Khormans
The Khormans were a local tribe in Wadi Ajal, Fezzan, and were likely of Garamantes descent. In 1300, they established a dynasty with Garma as their capital, after a successful rebellion against the Kanem empire.[1]
Campaign against the Kanem
In 1320, the Khormans raged a deadly war against the Kanem empire and their vassals in the region.[2] And defeated them in Battle of Tafnidilt. This war resorted in brutal losses for the Kanem and the loss of all territory in Fezzan and north-west Aouzou strip.
Conquest of Ghadames
Some time after their war with Kanem,in 1330 the Khormans led a large campaign against Ghadames. Some Arab sources[3] suggest Hafsid involvement, but no clear sources suggest that they were able to capture Ghadames.
