Conflicts with the Shilluk to the south continued, but later the two were forced into an uneasy alliance to combat the growing might of the Dinka.
Under Sultan Badi II, Sennar defeated the Kingdom of Taqali to the west and made its ruler (styled Woster or Makk) its vassal.
The armies of Sennar relied most on heavy cavalry: horsemen drawn from the nobility, armed with long broadswords as the toe stirrups they used did not permit the use of lances.

The razzia soon became an annual event, yielding thousands of slaves to be sent to Egypt by the officials who often subjected them to sadistic abuses and brutal atrocities similar to those that have been reported by the Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International in the contemporary Sudan.
In Kordofan at Taqali alone, five thousand slaves were seized in 1839.
In 1854 the Egyptian viceroy, Muhammad Sa'id, succumbed to European pressure and abolished the government slave raids, but his decree was studiously ignored by private traders in the Sudan.

In December 1997, the Malta Football Association (MFA) and the Maltese Government signed an agreement transferring the ownership of the national stadium in TaQali to the MFA until 2046.
Since the east stand was in a serious state of disrepair, it was demolished and replaced by a new construction with a 5,000 capacity.
All these facilities are available for hire by outside parties and together with the adjoining technical centre (with playing surfaces, fitness studio, medical clinic, conference room, accommodation and restaurant), the MFA now has a football infrastructure to be proud of.

 UW Press - : Soldiers, Traders, and Slaves: State Formation and Economic Transformation in the Greater Nile Valley, ...
In the Nuba Hills, on the frontiers of the Islamic Sudan, a dynasty of Muslim warrior kings arose in the eighteenth century.
Their kingdom, Taqali, survived as an independent state, resisting conquest by larger empires, and coming under external control only during the twentieth century.
Ewald shows how events originating far beyond the Taqali massif allowed local Muslim soldiers to become kings of the Taqali in the eighteenth century and then to hold on to their power.

 The Head Heeb: Slavery in the Sudan: The Burden of the Past
From the eighteenth century onwards, state power in the region increasingly rested on ‘standing armies of slave soldiers, drawn from the pagan peripheries, [and] free Muslim peasants and nomads often found themselves coerced by high-ranking military slaves in the name of a Muslim sovereign’.
He goes one to add Being a ‘slave’ then was no necessary bar to having influence and power, not only through military but also economic means; as the title of a book on the Taqali kingdom puts it, many of these people were simultaneously ‘Soldiers,Traders and Slaves’.
There are some dangers in being overeager to seek a simple mapping of past identities and relationships into the present and vice a versa.

 RAF Luqa at AllExperts
Particularly from 1941 to 1943, RAF Luqa was a very important base for British Commonwealth forces fighting against Italy and Germany for naval control of the Mediterranean and for ground control of North Africa.
Air combat over and near Malta was some of the most ferocious of the war, and a series of airfields were built on the small, rocky island: at Luqa, TaQali, and HalFar, plus satellite fields at Safi, Qrendi and on Malta's second island of Gozo.
After the war, Luqa remained an important RAF base, but also served as Malta's main civilian airport.
