The Tajakant (also Tadjakant) is a Sahrawi tribe of Berber Sanhaja origins. They speak Hassaniya Arabic. The Tajakant mainly live in Mauritania, Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria, and Mali. They are Muslims, adhering to the Maliki school of Sunni Islam. The Tajakant tribe descended from the tribe of Lamtuna, a fraction of the powerful tribe of Sanhadja in the Mauritanian Adrar. They became sedentary during the ninth century, at the fall of the Almoravid empire and founded two cities, Tinigui and Togba, located between Chinguetti and Ouadane, but since disappeared.

  • The Tajakant (also Tadjakant) is a Sahrawi tribe of Berber Sanhaja origins. They speak Hassaniya Arabic. The Tajakant mainly live in Mauritania, Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria, and Mali. They are Muslims, adhering to the Maliki school of Sunni Islam. The Tajakant tribe descended from the tribe of Lamtuna, a fraction of the powerful tribe of Sanhadja in the Mauritanian Adrar. They became sedentary during the ninth century, at the fall of the Almoravid empire and founded two cities, Tinigui and Togba, located between Chinguetti and Ouadane, but since disappeared. The Tajakant were known as traders and warriors, and held a strong position in the trans-Saharan trade between Belad Asudan (Sub-Saharan Africa) and Morocco. In 1852, Tajakant tribesmen founded a settlement and trading post in the oasis of Tindouf, in what is now Algeria. They were engaged in a lengthy war against the Reguibat and Kunta in the 19th c., their allies in this war were the Senhaja. This culminated in 1895 where the settlement of Tindouf was attacked and sacked by a raiding party of Reguibat tribesmen. Tindouf was destroyed, and most of the northern Tajakant wiped out; some populations remain in Morocco, Western Sahara and a few in Mauritania, where their members have gained importance as religious scholars. Today's Tajakant are said to be sedentary, and engaged in small-scale trading and farming they mainly live in Morocco and the Moroccan administered territory of Western Sahara. They are one of the strongest proponents of the Moroccan claims on the territory, this might be due to their historical feud with the Rguibat. A few live in Algeria, Mauritania and Mali. (en)

  • De Tajakant (ook Tadjakant) zijn een Sahrawi-Moorse stam van Arabisch-Berberse afkomst en spreken het Hassaniya Arabisch. Ze leefden van oudsher in het zuidwesten van Algerije, Mauritanië, Marokko en de Westelijke Sahara.Het zijn moslims, behorend tot de Maliki school van de soennitische islam.Sommige bronnen beweren dat ze afstammelingen zijn van de Berberse Lamtuna stam. De Tajakant stonden bekend als handelaren en krijgers en hadden een sterke positie in de trans-Sahara handel tussen Belad Asudan (sub-Sahara Afrika) en Marokko.In 1852 stichtten de Tajakant stamleden een nederzetting en handelspost in de oase van Tindouf, wat tegenwoordig in Algerije ligt.Ze waren verwikkeld in een langdurige stammenoorlog tegen de Reguibat en de Kunta in de 19e eeuw, hun bondgenoten in deze oorlog waren de Senhaja.Dit eindigde in 1895 toen de nederzetting van Tindouf werd aangevallen en geplunderd door een bende van Reguibat stamleden.Tindouf werd vernietigd en de meesten van de noordelijke Tajakant werden weggevaagd, sommige populaties verblijven in Marokko, de Westelijke Sahara en een aantal in Mauritanië, waar deze stamleden belang hebben opgedaan als religieuze geleerden. Tegenwoordig zijn de meesten Tajakant sedentair en houden ze zich bezig met kleinschalige handel en landbouw.Ze leven voornamelijk in Marokko en in het door Marokko bestuurde Westelijke Sahara.Het zijn een van de grootste voorstanders van de Marokkaanse vorderingen op het grondgebied, dit kan te wijten zijn aan hun historische vete met de Reguibat.Een paar stamleden wonen in Algerije, Mauritanië en Mali.
