The Ṣanhāja Camel Cavalry are the camel and light-horse riders of the Saharan Ṣanhāja — the Lamtūna and the Masūfa, veiled men whose fathers built an empire reaching from the Senegal to the Ebro. That day is past. The century turns against them, and the dynasties rising now are Zanata and Masmuda. What has not changed is the desert, which they still cross as no one else can: their camels carry them over distances no horse cavalry can attempt, and their light-spear charge is a Maghrebi answer to the heavy lance of the Iberian and Sahelian powers. This Ṣanhāja desert-cavalry tradition gives our armies an unmatched logistical and maneuver reach across the southern frontier.
