Lebanese tribesleader Moflih Allaw speaks during an interview with AFP at his office in Hermel in the Bekaa Valley on October 16. There are an estimated 100 clans in the Bekaa, among them a handful of powerful families such as the Jaafars, the Zaayters, the Dandash and the Hamadehs, whose names have become legend and are evoked with awe and fear among the Lebanese.
