History
Baba Amr was named after Amr ibn Abasah, who was buried in Homs.[2] In the early 20th century, Baba Amr was a village in Orontes plain southwest of Homs.[3] The modern district was formed largely as a result of Bedouin migration from the desert steppe east of Homs to the city's suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s.[4] The Bedouin moved to the area due to land reforms by the Ba'athist government of leaders Salah Jadid and Hafez al-Assad which saw many semi-nomadic Bedouin settle in the suburbs of major cities.[4] Most of Baba Amr's inhabitants self-identify as members of the Mawali and Bani Hassan tribal confederations.[4] The inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.[5]
