What do you think/know about the history of maghreb?
Carthage, moors-islamic empires, barbary pirats?
t. Curious Moroccan.
Carthage was a fascinating counter-pole of Rome
After destruction of this city Maghreb became a periphery

Pretty sure that the moorish empire were as strong and influent as Carthage, if not more.
My favorite dynasty, the Almohads.

I'm extremely dubious they controlled anything that far south.

The Almoravid are a saharian dynasty and they attacked Ghana, Niger, Senegal, Mali etc.
They're one of the main reason west africa is muslim IIRC.

Normans and Maghrebians were very good ennemies, the Normands fought them in Sicily and in North africa.
They even founded a kingdom in Africa that lasted few years!

Moroccans conquered the songhai empire and took important cities like Timbuktu and Gao but eventually had to leave because controlling territory over the sahara was a logistical nightmare

You're in the wrong timelaps buddy, the Almoravid conquest of central/west Africa is 500 years before this events.
A lot of things changed between this periods.
I keep forgetting who was more extreme, Almoravids or Almohads

Both were integrist religious groups. When the almoravids grew decadent, the new extremists Almohads replaced them by force.
