African Empire

African Empire also known as African Warlords was a faction created for Command & Conquer: Generals early during it's concept art period, replaced by the GLA in the final game.

Overview
Their leader was a man named Kurtz. Their soldiers were vielding African shields and spears, seemingly being composed of both blacks and arabs. Some of their soldiers even seemed to be deformed, sporting additional limbs, with one of their infantry units even being a two-headed soldier armed with Luger pistols and a scimitar.

They seemed to utilize bizzare technology, even for Command & Conquer standards, with their vehicles having a tribal theme mixed with Mad Max-esque aesthetics, and their structures resembling traditional African huts. Many slaves, some looking to be disease-ridden and sometimes even lacking limbs were chained to their vehicles, a concept that presumably evolved into GLA's Workers.

One of the concept art pieces also showcases a Nuclear Missile-like structure placed inside one of their bases.
