Fifth khoms, in the east of the confederation: the Aït Khebbach, former great Saharan nomads, and the Aït Oumnasf of the Rteb and the Ougnat. The Aït Ounebgui had their own banner, green according to some, blue according to others (Spillmann, after La Chapelle). Hart writes that the hostility of the Aït Yazza and Aït Ounebgui towards the conquest was “proverbial” (1984, p. 180).

Historical landmarks
- Around 1936
In the Oussikis, Aït Ouahlim, Aït Isfoul, Aït Yazza and Aït Ounebgui are now called “Aït Oussikis”: according to Spillmann, the memory of their origins fades and the old hostilities between their parent tribes soften.
