Résumé
The kingdom of Zāfūn was probably situated in the southern Sahel, between the Senegal river and the ruins of Koumbi Saleh. It became independent in 1076 A.D., after the Almoravids had conquered Ghana. Its flourishing started in the second quarter of the 12th century, when the king succeeded in dominating several nomadic Berbers in the western Sahara, who were part of the confederation of the Almoravids. In this period an important commercial route between western Sudan and the western Maghrib was realised. In 1150 the domination of the king of Zāfūn over the petty black states of the western Sudan ceased and the kings of Ghana overpowered Zāfūn again (Catalogue African Studies Centre in Leiden).
