#1 Interesting. Shaykh Mardamah is a Tebu, and the Tebu (Tubu,Toubou, etc.) homeland is the Borkou-Ennedi=Tibesti region of northernmost Chad. They served as King Idris' bodyguard, and were attacked by Qadafi in his endless war on Chad. The Tebu seemingly had little love for the LNA and made present day Fezzan of south Libya a battleground. One wonders how much influence Mardamah has over Tebu warriors.

#3 A: the Tubu of northern Chad blocked Qadafi's incorporation of the so-called Aozou Strip. They blocked the creation of a Greater Libya that would have stretched from the Med to Lake Chad and beyond. He also held it against the Tubu that they served as bodyguards to King Idris and did so to the end, blowing away many Libyans before retreating to the Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti. Later, they soundly defeated Qadafi's Arab Legion in a series of battles inside Chad.
