Who were the Almoravids? Why did they invade Ghana? What were the consequences for Ghana Empire of that invasion? • The word ‘Almoravid” is derived from the Arabic Al-Murabitin which means ‘people of the monastery’. It is used to describe a fanatical sect of Muslims which sprang up in the north western region of the Western Africa in the eleventh century. • In my previous video, The rise and fall of the Ghana Empire. I pointed out that the Almoravids were the major external factors that contributed to the fall of Ancient Ghana Empire. • If you have not come across the Trans-Saharan trade and the ancient Ghana empires accounts, the Almoravids impact might not make sense to you. • The good news is that this channel already has videos on the aforementioned, check the channel page to watch the Trans-Saharan Trade and the Rise and fall of Ghana Empire. • Follow the link below to watch the trans-Saharan trade • • The Trans - Saharan Trade • Follow the link below to watch The Rise and Fall of the Ghana Empire • • The Rise and Fall of the Ghana Empire
