POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF THE 2ND KANEM-BORNO EMPIRE

There is not much difference in the administration of the kingdom under Idris’s reign with that of the first Kanem-Borno Empire.

This is because the central administration was still made up of mais and the council of twelve, selected from the royal family.

The system of government was still monarchical and autocratic in nature. The revenue of the government was still based on taxes and tribute.
