Mö Mboj Maalik Mboj
Who is Mö Mboj Maalik Mboj?
Mö Mboj Maalik Mboj was the last King of Waalo prior to its fall to the French in 1855. The pre-colonial Kingdom of Waalo now lies within modern-day Senegal. The military conquest of Waalo in 1855 under Lingeer Ndate Yalla and her husband Tassé was one of many expeditions by the French colonialists in Senegambia but more so in Senegal. Moorish intervention in the political affairs of the Wolof Kingdom of Waalo propelled French military intervention, which led to the collapse of the royal dynasty and the disestablishment of the country. The conquered Kingdom of Waalo was by 1855, under French rule. Mö Mboj Maalik Mboj succeeded to the throne as Brak, ruling from 1840 to 1855. On his paternal line, he was a member of the reigning Mboj paternal dynasty of Waalo. On his maternal line, he partains to the Loggar matriclan. The Loggars were one of the three reigning maternal dynasties of Waalo, the other two being Joos and Tedyek.
