Following the start of the [[Kandara|Great Slavers Bay Rebellion]], a similar call to arms led the Bedouins to unite under Ali Malik, becoming known as Malikites, a proto-communist who wanted to rid the Bulkawan Peninsula of colonial influence and establish a collective paradise. Malik gathered a force of 20,000 Bedouin cavalry and rode south to forcibly gather support for his attempts. The following year, [[1824]], he returned with an army of 250,000. It is unclear if these reports are just of combat troops or included his train, regardless it was a sight to behold. The colonial troops balked and retreated with each engagement and the few occidental soldiers and officers did their best to forestall the inevitable. Fearing the loss of their capital and the salt mines, the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company|Company]] hastily made treaties across [[Audonia]] and redirected its troops to Presidency of Bulkhawan. A force of 45,000 colonial troops was formed and force-marched through the desert to meet the Malikites head-on. Arriving at the western edge of the Great Kazir desert in March of [[1825]], the colonial army set about building a camp and reinforcing its supply lines. The massive, cumbersome western-styled army immediately fell prey to the sprightly and spirited, lightning-fast raids of the Malikite army. Their supply lines disrupted and their supply of food and water dwindling, they made a forced march to the southern coast. 540 men died of starvation and thirst along the way, but the remainder were met by the navy and brought back to Sant Marten. As equatorial winter set in all they decided to wait. Garrisons were established at the salt mines and some recently created farming communities were forcibly abandoned and the men impressed into a militia. January of [[1826]] saw the first attempts by the Malikites to probe the defenses of the colonial forces. The Ben Ghilli Salt Flats came under attack January 12th. A small detachment of Malikite cavalry attacked the forward watch posts and were met with cannon fire from the fortified town. A squadron of [[Battganuur]]i knights and [[Umardwal|Umardi]] Sipahis were dispatched to try to find the main Malitike force.
