Background
In 1717, after the 1711 Karamanli coup, a constant war broke out between the two tribes of Cyrenaica, between two tribes of Awagir and Jawazi. The government of Ahmed Karamanli sided with the Awagir, defeating the Jawazi, which led to their migration westwards toward Egypt[5]
As the local Oral tradition tells the story, there was a chief of the tribe of Ubaidat who committed Tax evasion and Rebellion named Musa, having one adopted son named agha (of Turkish origin). This son betrayed the chief, sending his location to the pasha, leading to his execution and suppression of the Rebellion. The fallen chief had a son named Habib, who called upon the Jawazi, Awlad Ali, and the Egyptian tribes and government against the Karamanli dynasty[6]
Local story
The Ubaydat and Awlad Ali tribes, historically considered cousin tribes, engaged in a territorial dispute that escalated into Armed Conflict. The conflict resulted in a victory for the Awlad Ali, who pushed the Ubaydat back towards Ras Turāb, near Al Bayda. This territorial shift remained in place for several years.
Seeking to restore his tribe's former position, Habib, a prominent figure among the Ubaydat, appealed to the Governor, Bey Bakīr. The Governor dispatched a significant military force to assist the Ubaydat, leading to a decisive defeat of the Awlad Ali. The conflict culminated in the retreat of the Awlad Ali to Salum.
Contrary to a common misconception, the Ubaydat did not cede Derna to the Tripolitanians as part of a peace settlement. Instead, following the conflict, many of the Governor's soldiers, finding Derna to be a desirable location, decided to settle there, contributing to the city's growth and development.
Although no historical source takes this story as a true account of Habib migration.
Tribal strategy
During the prolonged war period, the government of Ottoman Tripolitania haven't sent any troops to the war. Instead, sending tribes from Tajura,Misrata,Warfalla and a Berber Tribe from Az Zawiyah by the name of Kerdasa, to pillage and conquer.[7][8]
The tribes marched for one year into the Western Desert and Cyrenaica, pillaging towns and villages. According to Folktales, while the Kerdasa conquered the western desert of Awlad Ali and taking cities[9][10] which modern day named after them (Kerdasa), and Kerdasa specifically would support Muhammad Ali of Egypt in his campaigns in the Arabian Peninsula[11]
Historical importance
The Habib migration is considered the largest Migration in the history of modern day Libya, which led to many displacements of Barqian tribes[12]
Also, the campaign served as a show of power from the Pasha of Tripoli, Ahmed Karamanli, against Ottoman Egypt[13][14]
