The Firjan (also al-Firjan) is an Arab tribe of north-eastern Libya, with large populations in the Sirte, Ajdabiya and Benghazi districts.[1]
While many Firjani have joined the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi (most notably in Ajdabiya and Benghazi) the status of others such as those in Sirte is uncertain. Khalifa Belqasim Haftar, the current commander of the rebel army is Firjani. His brother is the chief of the Firjan community in Benghazi.[1][2]
