The History and Kinship of the Tribe of Ouled Frej
The Kinship of Ouled Frej Ouled Frej descendents of Frej son of Tawba son of ittaf son of Jabr son of Ittaf son of Abdullah Adaridi son of Athbej son of Abu rabiia son of Nahik Alhilali. Ouled Frej tribe belongs to the big and renowned Arab tribe of Beni Hilal beni Aamir Beni Saasaa which lived in the mountains of Ghatafan and in the region of Najd in the Arabian Peninsula. That tribe had migrated during the Amawi dynasty which ruled the Islamic world. The migration of the tribe of Hilal was known as an expulsion since that tribe was expelled from the Arabian Peninsula by the Amawis due to political resistance on the part of Hilal to their rule. That migration or expulsion was described in a long poetry epic. Among the regions that Hilal migrated to were Egypt and Tunisia. The offspring of Ouled Frej is believed to have been formed in Tunisia and spread in the rest of North Africa. Also, there are Ouled Frej tribes up to now in Tunisia, Lybia and Algeria. There is another kinship of Ouled Frej that states that Ouled Frej belongs to Said Beni Faraj who was the last resistant of Andalusia conquest in Granada. However the first kinship is the most valid of all. The History of Ouled Frej Tribe. The tribe of Ouled Frej is an oriental tribe as most of Dokkali Tribes are. They migrated from the east that is to say from the Arabian Peninsula, that is why they are called the oriental tribes. Most of the Arab tribes migrated to the region of Dokkala, which is in the centre west of Morocco, during the Mowahide dynasty which ruled Morocco and most of North Africa. The Mowahide dynasty had political rivalries with the Sanhaji berber tribes because they didn’t support their rule. Thus, they drove them out of dokkala and replaced them by the Arab tribes, Ouled Frej among them, brought from the east. In fact, these Arab tribes, mainly of Hillal descent, were used by the Mowahide to stabilise Morocco and to put an end to the Berber tribes’ revolutions. Ouled Frej tribe has been residing in the eastern north of Dokkala for a long undefined time. In this respect, the Spanish historian Marmoul talked about Ouled Frej in the 16th century, 10th Hijri; he stated that they were the strongest Arabs before the Porteguese colonisation of Safi and Azemour. He also wrote that Ouled Frej had their own cities which were called Gharbiat Assaka. They also had an army of about 500 hundred cavaliers and 6000 infantries distributed among 54 offspring of the tribe. In addition to that, the Portuguese historian, Quiech, had demarcated the boundaries of Ouled Frej tribe in the 16th century, 10th Hijri. According to him Ouled Frej tribe was located in the east of Azemour and to the south of Oum Rabii River, It also extends to the villages of Benkiz and tafouf on the verge of Hiscoura to the east, which is now Arhamna and the near regions. And extends to Macrous village and had boundaries with Ouled Omrane esskawane to the west. Apparently, Quiech’s demarcation of the ouled Frej matches the contemporary location of the tribe. Except the location of Ouled Omrane tribe which no longer exists to the west of Ouled Frej. Accoding to the researcher and historian Ahmed Boucharb Ouled Bouaziz tribe wasn’t to the west of Ouled Frej. He explains, in the map he designed about Doukkala tribes in the 16th century, that the tribe of Ouled Omrane Esskawane extended to the east towards the Green Mountain, near Alounate. He concluded that Ouled Omrane Esskawane had shifted its geographical location while Ouled Frej remained in its actual limits. Accoding to Boucharb the movement of Doukkala tribes in the beginning of the 16th century could have been caused by the Portuguese intervention in the region, and by the conflicts between these tribes and the coloniser. According Abu Zeid Abdurrahman Alfassi, the poet Abdurrahman Almajdoub belongs to the tribe of Ouled Frej. One of the most important historical cities of Ouled Frej is Boulwane. According to Marmoul, Boulwane was a beautiful city near Oum Rabii River. It was surrounded by high and old fortifications. Additionally, according to Marmoul, the residents of Ouled Frej were rich and had a lot of fertile land and live stock. In this respect, The Moroccan historian Alhassan Alwazan, Known as the the Lion of Africa, wrote that Boulwane had a guests house equipped and financed by local people for travellers and passers-by to reside in. Presently most of Boulwane vanished except its famous castle. Boulwane city was destroyed during the wars between Ouled Frej and the Portuguese.
