Lamta / Lemtouna / Gudala and Massufa , the south of Souss was mentioned as land of the Almoravids by the Almohads themselves

The fate of the Almoravids :

14th century historian Ibn Khaldun describes the situation of the Almoravid tribes after the fall of Banu Ghaniya , the last Almoravid emirs in 1226 and the total extinction of their rule which began in 1040 :

" What is today left of them in the Maghreb is but a few of Massufa and Lemtouna scattered around , part of whom were incorporated by the Almohads , and other parts were absorbed by the vastness . As for those in their home in the desert they remain today as they began , in constant conflict and discord . They now give allegiance to the Sultan of the blacks ( Mali ) which uses them in his wars and taxes them , their territories connect with those of the Arabs , as for Gudala their territory faces that of Dhawi Hassan the Arabs of Souss al Akssa , as for Wenziga and Lemtouna their territory faces that of Dhawi Mansur of Maghrib al Aksa ( Draa and Mhamid al Ghuzlan ) as for Massufa their territory faces that of Zughba in the Maghrib al Awsat , as for Lamta their territory faces Riyah of the Zab , as for Targa their territories face those of Sulaym in Ifriqiya "

After some years from these current periods these tribe would unite and invade Mali , as 14th century traveler ibn Battuta states in his book

Terga and Lamta would go on to form the modern Tuaregs with Lamta mainly being the kings of Azawad

Massufa would form tribes of the modern Ait Atta and Eastern Souss tribes especially those in the Draa river
( Ait Wallal ) and the Merzouga region ( Ait Khabbash )

Guddala , Lemtuna and Wenziga would form the modern tribes of Oued Noun and Southern Souss and like : Tekna / Mejjat / Harbil / Ait Baamran / Ait Ali and additionally the Ait Alwan of Ait Atta and Saharian tribes of the Zagura region like Insoula , additionally some fractions of these tribes would gradually migrate south and reach what is today's Mauritania and Azawad
