After the withdrawal of the French, the Trarza invaded Waalo in an attempt to destabilize the kingdom.
Njembot Mbodj arranged for herself a marriage with the leader of the Trarza, Mohammed el-Habib (with whom she had a son called Ely Ndjeumbeut el-Habib[3]), which united the two kingdoms and made it easier for them to oppose French interests.
Forced to flee to Kayor by the invading French, she was later able to return home and to contain the power struggle in Waalo.
In 1840, at the death of the brak, she managed to engineer the election of Malick Mbodj as replacement.
