 Ibrahim had fought the peasants in June, but was forced to retreat to Damascus along with the other Atrash sheikhs and request Ottoman support.The situation was temporarily settled through mediation by the "shuyukh al-uqqal", but the revolt, which was known as the "Ammiyya" was renewed in 1890 and the clans were again expelled from the peasant villages.The Bani al-Atrash and their rivals were restored after Ottoman intervention.
