	Donner. Early Arab Conquests
		The conquered tribesmen, who formed the lowest stratum, were integrated into the state in the sense that they paid taxes to it and were dominated by it, but they had no active share in the formulation or execution of state policy, which remained the exclusive domain of the elite.
		Tribesmen also became bound to the state when they received shares in the nasib lands, that is, in the abandoned lands taken over by the Islamic state and offerecl to the tribesmen for settlement or exploitation.
		The tribesmen waited out these squabbles in the ruling elite, or plunged in on the side of one or another group in the elite, but it never seems to have occurred to most of them that they should or could raise the standard of revolt in their own name.

	Tribesmen are fed up too - Yemen Times
		The tribesmen who met the NGO’s campaigners have openly expressed delight and happiness for having such an initiative that would try to give a glimpse about the dangers of using and carrying of weapons, especially when used in tribal revenge and fighting.
		The interesting conclusion that came out of the campaign is the eagerness of tribesmen to rid themselves from weapons and their efforts to explain that they are not fond of carrying and using weapons just because they are ‘cool’ or because they resemble manhood.
		Tribesmen just want to ensure that they will live in peace once they give up their arms and want to ensure that everyone else would be disarmed as well.

	Ways of the Towering Tribesmen
		The common battle strategy, it would appear, is for tribesmen to stand on each other’s shoulders to form towers, making them appear much taller than they are (If you are a cartoon character under the age of 8 who wants to sneak into a scary amusement park ride, take careful note of this technique).
		The reason behind this is only explained in the tribesmen’s curious and almost laughable logic.
		To trip, a stack moves into the spot of its victim and then places all tribesmen that occupied that spot in any of the 8 surrounding spaces.
