Alleged statue of younger queen Ndatte Yala

of the kingdom of Waalo, who fought against French colonialism and Moorish invásion of her Kingdom in present day Senegal 🇸🇳 
Queen Ndate Yalla Mbodj, as a true ‘lingeer’, developed the women’s army as one of the most formidable forces to recon with in her reign. The story of this Senegambia Queen is best amplified in oral tradition by the local griots. Her women army was similar to the “Amazon” women army of Benin, Behanzin’s féarless protective women’s army. She later went into exile in Ndimb in the northern part of the Waalo and dièd in Dagana, where today a statue has been erected in her honor
