Morocco: Normalized with a settler colony just so their own colonization of Western Sahara would be approved by the US and Israel.

Zionists now: Put Morocco in the same bag as all other Arabs accusing them of terrorism and ethnic cleansing Jews while using a proper map of Morocco aka a map WITHOUT Western Sahara.

This is what you get when you sell your dignity to settler colonialism and betray Palestine (not the first time according to “Israel” who say they won the six day war because Hassan 2 told them all the plan so they could stop it). All of that just to validate your own settler colonialism.

Either way Western Sahara will be free just like Palestine will be free because y’all can’t keep stealing land and oppressing the rightful owners without consequences.

P.S: For those of you who are supporting the colonization of Western Sahara while being Muslims, I hope you’re ready to explain why you supported the oppression of fellow Muslims when you die and face your judgement.

Second - this list is in no way complete. I could probably double it if I gave it some more time (and maybe I’ll edit this post and add some later) but I wanted to answer this ask.

Third - some things listed are cities, some are attractions, some are landmarks or monuments…it’s really a mix of everything. And some major landmarks that cover more than one country are only listed once.

Die Rückerlangung von Tarfaya sei ein wichtiger Schritt zu Gunsten von der Vollendung der territorialen Integrität des Königreichs Marokko

Laâyoune–Das marokkanische Volk begeht am Montag, dem 15. April 2024 mit Stolz und in einem Klima erstarkter Mobilisierung den 66. Jahrestag der Rückkehr der Stadt Tarfaya in den Schoss des Mutterlandes Marokko, ein wichtiger Schritt im Prozess der Vollendung der territorialen Integrität des Königreichs Marokko und der Konsolidierung seiner nationalen Einheit.

Dieses wichtige historische Ereignis bildete den Beginn des Prozesses der Befreiung anderer Teile des Staatsgebiets, welche sich unter der ausländischen Besatzung befanden, heraus.

Tatsächlich hatte der Kolonialismus das Königreich Marokko in mehrere Einflusszonen aufgeteilt, Spanien im Norden und im Süden, Frankreich  in der Mitte, und Tanger unterstand einem internationalen Status.

Diese Situation erschwerte den Prozess der Vollendung der Unabhängigkeit des Königreichs Marokko, wofür der Thron und das Volk enorme Aufopferungen brachten, die mit der Rückkehr seiner  verschiedenen Majestät des Königs Mohammed V und der Königlichen Familie ins Land im November 1955 gekrönt worden sind.

Das Ende des Protektorats war nur der Beginn des epischen „Großen Dschihad“ zu Gunsten von dem Aufbau eines neuen Marokkos, dessen Priorität die Befreiung anderer besetzter Gebiete gewesen war. Unter diesen Bedingungen wurde die Befreiungsarmee in 1956 zwecks der  Befreiung der südlichen Teile des vonseiten des Staates Spanien besetzten Staatsgebiets mobilisiert.

Ebenso war die Ansprache, die seine verschiedene Majestät der König Mohammed V am 25. Februar 1958 in M'Hamid EL Ghizlane im Beisein von Vertretern der Stämme der marokkanischen Sahara abhielt ausschlaggebend für die Entschlossenheit des Königreichs Marokko, bei der Rückerlangung seiner ausgeplünderten Provinzen seiner Heimat voranschreiten zu haben.

Vermöge der Einsicht des Vaters der Nation und der Symbiose zwischen dem Volk und dem Thron durfte das Königreich Marokko in 1958 Tarfaya zurückerobern und somit die Weichen für eine ausschlaggebende Etappe im nationalen Kampf um die Vollendung der territorialen Integrität und um die Verfestigung der nationalen Einheit stellen.

Das Königreich Marokko beharrte bei dem gleichen Weg und durfte  unter der aufgeklärten Führung seiner verschiedenen Majestät des  Königs Hassan II in 1969 Sidi Ifni zurückerobern. Der Kampf zu Gunsten von der Vollendung der territorialen Integrität dauerte unablässig bis zum Jahr 1975 an, bis zum Jahr, wo das Königreich Marokko seine südlichen Provinzen dank des Grünen Marsches zurückerlangte.

Dieser jüngste Sieg kam zum richtigen Zeitpunkt zustande, um den heroischen Kampf der Marokkaner krönen zu dürfen. In der Tat wurde die Nationalflagge am 28. Februar 1976 in der Stadt Laâyoune hinaufgehisst, somit die Totenglocke für die koloniale Präsenz in der marokkanischen Sahara läutend.

