Awlad Muhammad
Awlad Muhammad (or Ouled Muhammed) was a tribe that ruled over the Fezzan region from 1550 to 1812. At their height, their domain extended from Sokna in the north to Murzuq in the south, as well as in the present-day territories of Chad and Niger
The Muhammad Alwad dynasty was a prominent family that governed the Fezzan region, located in present-day southwestern Libya, from the late 15th century until the early 19th century. Emerging amid the decline of previous tribal confederations, the dynasty established control over key oases and trade routes that connected sub-Saharan Africa to the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1574 the Ottoman Tripolitania Empire, under Mahmut bey, invaded and occupied Fezzan, the Oasis, and a significant part of the Southern Sahara (present day niger and Chad). Most African historians believe this occurred in the year 1577, the same year that Idris Alooma sent his diplomatic delegation to the Ottomans. Muhammad Bey also exerted great effort in transferring the Ottoman system to Central Africa. He descended from Murzuq (Libya) with 500 soldiers southward at a distance of 1950 km² from the Mediterranean Sea; following a direct path, they reached the northern and southern parts of Lake Chad. The greater part of the Sahara forms significant portions of present-day Niger, all of which were annexed to the Fezzan district (later the vassal). King Idris Aluma, ruler of the Kanem-Bornu Sultanate, sent three ambassadors to Istanbul in 1577 and offered his allegiance. Firearms were sent from Tripoli by order of the Ottoman court, and the sultanate came under Ottoman rule Fezzan had been vassailized since 1574,
In 1583 and 1585, Ottoman garrisons were slaughtered by the local rebels, leading to the Alwads return to power, under influence of Bornu and Tripoli. But still under the Ottoman Control, as Sultan Murad III consolidated and stabilized Ottoman rule over the city and extended its influence to the surrounding areaThe Ulads continued to depend on Bornu for military aid, resisting the Ottomans until a compromise was reached around 1626; in which occupying Turkish forces were withdrawn, and the hereditary authority of the Ulads was recognized as the ruler of The Muhammad Alwad Dynasty, under Ottoman influence.
