Aït El Fersi

Oued Ichem; Saghro and Ougnat

Little documentedآيت الفرسي

A small group. Beaurpère describes their qsar on the oued Ichem, founded around 1890 and fed by a khottara, which the Glaoui's harka burned in 1920. Spillmann places them around the Saghro and the Ougnat, partly nomadic. In 1933, Aït El Fersi were among the families who took refuge in the Saghro; Qaid ʿAli calls them “small and impoverished” but present at the Bougafer (Hart, p. 180).
