Sultanate of Abumiya

The Sultanate of Abumiya was a state in western Saharal that existed from the late middle period into the late modern period in various forms.

The original Sultanate fell during the Nusafi Revolution but was restored under the influence of the Abouzeidi Kingdom. Contemporary writers do not usually refer to this state by the same name, generally using the term "Abouzeidi Abumiya" or more formally the Abouzeidi Sultanate of Abumiya. In this incarnation, the state was much smaller and lacked any political autonomy being essentially a puppet state of the Abouzeidis.

Nonetheless, the Sultanate was restored with the military support of both the Abouzeidi Kingdom and the Kingdom of Jazara. Once again though it was overthrown in the Second Nusafi Revolution, this time permanently. The territory of the Sultanate comprises most of the modern state of Abumiya, a member of the Nusafi Confederation. Prior to the Nusafi Wars, it was the centre of the Nusafi Republic.
