The Genoese rent a part of their fleet to the rebels who successfully resist the forces of the caliph.^[1] The consequences of this revolt are threefold: the city becomes de facto independent from the Almohads, but its reliance on the Italian maritime powers increases and the trans-Saharan trade routes begin to shift eastward due to the local turmoil.
