themonsstar Posted 8 January , 2020 Author Share Posted 8 January , 2020 The kind native tribes that live in these villages they are born and they die in the same place. The war out here as brought civilisation amongst these people out here. A good many of them such as bedouins have fled to join the Turks. An old native well.