Ein weiterer ausschlagebender Schritt in diesem Prozess der Vollendung der territorialen Integrität war die Rückkehr von Oued Eddahab am 14. August 1979 in den Schoss der Nation.

Unter der aufgeklärten Führung seiner Majestät des Königs Mohammed VI setzt das Königreich Marokko seine Mobilisierungsdynamik zwecks der Verfechtung seiner hart erkämpften territorialen Integrität fort, gleichzeitig der ganzen Welt gegenüber seinen felsenfesten Willen aufbringend, Partei für ein Ende des aus dem Boden gestampften Regionalkonflikts rund um die marokkanische Sahara ergreifen zu haben.

Good evening TUMBLR - March 9th - 2024

''Mr. Plant has owed me a shoe since July 5, 1971."

Ch. XII.7 - Morocco - 1989 - 1991

His Majesty Hassan II visit to New Agadir Airport construction site.

The construction of the new Agadir airport had begun almost a year ago, when it was decided that King Hassan II would visit it to ''lay the first stone''. Meanwhile, it must be said that His Majesty Hassan II was not ''simply the King of Morocco'', but he claimed to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him). KIng Hassan II was therefore invested with the office of ''Amir el Mouminin'' (The Leader of the Believers). Morocco's people have been always very critical toward their political class, but they had always maintained high respect for the Sovereign. In essence they considered him above everything and everyone, and sometimes himself a ''victim'' of palace intrigues.

I remember one of our local suppliers, during a lunch to which we were invited, burst into open criticism of the statements of his young children (university students) who contested the excessive power of the King - we were sipping the famous green tea when blurted out: ''I don't understand what you young people want, when I was a child I was dying of hunger, now the food overflows from the walls of the Souk el Had''! (the Sunday market). And that's thanks to our King's dedication and ability!!

KING'S VISIT PREPARATION Preparations for the King's visit to Agadir began a month in advance. Practically the city became a large whitewashing and varnishing site - hoards of painters, whether improvised or otherwise, set to work to refurbish the entire city. Not only the buildings that in theory should have witnessed the passage of the Royal motorcade, but the entire city was newly painted. The aim was to give absolutely no indication of the King's route, coming from Marrakesh, at that time the last Morocco Southern city reached by the railway. From there the King would continue the journey in an open Mercedes limousine to the Royal palace in Agadir.

On the construction site, preparations for the laying of the first stone by King Hassan II, entrusted to the Bouygues company, were frenetic. A large square had been set up, a layer of gravel had been laid, and a stage had been built from which the King would give a short speech. Behind the stage, a special car park equipped with electricity would have housed the mobile clinic that followed the Sovereign everywhere in his movements. At the last moment an entire truckload of carpets would have been spread between the stage and the chairs where the dignitaries would have sat: another paragraph of the protocol said in fact that Hassan II must never put his feet on the bare ground, but always on precious carpets . A week before the scheduled date of the Royal visit, checkpoints were installed at all entrances to the city of Agadir by the National Security Agency. All vehicles to and from Agadir were stopped and inspected, looking for any souspicious items. In reality, no one knew the exact date of the King's arrival, which was also a precaution against possible terrorist attacks. Let's not forget that in the early 1990s the war between Morocco and the Sahrawis who claimed independence from Morocco of the former Spanish Sahara was in full swing. The closer the possible date of the Royal visit got, the more stringent the restrictive measures of the Police and Gendarmerie became. Until the city was completely blocked: no one could enter or leave Agadir! To get to the site I was forced to use my Range Rover and go through the beach. It that day we understood that the King's arrival was imminent: the mobile clinic had arrived at site, and was positioned as planned behind the Royal Box. A long queue of cars with the dignitaries admitted to the ceremony were waiting to enter the airport area. After strenuous checks by the Gendarmerie, these people, all strictly dressed in the long cream-coloured cloak and red fez (as well as the traditional yellow Moroccan slippers) were made to sit in the chairs prepared in front of the stage where King Hassan II would speak. We participants in the project, however, would have waited standing for hours for the arrival of the Sovereign, positioned immediately after the small group admitted to greet the King, once he had come down from the limousine. Only the first 2 to a maximum of 3 dignitaries (therefore considered closest and in the King's good graces) are allowed to actually kiss Hassan II's hand. And at a certain moment, when dignitaries, spectators, us, the security forces had lost hope… here was: the King Hassan Al Thani Nasaraullah made his appearance!! Standing in the open black Mercedes. He was also dressed in the cream jallaba, the hood on his head, much smaller than I thought, his olive-skinned face (inherited from his mother) already elderly, but which exuded solemnity and very strong energy. The limo stopped about thirty meters away from the dignitaries lined up to wait. The smiling King waved a few times, while the military band played the Moroccan anthem. Having got out of the car, King Hassan II walked between two rows of young women in traditional costumes who threw red rose petals into the air as he passed, taking them from the wicker baskets they held in their hands. At the same time, dozens of women made the traditional ''zaghroutah'', that cry between singing and howling, vibrate in the air.

