Biography
Bintu Sanankua was born on January 11, 1943 in the Maasin region (now the territory of the Mopti region ), a colony of French Sudan . In 1952 she was sent to study at the Mopti Regional School ( Fr. École Régionale de Mopti ), which she graduated in 1958. At the age of 15, she moved to the administrative center of the colony, Bamako, where she continued her studies at the Catholic Lyceum of Notre Dame (now the Lyceum of Notre Dame du Nijser, Fr. Collège Notre Dame du Niger ). In June 1961, when Mali became an independent state, Bintu Sanankua completed her studies at a lyceum and received a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Mali. The following year, in 1962, Bintou Sanankua entered the recently acquired a new name of the Lyceum “Askia Mohamed” ( fr. Lycée Askia Mohamed ), founded in 1923 and formerly known as the Lyceum Terrason du Fougeres. Sanankua wrote about that time:
| I belonged to the active youth of the sixties, who demanded independence and believed in the future of the African continent. I fought in the ranks of the Malian student youth. With hundreds of young Malians, I mourned the murder of Patrice Lumumba on the streets of Bamako, where we went to expose this heinous crime committed by imperialism. We took part in demonstrations in support of the liberation war of Algeria and rejoiced in his victory. We welcomed the birth of the OAU . We applauded Ben Bella and Hassan Il when they settled the border conflict of their countries in the negotiations in Bamako. We took to the streets of Bamako after the fall of President Kwame Nkrumah to once again expose imperialism. We participated in a demonstration against American bombing and war imposed on the brave people of Vietnam. I belonged to the category of Malian youth who seriously wondered about the real revolution [1] . |
After graduating from the Lyceum in 1965, Sanankua entered the Higher Normal School in Bamako ( fr. Ecole Normale Supérieure de Bamako ), which she graduated in June 1969, receiving a diploma in history and geography. In the same year, she began teaching in the high schools of Mali, and then Niger and Cameroon . While working in Cameroon in 1974, Sanankua continued her education at the University of Yaoundé and in June 1975 received a degree in history. In 1976, Bintu Sanaka returned to Mali and in 1977 became an assistant at the Department of History and Geography of the Higher Normal School of Engineers in Bamako ( fr. ENSUP ). This gave her the opportunity in 1979 to go to study in Paris, at the Sorbonne , where in November 1982 she completed her Ph.D. of 3rd level and became a Ph.D. in history. In the same 1982, Bintu Sanankua returned to Mali and has since taught at the Higher Normal School of Bamako as a professor of history in the department of history and geography [2] .
In July 1987, Professor Ibrahim Baba Kake invited Sanakua to refer to the recent history of Mali, in particular to the events of 1968, and write a book for his pan-African publishing project [1]
Bintou Sanankua’s first known publication dates back to 1989 when she published a description of the exposition of ancient Arabic manuscripts in Bamako from November 1-6, 1988. The following year, her book The Fall of Modibo Keita was published in Paris, devoted to the events of November 1968 . At the same time, a monograph was published on the empire of the Fulbe Maasin, which existed in the 19th century and was located on the land where Sanankua was born. In 1991, she co-authored a work on Islamic education in Mali; in 1995, she participated in a work on a book about the ancient city of Jenna , a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the latest works by Bintou Sanankua is a book published in 2007 in Paris about the role of the UN in the development of regional integration of West African countries on the example of Mali.
Bintu Sanankua came to condemn the policy of the Azawad state, which was self-proclaimed in the north of Mali, the introduction of Sharia and the destruction of historical monuments. She supported the Serval military operation carried out by France in 2013 to restore the territorial integrity of Mali. In February 2013, in an interview with French journalist Dominique Golm from Le Monde magazine, she stated that the Malian state created in 1960 was virtually destroyed during the Islamic conquest and was saved by France from final destruction. Bintu Sanankua spoke in favor of a long-lasting French presence in Mali that would guarantee the country's recovery [3] .
