It leads to Proceduralists analyzing the question: how does the sacrality of violence confer particular political legitimacy on “Baraka and Karama”? the study suggests answering this question by analyzing two interrelated levels: how the violence of the holy man can be embodied. The power of the righteous man to monopolize violence by “Tazuba” indicates the most marked aspect of violence sacrality. On the other side, the study is looking forward to interviewing the political stakes concerning the transition from a world of peace to a world of violence; thus, to the spiritual activities of the political field within the practices of the holy man.

Three gateways are used by the author: (a) wartime, (b) the mechanisms generating military leadership, and (c) the notion of the “Ghazi” (warrior-raider) in Baidhani (Sahrawi) lore. The author points to an overlap of war with the essence of tribal function, revealing different elements in the features of war in the emirate and the tribe. War, explains the author, is sometimes determined by the semi-centralized political nature of the emirate, which allows for the emanation of war from the central figure of the Emir and the tribes falling under his emirate, as distinct from war in tribal society, inclusive of the coastlands and lands of the interior basin, in which a social-political war footing is maintained without becoming embodied by a central political formula. An anthropological reading of historical references (critical readings and classifications of local resources) distinguishes war from other related phenomena such as looting, banditry and highway robbery, between which an essential boundary is determined by a set of elements expressed in a certain pattern, or social style, and via looting practices that are not regulated, institutionalized, or arbitrated in the way that war is, with the convening of a council of tribal elders issuing decisions and appointing a “warrior leader”.
