located by William Garrison, 10 January 2025A light-blue tribal flag of the "Albo Shaa'ban" (al-Shaabani), which is a
sub-clan under the "Jenabies", who are part of the larger "Zubaidi/Zubayd" Arab
tribe. "Jenabies" were originally distributed in southeast Syria, western and
central (Al-Anbar province) Iraq. [For those who can read Arabic and want to
know more about the "Jenabies", such information can be found at:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067908397730]. The various tribal
names are linked together on this flag's bottom white line. The top white line
is the "Shahada", a Muslim's "Declaration of Faith": "There is no deity but
Allah (God), and his Messenger is Mohammed." In the middle of this flag is a row
of five stars (red, green, blue, white, and black) which may represent five
clans. There appears to be a hidden flagpole sleeve at the right hoist side.
