The Laghouat region, and the geographic and strategic importance of it before and after the French occupation, has known activity and movement of many tribes that formed groupings that lived in palaces, whether in Laghouat or neighboring areas, or through the dealings of Bedouin tribes who live on grazing and travel with the inhabitants of the palaces, and that in A framework of common interests that unites them in their daily life, economic activities, and social customs.

Those tribes lived in contradictions between peace and confrontation, due to the conditions of nature and climate and also due to the pressures of the occupation and the politics of discrimination.

At the same time, the tribe and the throne had a role in the cohesion of Algerian societies, which prompted the French occupation to put in place administrative and military measures to control the activity and movement of these tribes, especially After occupying the gate of the desert, Laghouat, and realizing its importance in expanding the rest of the southern regions.

This study aims to emphasize the nature of the demographics of the Laghouat region, which is a hybrid between the first inhabitants who inhabited it and the arrivals from the Hilal Arduring their famous advance in the fifth century AH / eleventh century AD.
