How did Lat Sukaabé Faal economically and militarily ensure his position as king? * The militarily way Before Lat Sukaabé Faal started to govern there was an unavoidable rule in Senegal that said that a person who wasn’t in a garmi family, in both sides. But only Lat Sukaabé Faal’s father was in a garmi family, but he became king thanks to his brother according to Jogomay Jeey when the the teen yassin died, all his kids competed to know who will be the one to access to the throne. During a short time Cembel one of them managed to be elected. Therefore his two others brothers attacked kim and killed him during the fight of Xarnana. After this event Lat Sukaabé Faal became king because Biram Kodu and Lat Kodu couldn’t reign because of their injuries. When he became king Lat Sukaabé benefited of a large quantity of guns because, first of all as Tanor Lat Sukaabé fall slipped out: Ce Ndela in 1935 perceived that guns would be an advantage for him to be powerful however they refused because of their doubt on his position and that they wanted to keep them in case if they would be a possible fight between the Senegalese and the French. But during the reign of Lat Sukaabé France being in a good position accepted and then furnished the kings in the north with guns to fight against the marabout’s army in 1673. In 1674 Nasir ad-Din the marabout’s leader died in battle. The army of Lat Sukaabé was in fact constituted of slaves. (Rokhaya fall,1974) stated that It is when he received guns that everything changed because nobody had the bravery to be against him. He used the slaves named the fekk bayyi in whom he trusted ,and then created a bloodthirsty, alcoholic redoubtable army of people. With this army he was finally the king of Kajoor and Bawol as Amari Ngoné Sobel and then could enslave or kill all his opponents who were in garmi families. * The economical way At the beginning when French arrived in Caribbean they first started to grow on small farms tobacco, cotton etc but when they realized that it didn’t yield enough benefits they decided to grow sugar on large farms around 1640. From now the tubaabs stopped to work with farmers and started to use enslaved people to do the job to have more benefits. This period was called the Sugar revolution because tubaabs started to import a very large amount of slaves to exclusively work in the sugar plantations (1). With the market of sugar being more and more profitable because of the utilization of slave the demand of slave was still high for both countries England and France. And we can observe that the peak years of Atlantic trade came with arrival of Lat Sukaabé Faal which prove that with all the slaves that he was selling, he gained a lot of money. This is why (rokhaya fall 1974) highlighted the fact that at this period the kingship was very rich however we couldn’t say the same for the population who was suffering from starvation. During this period France realized the importance of the slaves so to keep the market they tried to install the law that Lat Sukaabé couldn’t no more trade with England. But Lat Sukaabé realized that it would be profitable for him so he didn’t noticed this law and continue to trade with the consumers when the French wanted him to stop, the dammel teen show them that he was in a strong posture and that he was totally controlled by them by putting Brue in prison(2)
