Rashed Al-Khuzai

Résumé
Prince Rashed Al-Khuzai (الأمير راشد الخزاعي), full name Prince Rashed bin Prince Khuzai bin Durgham bin Fayad bin Prince Mustapha bin Salameh Al Fraihat (1850–1957), was a Sunni Islamic political figure. In 1937, he began the Revolution of Ajloun by forming the Arab anti-colonial militant group Rebels of Ajloun. Until his death in 1957, he was associated with Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Before the victory of the Turkish Empire (Ottomans) over the Mamluks in the battle of Marj Dabek, Ajloun Mountain (Jabal Ajloun in Arabic) was a base for emirates which controlled Jordan and portions of Palestine. The strength of the principality and its rulers led the Ottomans to name Ajloun the Emirates of Ajloun (a sanjak) in 1517. The town of Kufranjah is the seat of tribal and emirate governance through the al-Fraihat family, who ruled the region for hundreds of years and protected pilgrims to the Levant. The Ajloun region and Prince Rashed Al-Khuzai are known to the Palestine Liberation Organization leadership. The city of Ajloun, in Jordan's Hashemite Kingdom, has supplied liberation movements. Its government, formed at the 1920 foundation of the Emirate of East Jordan, struggled against colonialism. Before 1920, the emirate of Ajloun was governed by the Ottoman sultan Prince Rashid bin Khuzai Alfraihat, ruler of the southern Levant (Jordan and portions of Palestine). Before the 1920 formation of the Ajloun Governorate, Rashid appointed Ali Niazi Al-Tal as governor and Abdullah Rehani chief of security and police; al-Khuzai represented the Ottoman sultan as prince. At the beginning of Ottoman rule in the sandjak in 1517, Ajloun included the Houran plains, present-day Jordan and the city of Nablus. Al-Khuzai was known as the Prince of Ajloun Mountain, Father of Ajloun, Father of the (1937) Ajloun revolution, and Godfather of Ajloun. Al-Khuzai was born in Kufranjeh in 1850, the son of Prince Khuzai bin Durgham bin Fayyad bin Prince Mustafa bin Salameh Al-Fraihat. His ancestors had ruled the region for generations, and he made the Mountain of Ajloun its capital.
