special tribe = sans ascendance (without ancestors) politically represents immigrants

History
Following the Taureg rebellions of 2012 - 2025, the affected nations tried to redraw their common borders on ethnic basis but major powers especially China and US tried to stop it. this led to spread of the alliance as the idea of ethnic reunification under the influence of their common French language heritage spread.

the united nations was confused because it was the more "powerful nation" offering territory to the weaker eg the ex-Guinea's offer to transfer the Kpelle minority to liberia

Gambia joined despite being non-french due to their ethnic mix as an alternative to absorbing senegal's jola districts

Conflict with Mauretania was the only major fighting during the restructure period because they tried to claim "black" areas from Senegal and Mali that voted against joining their brethren across the border when the non Tuareg "arab" districts in the north were handed over
