FAISAL IBN FARHAN. . „ . ^ , T
Of the Shammar Jarba‘. Visited the Sharif m 1917, and returned to the Iraq in
November, 1917, with letters from the Sharif recommending him to the British administra
tion. At that time his brother, ‘Abdul ‘Aziz, with the latter s son Ajil al \awar, were
also in the ‘Iraq, with a number of Shammar tribesmen. Faisal was asked to arrange with
them Shammar co-operation in a raid towards the Jabal Sinjar. His brother and nephew
feared, probably with reason, that he intended to pose as head of the Shammar Jarba‘;
they sheered off, entered into relations with Ajil al Samarmad, the anti-British Shaikh of
the Zubaid, and finally left the ‘Iraq and rejoined the Turks. Most of the tribe, with which
Faisal seems to have little influence, went with them, leaving haisal with little but his
personal following. He spent the summer of 1918 near Sumaichah, where he has some
uncultivated land, and came back to his former camp near Suwairah in the winter. A
stupid man ; of fine presence like all the sons of Farhan, with a preposterously exaggerated
view of his own importance.
FAISAL AL MIZ'AL.
Shaikh of Albu Husain of the Budair, Diwaniyah district. Returned in the autumn
of 1918, with his tribe, to his lands, on the return of the water to Al Budair. Had been
on the Gharraf for 15 years.
FAISAL AL MUGHIR.
Is now recognised as the head Shaikh of the Juhaish in the Hillah and Musaiyib
districts and is a member of the Tribal Majlis. He has not proved himself competent to
control his tribesmen, and he and his tribe have caused more difficulty than any other section
of the Zubaid. His task has naturally not been any the easier on account of the complica
tions caused by ‘Ajil al Samarmad’s claims ; and further, the Juhaish are so mixed up with
the Mu'amrah tribesmen in Mahawil Shu'bah that it has been quite impossible to settle on
any dividing line between the spheres of the Mu'amrah and the Juhaish.
haisal was also handicapped by having to be at the beck and call of two Political
Officers, viz., Hillah and Musaiyib. It is hoped that this latter disadvantage will be
overcome by an arrangement whereby Faisal has appointed his son Nasir to be his wakil
and deal with A.P.O., Musaiyib, in all matters concerning the Musaiyib district, Faisal
confining the whole of his attention to the Hillah district. He is responsible to Government
for Nasir.
FAISAL AL MUTLAQ.
Shaikh of the Zubaid, Juhaish, lives on the Bad'at Hamad. Strong character and
considerable influence amongst the various sections of the Zubaid, ‘Aziziyah district.
