General Description The Kingdom of Sine was a Sereer kingdom that originated in the 1350s CE. [1] The Kingdom of Sine had been a part of the confederation of the Jolof Empire but became independent in the mid-sixteenth century after the breakup of the Jolof Empire. After its independence, the Kingdom of Sine established its capital at Diakhao. [2] The Kingdom of Sine was a monarchy ruling over a complex stratified society. [1] Like its Sereer neighbours, the Kingdom of Saloum, the Sine also participated in the food trade with the Dutch, French and the British. [2] In 1887 CE, the Kingdom of Sine officially became a French protectorate ending the Kingdoms’ reign. [3]
