We only have gun trouble between tribes.

Interestingly enough the long blood feud my tribe have is with another Southern Libyan Tribe called the Megrahi's. The very family of the infamous Abdel-Basit El-Megrahi.

I do, but tribes here live in the Amazon and are made up of indians. I'm guessing for him it's different...?
I guess in Libya it's possibly just a term for the big extended family group.

Historically it was like that in Scotland and pretty much everyone here can be traced back to one of the dozen or so big family clans.

That's pretty much how any form of tribal organization starts. Immediate family and then it gets bigger.
