History: | The region historically known as Al-Jazira—the northern part of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates—was a vital cultural and trade hub during the Islamic Golden Age. Tel Afar, strategically located on caravan routes, flourished under the Abbasids as a center of scholarship and commerce. Following the Mongol invasions and regional fragmentation, Al-Jazira's influence waned, its cities falling under various tribal, Persian, and later Ottoman control. In 2018, in the aftermath of regional instability, a tribal confederation led by Sheikh Mahmoud al-Talafari declared the formation of the Emirate of Al-Jazira, with Tel Afar as its capital. The move was initially met with skepticism, but the new polity gained traction by providing security through localized tribal defense councils and establishing inclusive governance for Arabs, Kurds, and Turkmen. |
