Magarha

[5] The Magarha, along with the Warfalla, have long formed an important alliance with Muammar Gaddafi,[2] with many Magarha located in the upper ranks of Libya's government and security forces.

Abdullah Senussi, Muammar Gaddafi's brother-in-law and the chief of military intelligence, is a Magarha.

[6] The Magarha tribe has been semi-nomadic, and their alliances are mentioned in historical texts.

The 14th century Islamic texts suggest that the Magarha were one of the tribes that controlled the oases and palm groves in the region that is contemporary west Libya.

[8] The historical records of the Ottoman Empire suggest that along with Riyyah tribe, the Magarha were Arab tribes of Wadi al-Shatti region, and that they supported the Ottoman's authority in Fezzan region.