A triumphal entry, no doubt about it, studied down to the smallest detail by the ceremonial staff. Among the applause of the onlookers, the TVs filming the ceremony, the King reviewed the dignitaries as expected, accompanied by the Chief of Staff, in full uniform, and the Chief of Ceremonies, who whispered in his ear the name and position of every dignitary when they were in front of the Sovereign. Than finally it was our turn: the Chief of Ceremonials said something to the King, as he graciously nodded, accompanying it with a smile. At this point, flanked by the Minister of Transport, they turned towards a sort of brick wall, covered with the flag of Morocco - at a nod from the Master of Ceremonies, two valets removed the green silk flag from the wall, revealing a plaque with a sentence written in Arabic (essentially it said ''Here on May 14, 1990 King Hassan II - Emir of the Believers - inaugurated the works for the construction of the new airport in the city of Agadir - may Allah bless us all). Than the King sat down on the stage, and the greeting addresses began, starting from the Governor of the Agadir Region, followed by the Minister of Transport. The King spoke as last: a short speech to say how happy he was to be where, and to have started a project that would surely - with God's help - bring prosperity to the region and to the entire Morocco. Thus ended the visit, and in the midst of a swarm of security agents, the King sat down in the back seat of the Mercedes. In front of the car, the famous motorcyclist policemen, who opened the Royal procession. They then told me that for all 25 kilometers from the airport to Agadir, a cheering crowd with Moroccan flags had greeted the passage of the King. But the Royal visit did not end there. The next day a celebration was scheduled in the city center, during which King Hassan II would give a speech to the citizens in El Amal square, the main Agadir square. Everything was then ready, the Kaimah (the large white tent) where the King would stop as the 3,000 dignitaries admitted to greet him passed by - all rigorously dressed in traditional costume, the crème Jallaba, yellow slippers and red fez.

The ceremony was short and simple: after the flag raising, the King gave a speech in which he extolled the role of the Agadir region as an engine and example for the country's development - the entrepreneurial skills of the region's people in the key sectors of fishing, agriculture and tourism, which brought prosperity to all country.

Finally the Royal visit ended, the King left and Agadir was able to return to the somewhat sleepy life it had before. Yes, because despite the numerous foreign tourists, the city ultimately lived a very peaceful life.

“No monarchies have fallen, no monarchies have even come close to falling, and that’s not by mistake”. Shadi Hamid.

The fourth part of my Morocco series; please see here, here, here, here, and here for the rest. (This is a post about modern Morocco; Moroccan history stretches back thousands of years and I hope you’ll read my other posts for more).

Bahia Palace was built in 1859 by Si Musa, a descendant of African slaves who rose to become vizier to, and power behind the throne of, Mohammed IV of the Alaouite dynasty, which has ruled Morocco since 1666. The architect was Muhammad ibn Makki al-Misfiwi.

In the 19th century, Morocco was beset by foreign powers, especially Spain and France, which had haunted Africa since Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt in 1798. France was piling on the pressure after conquering Morocco’s neighbour, Algeria, in 1830.

There was no sign of fear at this gorgeous place though: the attention to detail is extraordinary and while it’s annoying that tourists are in most of the pictures, this place has always been open; (9) and (10) are where petitions were received.

If you look carefully there is a difference; while (9) is beautifully inscribed with Koranic verses and is for the Muslim majority, (10), equally lush, does not have this; here is where Jews, who have lived in Morocco for hundreds of years, would be received. (The wealthy philanthropist Moses Montefiore came to Morocco in 1863, as he came to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, where he found a large Jewish community and worked to better their lot; Morocco’s Jews were and are under the protection of the rulers of Morocco, whom they have always served, and Morocco still has a Jewish community today, though far fewer than before the state of Israel was founded in 1948; most Jews moved to the new state or to Europe, though thousands still live here).

