Determined to suppress the Zaia of central Morocco after the costly action at El Ksiba (June 1913), Colonel Paul Henrys sent 14,000 men in three converging columns against Moha ou Hammou’s capital at Khenifra. The French fought their way into the city after very heavy fighting, though Moha ou Hammou and his army had escaped. They struck back in November at El Herri.
