Why Ibn Saud DESTROYED the WAHABI IKHWAN !! (Battle of Sabilla)

it was a real world experiment of's theories he cultivated asab amongst the bedos and he built desert camps known as H and this H he designed it in a way that there was no social hierarchy everybody was equal they were then sent from Al to teach them the de and to teach them also so these bins he cultivated them into a desert army he gave them a book and a structure and a purpose also so they became his army a military army whose objective was to do one thing and one thing only to spread the message of she Muhammad ABD wahab and so from 1912 his arm is mobilized and they without them he would not be with his quite frankly cuz they were fierce fierce Warriors very loyal to him and they had an ideology that the others didn't have the desert yeah Al and during the 60s and 70s a second emerged with jiman who was a descendant of the firstan but the original is thean of and they were very very very instrumental for him in fact as I said before without of these people I don't think he'd be able to get to where he where he got to so so how did he manage to like destroy them like good question influential good question is becoming more and more influential he clearly had the advantage in the peninsula and the British knew it which is why I said earlier on they paid him not to even conquer Mecca that's how much influence he had they actually paid him to hold off so it was very clear that I've got this I've got this in the bag now he was satisfied with that he only wanted that region he did not want anything beyond that region that was his that was his objective he had met it he was happy so when they gave him that title of the king of that region he was happy he was content and he was ready now to build a society to build his kingdom to cultivate the fighting is over it's time for diplomacy he began to deal with Al saah even the sheriff the Sherif at Family he began to deal with them but his army was unhappy because they began to accuse him of being what somebody who's soft and they began to say he's permissive he doesn't push for the dawa to extend beyond the region of Saudi Arabia the time was known as uh the hijaz is not pushing for it to go beyond this whereas he is actually obliged to do that we need to move into the region of Iran we need to move into the regions above Kuwait and katab these regions where there are people who are not Upon Our dawa we need to move in there and spread the dean and spread the da you had Farmers Shepherds in those bordering regions which at that time following World War I came under British protectorates they were under the British but these Farmers these normad were just man their own business cattle grazing and thean was slaughtering them because what's your a I can't I'm not making this up literally I'm not making this up they would encounter these people in desert and ask them what the AA is what do you believe if had a problem in his hands he had to cons he had to restrain these people his army from causing him problems with the British but they defied him more than once so it came to a point where it took him to the Council of to have mediation and he agreed to do certain things with them for example he's not going to speak to the uh because he was speaking to the British in fact he sent his sons to Britain to study in Britain faed in Britain as a child right he spent time in Britain and many other sons and he was also importing Western ideas and Western goods and Western Products into the Kingdom so the arm is looking at this thinking this is completely against what we agreed in the beginning right and furthermore you're not you're not continuing the job of spreading the da so they took him to the Council of and they had an agreement the agreement was I am still your Amir I am still the you ought to obey me you can't cannot disobey me he insisted you have to obey me and if you do so I I will also concede the certain demands that you're making Unfortunately they renaged on those promises and continued to attack so it took them a second round of mediation but this time they were more daring and they began to accuse him of not being on the right manh and not doing the right things and uh working of kufar they were more daring and he could see that I'm losing a grip here I'm losing a grip but to his credit he still tried to work with them he really did try to appease them but they did not stop so after that second they went again and they began to attack now the British said listen you can't control your guys we're coming in because we're not going to lose our interest in KU and Qatar in these regions because of you if you can't control your guys we're coming in so in 1926 faced with no other alternative and I'm not going to advocate for him here I'm just saying face of no diplomatic alternative he called the British okay so at this point thean were known as the scholars gave the fat finally Halal means your blood is halal F was given and so the the uh they met and in 1929 on March the 30th the aan arrived and they were shocked because what they saw was not another Army like them what did they see British artillery mhm do you know how long the battle lasted remember these guys spent 30 years the better part of 30 years fighting alongside they helped him build what he had do you know how long this battle took give me guesses give me guesses give me give me an estimate one day one week give me an estimate four hours two two hours how's a day I want I hour okay 1 Hour 1 hour yeah 1 hour aial bombing aial the British just sent an aerial strike Halas everything is done wow that's wow so the War lasted 1 hour yeah 1 hour and thean were basically these are known as the oldan the ogs effectively they they went out and the leading figures went to hiding but they died later on disease one was captured and was executed some of the women and the children who were captured because remember they lived in a they lived in h in desert encampments they didn't live in the society and they refused to integrate in society when was building so they refused they remained in the desert in the so what he did was he built for them like you could say complex they were receiving uh they were receiving uh State funds women and children being rehabilitated some of the young men who were alive were taken in under his army the white God so he didn't just demolish everything those who survived he took them in under his army and effectively repurposed them but these camps that he left later on a new generation ofan who were born one amongst
