I'm hoping to confirm the correct spelling as news reports are today saying "Misseriya". Is there a source for the spelling used in this article?

Regarding the spelling of the word 'Messiria' there different versions:
'Messiriya' cited by Ian Cunnison, 1966.
'Messiria' as written here in this article.
'Messiriyya'
Synonymous:
'Messiria Humr', means Red Messiriya
'Messiria Zuroug', means Black Messiriya.
