General notes

Description
Possibly the same person as Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn ibn Muḥammad ibn Sīdī Muḥammad ibn Sīdī al-Mukhtār al-Kuntī (1848-1927), who led numerous raids against French positions in the Niger Bend from areas outside of colonial control in the Tafilalt and Draa Valley in Morocco. His sons Hamā and Sīdi al-Amīn led a number of raids also. The dates certainly correspond, but one would think if it was the same person this information would be recorded in ALA IV.
