Talansan Talansan was the location of a battle in Futa Jallon , in what is now Guinea , in which Muslim forces were victorious . The battle was a key event in the " jihad " in which the Imamate of Futa Jallon was created . The " marabout " party was opposed by the established leaders of the region , who were resisting conversion to Islam . The battle of Talansan was a decisive victory for the " marabouts " . Talansan was a location to the east of Timbo on the banks of the Bafing River . According to tradition , a force of 99 Muslims defeated an infidel force ten times greater , killing many of their opponents . However , the struggle to convert the population continued to meet resistance , particularly from nomadic Fulbe herders . They rightly feared that the " marabouts " would use the religion to assert control over their lives . Most sources date the battle to around 1727 AD ( 1140 AH ) , at the start of the " jihad " . Others say the battle occurred in 1747 or 1748 , after many years of fighting for which the records have been lost . A passage of traditional Fula history published by a missionary society in 1876 supports the earlier date , saying the battle occurred at the start of the jihad , and that Alfa of Timbo ( Karamokho Alfa ) was made king after the victory and ruled for eighteen years .
