[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] The Egyptian deputy in question was probably not an ''ethnic'' Egyptian meaning somebody reffered to as a fellahin,baladi or Sa3eedi. Most likely if the following dates to the 1690's he is a Ottoman Turk. As far as the Haratine, I don't believe they are slaves but people that always lived around the Sahara oasis. Haratine are seperated in caste amongst the Tuareg away from Iklan or Bella groups. Haratin from what I read simply means the same as a Fallahin[one who tills the soil]. The people labeled Haratine in Mauritania might be different than the ones in Algeria,Morocco or Libya who I don't believe have slave origins. [/QB][/QUOTE]
