Chapter One: The Daoudi Tribes 35 Al-Sin, and Islam bin Shennan Al-Bordi, who was a friend of Sidi, and who was also arrested at Masquf, and he was apprehended in September 1917, and sentenced to five years in prison as well. He only had one son named Sidi, who is still young (born around 1913). As we said before, they gather in the Al-Abyar region in northern Biskni, and around Bir Al-Arnab and Al-Hasabi Al-Taweel... etc. The latter is located 70 km west of Al-Arnab, and it is a well with a depth of 55 meters, and its water is abundant and sweet. It was dug in the past by the Binnasara of Al-Wushiyusin before their conversion to Islam, and they abandoned it by force or willingly to the sons of Alloush two centuries ago; And a short distance from the well, we still find the remains of collapsed huts built by the Binnbara. 3 - Awlad Alloush Al-Baqar Awlad Alloush Al-Baqar are divided into the following groups: (a) - Awlad Bouali, their chief is Muhammad Mahmoud [bin Bakr]. (b) - Awlad Said, their chief is Muhammad Jad bin Muhammad. (c) - Awlad Bouzid, their chief is Muhammad Fadhel bin Sheikh Sidi. It is enough to refer to the genealogy list we provided in the appendix to notice that these branches return to a pure Alloushi origin. The first branch includes two camps: Qataftha, which is the name given to the chief's camp, and Ahl Tiki; We should also attribute a fourth branch to Awlad Alloush Al-Baqar that follows their example, which is Awlad Za'im, who are the sole representatives today of the old tribe Awlad Younis, and their chief is Al-Taleb Muhammad bin Badi. There are other isolated tents that have retained their Younsi origin. We find them in Al-Jaafra, and Awlad Zeid. It seems that these Awlad Younis were the vanguard of a nomadic group attached to Awlad Daoud bin Arouq. There are different histories narrated about them, and birth dates are recorded in particular, that in 1688 the tribe of Awlad Za'im migrated from Walata towards the river (Niger). (d) The chief of the tribe is Muhammad Mahmoud bin Bakar bin Sidi bin Al-Najm bin Abdullah bin Omar bin Bouali bin Alloush. This fruit is the result of the ignorance of the Zawiyas, whom I will understand. Muhammad Mahmoud, born around 1880, succeeded his elder brother Muhammad, who died in 1909 without leaving any children. His family has always allied itself through marriage with the family of the chiefs of Awlad Alloush Al-Ibil. These two sister tribes are today linked by good relations. Moreover, Awlad Alloush Al-Baqar have good and close relations with their neighbors, the Awlad Urba, and they graze with them during the autumn season towards Al-Takafiya and Biskto, and in the summer season towards Jura and Masina on the Niger River between Bamako and Timbuktu.
