In 1877; and this elder was replaced - when he became deaf and completely incapacitated in 1917 - by the fourth son of Ahmed, born around 1882, after his elder brother refused to benefit from the position. Today, the children of Zayd have almost completely severed ties with the esteemed children of Aloush, asserting their independence and establishing friendly relations with their neighbors, the Fulan of Mbara, who graze with them in the summer in the region of Massina and its surroundings, and roam in the winter to visit their Haratin villages in Kangra, Khalifa, and Tas and Med Alla. The village of Kangra is headed by Muhammad Afririk, whose father Ahmed bin Al-Nafi came from Tichit, settled in Kangra, and by order of Sheikh bin Sidi, from whom he later separated and remained with us. As for the chief of Khalifa village, he is Muhammad Abdullah bin Batheh, who separated from the children of Aloush following a quarrel, after having been with them in the past.

(b) Ahl Muhammad Al-Tee, Ahl Bu'athim, Ahl Al-Hajj Omar, who are Zawaya, and Ahl Ahmed Boubekr and Ahl Al-Hassan and their children, who are Hassani, except that the children of Zayd administratively only include the first five branches, as Ahl Al-Hassan and their children have long since separated from them. Ahl [Al-Hajj] Hassan derives its name from a righteous man of religion, Al-Hajj Hassan bin Aghdi (26) who is descended from Zayd; and when he repented, he completely separated from his brothers, the children of Zayd, and gathered around his tent, which was pitched in Basak, his sons and his disciples, and among them were – along with the children of Zayd – some tents of Arabs and Tuareg, camels and Negroes, and Al-Hajj Hassan formed an independent faction, whose blessing and vast knowledge caused him to remain (end of the 17th century).
