Notes:
- While Egypt, Cyprus, and Crete were in theory/legally Ottoman possessions, in reality they were not controlled by them. Egypt and Cyprus were British controlled while Crete was an independent republic at the time in defiance of the Ottomans.
- The border between Senussi and Ottoman control is very fluid and complicated, so I went with the approximately accepted administrative borders.
