Mussul

Mussul, or Mossul, was a coastal territory south of Ambriz and the Loge River. Its ruler bore the title of marquis and acknowledged a connection to the kingdom of Kongo while exercising considerable independence. Traders from Mbamba and Europe met at the ports of this coast, exchanging captives for firearms, gunpowder, cloth and other goods. In 1792 Portuguese forces campaigned against Ambriz and Mossul as they sought to extend their influence north of Luanda.
