Ibrahim Kura of Borno

Ibrahim bin Umar al-Kanemi, called Ibrahim Kura, was the shehu (ruler) of the Kanem–Bornu Empire in 1884–1885 or 1885–1886. Ibrahim seized the throne in a coup d'état after the death of his brother, Bukar Kura, and his short one-year reign was a time of uninterrupted political and economic crisis.

Accession Ibrahim Kura was a brother of his predecessor, shehu Bukar Kura (r. 1881–1884/1885), and a son of the former shehu Umar Kura (r. 1837–1853; 1854–1881). Bukar Kura died prematurely and unexpectedly at some point between November 1884 and February/March 1885. He was the father of the two later shehus Sanda Kura and Abubakar Garbai.
