Highlight five features of the Temne traditional political system
​

Explanation:

Temne society is patrilineal. It has featured a decentralized political system with village chiefs and an endogamous hierarchical social stratification. The Temne were one of the ethnic groups that were victims of slave capture and trading across the sub-Saharan and across the Atlantic into European colonies.

Explanation:

The Temne people, also called Time, Temen, Timni or Timmanee people, are an West African ethnic group. They are predominantly found in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone, as well as the national capital Freetown. Some Temne are also found in Guinea. The Temne constitute the largest ethnic group in Sierra Leone, at 35% of the total population, which is slightly more than the Mende people at 31%. They speak Temne, a Mel branch of the Niger–Congo languages.

The Temne people originated from the Futa Djallon region of Guinea, who left their original settlements to escape Fulani invasions in the 15th century, and migrated south before settling between the Kolenté and Rokel River area of Sierra Leone. They initially practiced a traditional religion before Islam was adopted through contact with Muslim traders from neighboring ethnic groups, with most Temne having converted over time. During the colonial era, some converted to Christianity. Some have continued with their traditional religion.
