The Doui-Menia or **Dawi-Mani** ([Arab](https://bliptext.com/articles/arab)ic ذوي منيع, Maghrebi [Arab](https://bliptext.com/articles/arab)ic /dwi-mniʕ/) are an [Arab](https://bliptext.com/articles/arab) tribe of the Moroccan-Algerian border between [Taghit](https://bliptext.com/articles/taghit) and the [Tafilalt](https://bliptext.com/articles/tafilalt) region, centered on [Abadla](https://bliptext.com/articles/abadla) in the [Guir](https://bliptext.com/articles/guir) valley. They became prominent in the area with their expansion eastwards around the 17th century, notably at the expense of the [Ghenanma](https://bliptext.com/articles/ghenanma) and [Hamyan](https://bliptext.com/articles/hamyan). Like several other tribes of the region, they are divided into "five fifths" (khams khmas), tracing their descent to a common ancestor, Addi el-Meni`i; according to Dunn (1977:70 ), these are: To these a "sixth" was added by alliance in the 19th century: the neighbouring Ouled Djerir near Bechar. Traditionally mainly nomadic, agriculture became an essential part of their economy in the eighteenth century: each "fifth" cultivated a portion of the seasonally flooded lands along the Guir valley near Abadla, and stored the produce in fortified silos (matmuras). They also bought, or confiscated, palm groves at nearby oases.
