Ammiyya

The Ammiyya (Arabic: الثورة العامية في جبل حوران‎, althawrat aleamiat fi jabal hawran, or Arabic: ʿĀmmiyya‎) was a revolt against Ottoman rule in Syria in 1889–1890. The peasants sought to curb the abuses of local sheikhs, restricting them to ⅛ of the communal land. They also wanted to partition the rest of the communal land into individual plots outside the sheikh's control, ending their ability to evict poor farmers. Druze opposition was led by the Atrash family.
