Sabach Sanjal

The capital of Sabach (or Sabakh) was Koumbidia and that of Sanjal (or Sandial) was Kataba. Both were ruled by the Camara family.^[1]

In 1862 during the Soninke-Marabout wars Sambou Oumanneh Touray, a disciple of Maba Diakhou Bâ, defeated and killed the traditional rulers Fara Sabakh and Fara Sandial, joined the two countries together and ruled it as an Islamic state.^[2][3]

In the local government reforms of 1996, Sabach Sanjal was created out of the former district of Upper Baddibu, along with Illiasa^[4]
