In this episode, Lucas tells Luna about the Abid al-Bukhari, the slave army that Moulay Isma'il built in late 17th-century Morocco. We follow how Isma'il, after securing his throne, sent traders deep into the Sahel to buy thousands of black slaves, especially from Timbuktu and the Songhai lands. Lucas explains how these soldiers were housed in a vast camp called Mechouar, trained from boyhood, and bound directly to the sultan through a personal oath on the Sahih al-Bukhari. They became the backbone of his power, crushing revolts from the Atlas Mountains to the Atlantic coast. But we also discuss the cost: the kidnapping, the forced conversion, the brutal discipline, and how later sultans lost control of the guard, leading to chaos. Specific names include Moulay Isma'il, the abid, the Makhzen, and the chronicler al-Naciri. This is a tough, honest look at a controversial institution that shaped Morocco for centuries. #AbidalBukhari #MoulayIsmail #BlackGuard #Morocco #Sahel #SlaveSoldiers #Makhzen #Alaouite #Timbuktu #Mechouar #alNaciri #17thCentury #MilitarySlavery #Marrakech #NorthAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #Murabitun Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
