👉 The mesa weapon, also known as the "mesa" or "mesa daga," is a unique and deadly weapon used by some groups in the Sahara region, particularly among the Tuareg people. It consists of a long, slender wooden shaft with a sharpened metal tip, often made of iron or steel. The weapon is typically attached to a handle made of wood or leather, and its length allows for both close-quarters combat and the ability to throw it as a ranged weapon. The sharp tip can inflict severe injuries, including deep puncture wounds and fatal lacerations, making it a formidable tool in the hands of skilled users. The mesa weapon's design reflects the practical needs and cultural traditions of desert warfare, emphasizing both stealth and lethal efficiency.
