Mö Mboj Maalik Mboj
Mö Mboj Maalik Mboj (var : Mö Mbody Maalik
Mboj was a member of the reigning paternal dynasty of Waalo on his father's side. On his maternal line, he was a part of the Loggar matriclan.[1]: 265 The Loggars (of Moorish/Maure origin[1]: 73 ) were one of the three reigning maternal dynasties of Waalo, the other two being Joos[4] (of Serer origin[1]: 73 via Lingeer Ndoye Demba, founded in the 14th century) and Tedyek[5] (of Fula origin[1]: 73 ).
During Mbodj's rein, Waalo was relatively weak, caught between the
Trarza Emirate and the French based in Saint-Louis. Lingeer Ndaté Yalla Mbodj was a major power in the kingdom as well. In 1855 the French, after years of encroaching on the country, invaded and conquered Waalo, overthrowing the royal family.[1]
