"Circassians of the Caucasus" were the people who were forced to flee their homes when the Tsarist Military started to push for expansion into the North Caucasus region. They people who fled were accepted as refugees by Libya until the collapse of the Tsarist regime.

They see that their fighting support would be a repayment of their debt.
