The war

War

Over the centuries, wars were usual among tribes, between parts of the same tribe, and with the nearby ksars. Wars occurred for different reasons:

Irrigation water distribution.
Occupation of cultivatable lands.
Share of pasture lands.
To get grain during hard times.
As a revenge in personal matters.

Oasis Museum, El Khorbat

The last great war took place in the presaharic valleys between 1917 and 1933 with the campaign of the French army to reduce the resistance of tribes in the region. Since then, the intervention of the State solves the disagreements without the use of weapons.
