Azwafit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About
The Azwafit are part of the greater Tekna confederation. Azwafit is a tribe which was accustomed to escort and protect caravans against the payment of "Ztata" or "Zfata", where the name Azwafit comes from. Because they became part of a bigger Berber tribe, the Arab subtribes are partially Berberised and speak Berber today.
The writer La Chapelle noted that Azwafits counted the following fractions: Ait Ahmed Ou Ali, Ahl Hayin, Mhamd Ait Ait El Khennous, Ait Messaoud Ait Boukko and Ida Ou Louggan.[1]
