The Battle of El Ksiba took place at El Ksiba in Morocco 8–10 June 1913.[1] It was a battle in the French conquest of Morocco. Despite inflicting greater casualties on their enemy than they sustained themselves, the French Resident-General in Morocco, Hubert Lyautey, held the field commander Charles Mangin responsible for unacceptable losses. Mangin was removed from his command, and soon returned to France.[2]
Following his victory at the Battle of Sidi Bou Othman in September 1912, Mangin had been given the command of Oued Zem.[citation needed]
