Citation Abstract: In the light of the above discussed, we can say that the tribes in the state of Mosul played a significant role, as this role has been given a political character, forcing the ottoman authorities to deal with it seriously and trying to appease it in fear of what might happen in the continuation of the clans in the Ottoman authorities, especially some of these tribes had a political and military status like Shammar Al-Jarba in Jazeera region and the evidence of the strength and prestige of the clan is the attempt by the ottoman rulers since before the return of direct rule to Mosul to benefit from the strength of this clan and the relations of its political sheikhs. Finally, the experience of settling clans that Medhat Pasha tried to implement was not easy, as the tribesmen realized that the aim was first and foremost in the interest of the state to resettle them means easy taxation of them and it means the easy imposition of conscription and making them loyal dependent citizens of the Government of Ottoman this is what they did not accept for themselves especially with the presence of the interclass among the tribes and represented by foreigners, whether consuls or archaeologists, who realized that the paper of the clans a trump card through which they can pressure the ottoman government and interfere in the internal affairs of the state.
