They once carried the red banner of the confederation, kept at Igherm Amazdar, and around 1930 still supply, with the Aït Ouahlim, the judges of the appeal court at Igherm Amazdar (Spillmann; Hart, p. 11). The Izzouawiten family, of the Aït Baha Ichou, formed the imzouaren, “the first ones”, who spoke first in the assembly and marched at the head in battle; their descendant Bouichou, of Alnif, still has real influence around 1930. Friends of the Aït Isfoul alone, they long fought the Aït Ouahlim, especially the Aït Aïssa ou Brahim, and are hostile to the Aït Yafelman. Their centre is the Regg valley. In 1933, about a hundred Aït Yazza and Aït Ounebgui families joined the defenders of the Saghro; 150 families of the two groups gave themselves up on 10 March.
