History
Medieval Arab geographers generally divided the Sous region into two distinct sub-regions: as-Sūs al-Aqṣā (Script error: No such module "Lang". 'the far Sus'), and as-Sūs al-Adnā (Script error: No such module "Lang". 'the near Sus').[1][2][3] Sus al-Aqsa consisted of the southern/western part, and Sus al-Adna consisted of the northern/eastern part; however, there were never any precise boundaries between the two.[3] The capital of the Sous was at Igli.[4] There was also a ribat at Massa near the Atlantic coast.[4]
Around 683, Uqba ibn Nafi conquered the Sous region, but after his death in 688 his conquests in Morocco slipped out of Muslim control.[4] The Sous was reconquered around 20 years later by Musa ibn Nusayr, who began the spread of Islam among the local population.[4]
