Ahmad al-Bakkai al-Kunti (1803 in the Azawad region north of Timbuktu – 1865 in Timbuktu) was a West African Islamic and political leader. He was one of the last principal spokesmen in precolonial Western Sudan for an accommodationist stance towards the threatening Christian European presence, and even provided protection to Heinrich Barth from an attempted kidnapping by the ruler of Massina, Amadu III. In a letter to the ruler, which was rather a fatwa he denied the former's right to have Barth arrested or killed and his belongings confiscated, as the Christian was neither a dhimmi (a non-Muslim subject of a Muslim ruler) nor an enemy of Islam, but the native of a friendly country, that is Great Britain. He went as far as to deny Ahmad Ahmad ibn Muhammad Lobbo the right to proclaim a jiha

| - Ahmad al-Bakkai al-Kunti (Azawad 1803 – Timbuctu 1865) fou un líder religiós i polític maure/moro (àrab beduí-amazic, arabòfon) de l'Àfrica occidental, marabut dirigent de la zawiya dels Bakkiyya i xeic de la tribu kanata. A la meitat del segle xix va negociar amb Ahmadu Lobbo i va obtenir el control de Timbuctu pagant un tribut. El setembre de 1853 va rebre l'explorador Heinrich Barth, amb qui va fer amistat, i es va enfrontar a Lobbo quan aquest va dictar una fatwa per arrestar o matar Barth com a cristià i enemic de l'islam. Ahmad va rebutjar la fatwa perquè Barth no era un dhimmi (un cristià subjecte al govern d'un musulmà) ni un enemic de l'islam, sinó un ciutadà d'un país amic com la Gran Bretanya. La disputa va arribar lluny i Ahmad fins i tot va negar a Lobbo el dret de declarar la gihad i el va considerar com "el governant d'unes quantes cabanes a la perifèria del món islàmic". Fou un dels darrers xeics dels kanata i de la bakkakiyya o bakkiyya (branca de la kadiriyya). La seva voluminosa correspondència aporta una detallada visió de la política i la religió al segle xix a l'Àfrica occidental. El 1862 els fulbes de Masina foren derrotats per al-Hadjdj Umar fundador de l'anomenat imperi Toucouleur, i Ahmad al-Bakkai es va erigir en el defensor de la independència de Timbuctú. Poc després Umar va conquerir Timbuctú i la va saquejar però Ahmad es va aliar als fulbes (o peuls) que es van revoltar dirigits per Balobo, germà de l'executat rei de Masina, i junts van assetjar la capital Hamdallahi durant 8 mesos; quan la gana va fer impossible la resistència, Umar va fer cremar la ciutat i es va refugiar als penya-segats de Bandiagara, on abandonat pels seus partidaris, va morir misteriosament, fent saltar una càrrega d'explosiu (1864). Ahmad va morir el 1865 però els maures kanata de la bakkakiyya o kadiriyya van seguir dominant Timbuctú fins a l'arribada dels francesos el 1893, quan es van retirar cap a l'Azawad. (ca)

He went as far as to deny Ahmad Ahmad ibn Muhammad Lobbo the right to proclaim a jihad and called him "the ruler over a few huts at the outskirts of the Islamic world". Al-Bakkai was also one of the last Kunta family shaykhs, whose prestige and religious influence were interwoven with the Qadiri brotherhood and the economic fortunes of the Timbuktu region. His voluminous correspondence provides a rare, detailed glimpse into political and religious thought in 19th century West Africa regarding the primary concerns of; the nature of the Imamate/ caliphate in Sahelian and Sudanese communities, issues surrounding the encroaching Christian powers, and the growing politicalization of Sufi tariqah affiliation.
