PA-X, Peace Agreement Access Tool www.peaceagreements.org Document of Reconciliation and Forgiveness Between the Families of the Al Ali bin Ahmad Al Awlaqi Clan Sunday, 7 April 2019 All praises be to Allah, who said “Whoever pardons and seeks reconciliation, then their reward is with Allah.” And He said: “Whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.” Based on the generous invitation of our honored sheikh, Sheikh Saleh bin Fareed bin Muhsin Al Awlaqi, the sheikhs, dignitaries, and elders of the Al Ali bin Ahmad bin Ma’n Al Awlaqi clan, and all of the prominent and social figures of the clan, were invited for talks. After discussing the matter amongst themselves, they communicated with the various groups involved and all of those who wish good for the tribe and its future regarding a tribal truce. Their meeting was conducted for the tribe and in order to put out the fire of conflict and evil and to promote anything that will strengthen the ties of family, brotherhood, and love between the clans, branches, and families of the tribe. Based on that, this blessed idea was formed, and it is based on building a foundation for reconciliation, forgiveness, and moving on from the past and all of its catastrophes and injuries. This idea is based on building bridges of love between the various tribal components and bridging the gaps between them. All of the tribes of the Al Ali clan agreed to this, under the leadership and generous sponsorship of our sheikh, Sheikh Saleh bin Fareed Al Awlaqi, during a meeting on Sunday, 7 April 2019. They decided, during this meeting, to deal with and resolve all of the issues of killings between the members of the tribe during the period from 2014 and until today. This agreement is a continuation of previous agreements between the tribes of Al Ali, who have always been at the forefront of finding rational solutions for their problems, since 1992. This document is applicable for all of the issues that were not included within the scope of tribal vendettas as they are known to the tribes of Arabia, and it includes the issues that have come up recently, starting with the accidental killings and followed by cases of killings. These issues were solved with solutions that were incorrect and irrational, and there were specific entities that were benefitting from these problems and feeding into them. Based on that, the families of Al Ali bin Ahmad clan, represented by their sheikhs, dignitaries, elders, prominent figures, and social figures, have met on this blessed day and agreed to put an end to this bloodshed between the members of the clan. This bloodshed has been carried out without purpose and without end, harming everyone, and it does not please Allah, his Messenger, or any human being for this to continue. These representatives saw the importance of finding root solution to all of these problems, ensuring that these solutions please Allah and please all involved, especially since we are in dire need today of unity and to stand together because of the difficult situation that we are going through requires that we all stand together. We also hope to build a solid foundation of brotherhood and cooperation, as well as a safe future for us and our children, free of any of the negatives and diseases of the past. 1 PA-X, Peace Agreement Access Tool www.peaceagreements.org The cases that are addressed by this document were selected, and they are the cases of eleven men who were killed.
