Kyari or Khair bin Bukhar al-Kanemi (?-1894) was Shehu of Borno in 1893–1894.
Kyari became the Shehu of Borno in 1893 when the country was invaded by Rabih az-Zubayr.
One of his first acts was to kill his predecessor and uncle, Ashimi of Borno.
[1] He attempted to reconquer Kukawa, which was already occupied by Rabih az-Zubayr but he was captured during the battle.
According to oral tradition, his last words for Rabih were Tell this giant of a slave that if I had captured him I would not have asked him anything, I would have killed him on the spot.
