Yafran /ˈjɑːfrən/ original name is "Ifran" in Amazigh language, (Arabic: يفرن‎ Ifrin), also spelled Jefren, Yefren, Yifran, Yifrin, is an Amazigh town in northwestern Libya, in the Western Nafusa Mountains, and part of the Jabal al Gharbi District. It was historically a very important city. For example in the Ottoman era it was the capital of Jabal district (at that time there were 5 districts in Libya of which Jabal is one). In the time of resistance against Italian invasion in 1911, Jabal leadership was in Yafran head by Suleiman Al-Baruni who with other leaders of resistance establish the first republic in Arab League countries and second in Muslim countries. He brought telegraph service to Yafran (See the book Adventures in Tripoli by British doctor, Griffin). In the time of independence (Kingdom), Yafran was second city in Jabal after Gharyan and it was a municipality. Yafran still enjoys its "cosmopolitan" multicultural mosaic that built up in the history by having Amazigh, Arabs and subsaharan Africans; Muslims (Malikai and Ibadi) and Jews. Women have great contribution and Yafran had one of the earliest female schools in Libya and ones of first educated women in Libya.
