Actually western Libya is berber while the resistance are all made off from Eastern libyan qabil who are more arab. I hope they involve the tribes in the south then we will surely have a big party ( Incase you didn't know southern Qabil are dark and are extended into Sudan/Niger/chad where they are in the millions).The Berbers live on the East. Western Libya is a Jeberti territory![]()

Finally. I have been waiting to hear about the failed state of Libya.

There are two Black groups in Libya. The Southerners, who are Tebu, are not Arabized at all, in fact they were stripped of citizenship and labeled as Chadians. These guys are anti-Gaddafi. The Northern Blacks are Arabized and former slaves, they were on Gaddafi's side the whole time.The Southern tribes include the Tebu( who are black) and there are other black tribes but they are all Arabized and identify as Arabs.
Ah ok I thought they speak Arabic, but you are right here. How do the Zaghawa feel about Libya, and do any live there?There are two Black groups in Libya.

The Tebu are the dark horse in this conflict. In the 1980s, their Chadian counterpart Hissen Hebre, a Tebu, nearly burned all of Libya to the ground---the French and Egyptians had to intervene to prevent his renegade mobile tribesmen from marching to the Mediterranean. Right now a non-Tebu is in power in Chad, but if a Tebu was in power it would tip the scales inside Libya.

The Zaghawa don't live in Libya so I'm not sure if they have an opinion on it. The current Chadian president, a Zaghawa strongman, was put in power by Gaddafi, so its likely they will have a grudge against the new regime.
Then again, they're very unstable people, just like their Tebu cousins. A few years ago, some Zaghawa tribesmen from Darfur marched all the way to Khartoum and burned sections of the city to crisp so they may well decide to back the Tebu out of nowhere. The nomadic habits of some of these Sahara-Sahel tribes makes Somalis look like sedentary farmers. A Fur or Tuareg convoy can launch an attack from Niger and strike Ethiopia in a matter of days without anyone noticing their arrival, and they're reckless enough to try that shit. They're the Mongols of Africa, if they were just more populous and organized they would be a serious force.


Warriors. One of my friends is a Chadian. Nice people.The Zaghawa don't live in Libya so I'm not sure if they have an opinion on it. The current Chadian president, a Zaghawa strongman, was put in power by Gaddafi, so its likely they will have a grudge against the new regime.
