[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] Lion - the Turks have ruled Saudi Arabia for a long time. Currently the only Black ruler in Arabia is Qaboos ibn Sa'id Al Sa'id of Oman. [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WUW2mfvlEZA/R6iQQHp22uI/AAAAAAAAAVs/LB2fMmIf7xc/s320/sultan_qaboos2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://spa.fotolog.com.br/photo/58/49/122/mrssilva17/1269492036451_f.jpg[/IMG] In Saudi Arabia the true Black Arabs have been relegated to tribal lands, and they are constantly at war with the ruling Turks. There are about 150 major tribes in Saudi Arabia. HERE ARE A FEW ARTICLES. The Saudi Separation Fence Two months ago, the Saudi government began to build a fence along its border with Yemen in an attempt to separate the residents along both sides of the border. The border between the two countries was set out in the 2000 Jeddah border treaty, which included a 20 kilometer-wide neutral zone as a strip of grazing land permitted to both sides. The building of the fence enraged the Shi'ite Wayilah tribe on the Yemenite side, which even before its construction had objected to the location of the border. The Wayilah tribe owns approximately 200 military vehicles and thousands of rifles, and in the past has waged fierce battles against the Saudi Yam tribe. In 2000, it battled the Yemenite Dahm tribe, which is said to have the support of the Saudi government. The late Wayilah tribal head Sheikh bin Shag'e, who died in 2002 under mysterious circumstances, had explained that he had in his possession 240 year-old documents proving the tribe's ownership of the lands included in the Jeddah treaty. Saudi Arabia tried to pacify the Wayilah, giving 500 of them Saudi citizenship, but the tribesmen nevertheless rioted on various occasions, including when the Saudi authorities arrested a Shi'ite sheikh of the tribe and shut down his mosque. http://www.islamdaily.org/en/saudi-arabia/2154.the-saudi-separation-fence.htm Saudi Arabia in 'tribal' border conflict Saudi Arabia appears to be taking the lead in Yemen's effort to crush Huthi rebels, in the largest Saudi military operation since the 1990 Gulf War. Saudi jets, helicopters and artillery continued to attack Huthi positions along the Yemeni frontier early this week, one month after Saudi forces struck back after rebels carried crossed the border in a brief but deadly raid, according to Saudi press reports. On Sunday, Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, the deputy prime minister, emphasised that the goal of the biggest Saudi military mobilisation since the 1990-91 Gulf War is protecting Saudi sovereignty, not encroaching on Yemen. Saudi Arabia "will not allow anyone to gain a foothold on its land," he said. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/expatnews/6701202/Saudi-Arabia-in-tribal-border-conflict.html The Utaybah tribe has traditionally lived just north of the present Riyadh-Mecca highway in the desert between the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and Jeddah on the Red Sea. The residence of the tribal leader is Afif, a small town of 90,000 about 600 kilometres West of Riyadh. Many Utaybah are found in Riyadh, Jeddah and as far away as Kuwait. The Utaybah tribe has historically had an important role in the Saudi army dating to the early days of the reign of Abdul Aziz Al Saud, founder of the present ruling dynasty. The Utaybah tribe is composed of three major branches: the Barga (the largest branch), the Rwog, and the Banu Saad (Sons of Saad). Each of these branches are divided into many clans and families. http://www.30-days.net/muslims/muslims-in/mid-near-east/arabian-pen/saudi-tribes/ [/QB][/QUOTE]
