The Almoravids declared war on Ghana primarily to expand their influence and control over trade routes in West Africa. They aimed to spread Islam and curb the power of the Ghanaian empire, which was seen as a rival due to its wealth and adherence to traditional beliefs. The conflict also stemmed from the Almoravids' desire to protect Islamic communities in the region and assert their authority over the lucrative gold trade that Ghana dominated.
