Camel tribes should be strictly confined to this area, and the false argument of not wishing to commit illegal violations should be rejected, while there are arbitrary measures to define the movement of cattle-herding groups and the settlement of Negroes; and due to submission to the will of Mashṭūf, the main and wealthiest tribe, which wishes to evade all serious administrative work, we have reached regrettable results. The camel herds of Mashṭūf, and with them the vast majority of the herds of other tribes, have become infected with "Al-Tanawarit"; and after there were between one hundred thousand and one hundred and twenty thousand camels in Al-Hūsh in 1914, there are now no more than fifty to sixty thousand, meaning half.

These camel-owning tribes tend to become merely queens of cattle and sheep, and the rush of nomads towards the south is increasing, while our efforts should be directed towards encouraging the ascent of Negro farmers towards the north.

The following regrettable consequences must be expected if swift and decisive measures are not taken: (1) The annihilation of the greater part of the camel herds in this country.

(2) The displacement of the people of the north who specialize in raising them, leading to the abandonment and destruction of the country.

(3) The intensification of the rush of nomads towards the south, the destruction of the forest, the ruin of crops, and the retreat of the Negro farmers to the south.

Everyone agrees on recognizing that the current organization of the coast is deficient, and that it is absolutely essential to establish a region to unify administrative directions and work, military protection, economic renaissance, and financial basis, etc.

But is it a civilian or a military region? That is the point of contention, and if there are several regions, where will the settled and the nomadic meet? Or is it a limited region specifically for the nomadic, or this one?

Following long experience in North Africa, it has been realized that it is imperative to completely separate the administration of nomads from the administration of settled people, and what is true for North Africa is even more true for West Africa. All district leaders have passed through the coasts, agreeing on the difficulty of administering nomads.

Since the White people are unparalleled [!] they willingly spend entire days occupying the district leader with their private affairs, which are extremely complex due to bad faith and skill in settling accounts, and matters are further complicated by the problem of vast distances and the movement of camps.

It appears very difficult, if not impossible, to establish good administration for both settled and nomadic people simultaneously. The nomadic governor must be entirely devoted to them. There is benefit in achieving a clear separation between the two sides, but what will be the border between the nomadic domain in the north and the settled domain in the south?
