Battle between France and Rabih az-Zubayr's empire

The battle of Kousséri was a major engagement fought between France and the forces of the warlord Rabih az-Zubayr in the Rabih War.

In 1899–1900, the French organized three armed columns, one proceeding north from Congo, one east from Niger and another south from Algeria.