Soon after this Mohammed IV died in 1873 and was succeeded by his son Hassan I, who successfully fended off European pressure until he died in 1894.

Between 1894 and 1900 this was home to Ba Ahmed, Si Musa’s son, who was the real ruler of Morocco as he governed in the name of Abdelaziz, son and heir of Hassan I.

(Around 2-3% of Moroccans are migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, and there is also an admixture of African blood from the descendants of former slaves, who were often raped or sold into forced marriage by their owners, and from higher-status African soldiers and politicians such as Ba Ahmed ibn Musa, whose descendants still have a high profile in Morocco’s elite).

Abdelaziz took power in his own right when he came of age, but was forced to abdicate by his brother Abd Al Hafid in 1908. Abd al Hafid lasted only four years before pressure from France and Spain forced him to agree to Morocco being divided between the two European powers in the Treaty of Fez 1912, which was so unpopular that he had to abdicate and flee to France, where he died in 1937.

This part of Morocco became a French protectorate in which the sultanate and old elite had less power than French Resident Louis-Hubert Gonzales-Lyautey, and Abd Al Hafid was succeeded by his brother Yusuf; Yusuf was sultan until 1927 though he did not get to wield real power.

Mohammed V, Yusef’s son, who had been exiled by the French in 1953, came back in triumph in 1956 and became King of an independent state; after Morocco helped win World War 2 by hosting the Casablanca Conference of 1943, and given American sympathy, this was inevitable, and Morocco became what it is now.

Morocco was not free from trouble as, almost as soon as it had become independent, it fought the Sand War against Algeria in 1963; 99 were confirmed dead and hundreds more probably fell in a senseless conflict in which both sides tried to overturn the French colonial borders, and neither succeeded then or since.

As I said, while France withdrew from Morocco in 1956, the other empire, Spain, stayed until 1975 in what is now Western Sahara. When they left there was bitter disagreement over what came next. This is hotly contested as almost all Moroccans, as my tour guide couldn’t help pointed out, believe that Morocco is the rightful ruler of this land, to the south of internationally recognised Morocco.

However, the Polisario movement on that territory claims to be Western Sahara’s rightful rulers and Mohammed V’s son, Hassan II (who had shared Mohammed V’s exile and ruled from his father’s death in 1961) fought a bitter war from 1975 until a ceasefire was reached, without full agreement, in 1991.

(Spain, meanwhile, still occupies the African cities of Ceuta and Melilla, which rather shows up their grandstanding about Gibraltar).

Morocco’s neighbours in the African Union disapproved of Hassan’s actions, and Morocco was suspended for 32 years. On rejoining in 2017, Hassan’s son Mohammed VI (who succeeded his father in 1999, from the same Alaouite dynasty that built this palace) said “Africa is my home and I am coming back home”. Despite the above-named problems, Morocco is one of the most stable and peaceful countries in the Middle East and North Africa; the Arab Spring, which broke out in nearby Tunisia in 2011, has had little impact here, the reforming constitution of 2011 and the forward policies of Mohammed VI fulfilling the aspirations of for most Moroccans, who are leaving behind the old poverty. (The leading quote is from 2013 and as I write in 2024, things are much as they were then).

This has been a tourist attraction (as you can see, rather too many!) since Hassan II’s time; Lyautey and Mohammed V had lived here, but now it is a museum to Morocco’s rulers, who have shaken off their past, and to that tradition of ceramics which can also be seen in the bustling souk, subject of a later post.

Rima Hassan and Sihame Assbague have both been summoned to a questioning with the police because Zionist organization are accusing them of being terrorist advocates.

Rima is attacked because she is Palestinian (a very successful Palestinian woman on top of it) and because she is a candidate for the coming European election. So they are trying very hard to silence her. Cancelling campaign meetings, threatening her… Rima is also accused of supporting terrorism because as a jurist she keeps reminding that armed resistance is legal and that it’s a right. Both and Sihame are attacked because they tweeted about the historical context of October 7th which apparently makes them terrorists advocates.

I have my issues with Sihame (Western Sahara) and Rima has had to tone down a bit her speech now that she is a candidate to the European elections. But the way Zionists are trying to scare people into silence is disgusting.
