Editing Sheikh (section)

===Maghreb===
In the [[Maghreb]], during the [[Almohad]] dynasty, the caliph was also counseled by a body of sheikhs. They represented all the different tribes under their rules, including [[Arabs]], ([[Bedouins]]), [[al-Andalus|Andalusians]] and [[Berbers]] and were also responsible for mobilizing their kinsmen in the event of war.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TpjwF--kPL4C&q=almohad+organization&pg=PA29|title=Africa from the Twelfth to the Sixteenth Century|first1=Djibril Tamsir|last1=Niane|first2=Unesco International Scientific Committee for the Drafting of a General History of|last2=Africa|date=1 January 1984|publisher=UNESCO|access-date=19 February 2017|via=Google Books|isbn=978-92-3-101710-0}}</ref>
