They are now known as Bani Kaab and mostly live in the Ahwaz region of Iran and UAE and Iraq.

Several tribal groups in Iraq originated from Uqayl, including Khafajah, Ubadah and al-Muntafiq. Later, sections of the tribe returned to Arabia, settling in the Province of Bahrain where they gave rise to the Usfurid and Jabrid dynasties. Having left for northern Iraq in the late Abbasid era, the bedouins of Banu Uqayl established the Uqaylid dynasty in Mosul (5th Islamic century). Of the four, Banu Uqayl was by far the largest and most powerful. All were native to al-Yamamah, particularly the southern regions of that district, and included both bedouin pastoralists and settled agriculturists. Banu Ka'b – this section was the largest of the Bani 'Amir, and was divided into four tribes: Banu Uqayl, Banu Ja'dah, Banu Qushayr, and Al Harish.They left for the banks of the Euphrates river in Iraq after a 9th-century Abbasid military campaign against them in al-Yamama. Banu Numayr – a mostly Bedouin tribe that lived on the western borders of al-Yamamah and were allied with the Umayyad dynasty.The tribe seems to have settled and dispersed among the native population there during the Mameluke period. Later the tribe migrated northwards to Syria and briefly established the Mirdasid dynasty there. Like other Amiri tribes, they were allied with the eastern Arabian Qarmatian movement, then came to dominate central Arabia after the Qartmatian's demise. A Bedouin tribe that lived in western Nejd and who led the Banu 'Amir confederation prior to Islam.

The tribe produced several well-known Arabic poets, the most famous of whom was Labid ibn Rabi'ah, an author of one of the Seven Hanged Poems. Although the Banu Amir were engaged in a long war with the Quraysh before the appearance of Islam-manifesting in particular as the Fijar War-the tribe was characterized by giving late allegiance to Muhammad and his immediate successors. The tribe is an Arab Adnanite tribe and its lineage is traced back to Adnan and Ishmael son of Abraham through Hawazin, and its original homeland was the border area between Nejd and Hejaz in Khurmah and Ranyah.

Thus, in 1894, Alula fully recognised Menilek's hegemony just to return to the position of a 'King's man'. ![]() The Tigrean nobles never forgot his humble origin and the Italians could not forgive him for Dogali. ![]() His policy, however, based on uniting the Tigrean elite under Mangasha and attracting the Italians in Eritrea to join hands against the em-peror was unsuccessful. Thus, as the counsellor of Yohannes's heir, Ras Mangasha, Alula became throughout the period of 1889-1893 the most persistent fighter for a Tegre independent of the Shoan Emperor Menilek II. Back in Tagre after the death of Yohannes in 1889, Alula's only way to avoid returning to the lower rungs of the feudal ladder was to preserve the Tigrean hegemony. His activities during those years culminated in military victories (at Kurit against the Mahdists and at Dogali against the Italians) but resulted in the collapse of his dual basis of power: Eritrea and the Tigrean emperor. Alula's power, based on his imperial rank and provincial function, was at its height during the period of 1884-1887. External threats to this province made him a key figure in Ethiopia's relations with its African neighbours and with European powers. As such, he helped his master to consolidate Tigrean hegemony in Ethiopia and was appointed as the governor of the problematic frontier province of the future Eritrea. This son of a peasant managed to avoid the local social scale by becoming the best general of the Tigrean Emperor Yohannes. ![]() Ras Alula played a significant role in the political history of northern Ethiopia during the period between the Egyptian invasion of 1875 and the Italian defeat at Adwa in 1896.
