Almiaad

During The Ibadi Era, most of the southern parts of Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria were under the control of federal regime based in the Wadi Mzab region, Algeria. During that time, the mountainous villages and cities stretching from the mountains south East of Libya to the Mzab Plateau were under the control of the Ibadi regime. During this period, the whole region flourished both culturally and economically when external invasions did not affect the local structures and activities. In fact, when its people were in control of the mountain and its frontal and back sides, external invasions were minimized and even internal conflicts remained at times limited. During this period, local communities devised aspects of local governance to help settle internal conflicts according to the rules of Sharyaa Law and community traditions. The Azzaba (A'zabaa literally means the plural of 'unmarried', were scholars devoted to the learning of the Islamic region within the understandings of Ibadi jurisdiction. A part from this scholarly institution,the communities created Almiaad as a local governing unit based on the democratic sharing of governance and community decision making. apart from the settling of internal conflicts, Almiaad contributed to the maintenance of group unity and the prevalence of justice. The word nowadays mostly refers to the occasional meetings of mature people. The institution of Almiaad continued to exist until recent years when people started resolving conflicts with recourse to civil institutions. Sources: Chibani, M. (2013).Tamazgha Ibadis.
