids, fearing a potential trap. Seeing an opportunity for reconciliation, leading figures from Abd al-Salam's community reached out to Sultan Bello with the intention of establishing a peaceful resolution. However, Bello rejected their offer, asserting that his desire was solely for reconciliation.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 68–69">: 68–69 </span></sup> </p><p>On 10 December 1817, Bello's raiding parties completely stopped, followed by a large-scale ambush on 29 December.

Gathering their strength, they launched an attack on Kware on 5 January 1818. Despite facing overwhelming odds, Bello's army achieved a swift and resounding victory over Abd al-Salam's forces, securing the town swiftly.
