consists of Syrian territory under the French Mandate,
which, with the exception of the Qadha of Raqqah, is
contained within the boundaries of the Dair al Zor
Liwah. The Qadha of Raqqah is in the Aleppo Liwah.
That portion of the Dair al Zor Liwah in Northern
Jazirah comprises the Qadha of Hasichah (which in turn
controls the nahiyah of Ras al Ain) and the nahiyah of
