		It was Hassanein's dream to visit Kufra, a remote oasis in the Libyan desert and it wasn't long before his dream became Rosita's dream too.

		They had conquered Kufra, having wrested it from the "unbelievers" (the Kufara) and had moved their religious centre from Jaghbub Oasis to Kufra because of its strategic suitability.

		When the expedition reached the Kufra Oasis they were amazed to come across a vast salt lake, "bordered by short palm trees and aquamarine coloured bushes." The lake, not surprisingly, had no fish.
		To Hassanein's surprise and amusement, he discovered that the people of Kufra had never seen a fish before and imagined it to be a creature that propelled itself over the water on legs or a kind of bird, but waterborne rather than airborne.
		In Kufra, Hassanein was received again by Idris Al-Senussi, who furnished him with advice and letters of introduction to the Senussi sheikhs he would encounter en route.

		They call themselves a tribe (qabila) and are referred to as one in official documents and private conversation; and they speak of lineages (qabila, aila, haush) even though I think Professor Peters would argue they are not entitled to do so: their sections and lineages do not meet all the criteria he thinks necessary.
		Collecting it was a useful way of beginning fieldwork: it provided a relatively harmless topic of conversation which required a relatively limited vocabulary; it was a way of meeting a large number of people, and of making an initial survey of the Zuwaya.
		It is relatively easy to maintain a sense of the uncertainty and variability of the genealogy when working by mind; less easy to do so when unambiguous and unhesitating data is put into a computer, and such clear and detailed statistics and diagrams come out of it.

		The paleodrainage pattern unveiled by SIR-C suggests that the location of productive wells at the confluence of the old river valleys is no accident.

		Rainfall was more abundant in this region during parts of the late Quaternary when Stone Age (Paleolithic and later Neolithic) people left their implements along the riverbanks.
