The possibility of building a connection between the Iberian Peninsula and the African continent is once again on the table. However, it is not Spain that has taken up this initiative, which has been explored for almost half a century, but the United Kingdom. London, or rather Boris Johnson, is determined to take advantage of the trade opportunities that may arise from its new status as a former partner of the European Union. And connecting Gibraltar to Morocco through Tangier is one of them.

The British premier's cabinet would be considering, in collaboration with the Moroccan government, taking up a project that has already been started previously by Spain and Morocco, of a tunnel to connect the British Overseas Territory Gibraltar with the Moroccan city of Tangiers. At the time, Spain began the construction of the tunnel in Cadiz, but after two years, work on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar was abandoned due to maintenance problems and flooding.

In principle, the most plausible option is an underwater tunnel of about 30 kilometres long, similar to the Eurotunnel that connects the island of Great Britain with France, built at the end of the last century and with a length of 50 kilometres. In 2013, it is projected to exceed a turnover of more than one billion euros for the first time in its history, and it seems that the United Kingdom wants to repeat this engineering success and exploit its commercial potential.

Morocco would see this project in a good light, not only because of the facilities that this would bring for example to the always multitudinous operation of the Strait, when thousands of Moroccan citizens travel from different points of Europe to Morocco and collapse the port areas of southern Spain. In Rabat it is also seen as an option for boosting the commercial role of the north of the country in the respective Mediterranean areas, which is centred, among other things, on the port of Tangiers-Med, whose expansion was completed just a year and a half ago.

Relations between the two capitals have been strengthened in recent years, once the Brexit was confirmed as a new reality for the United Kingdom, as a means of diversifying and strengthening trade ties in an attempt to mitigate the economic impact of its withdrawal from the European Union.

Before coming to power, Boris Johnson, in his capacity as British foreign minister, was responsible for initiating this new strategic relationship with the Alaouite kingdom. He did so through a series of meetings with his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, in the British capital, where issues related to the economy, culture and security were discussed.

Moroccan agricultural products can replace Spanish, Portuguese and Italian products now that the United Kingdom is outside the EU, and this is just one of the areas where the two countries can come closer together. Of course, the tourism sector is another of them, and that is why Morocco is also investing heavily in its development in the north of the country, where the connection between Tangiers and Gibraltar could be a major incentive.

At last year's United Kingdom-Africa summit, it was already possible to see how well the Moroccan and British authorities were attuned to each other. During the summit, Morocco offered itself to the United Kingdom as a gateway to the African continent. This growing relationship was consolidated this past summer with the signing of several trade agreements between the two countries to reduce or directly eliminate tariffs on a number of fruit and vegetable products.

The Amazigh celebrates the Amazigh Year 2973 which is the second oldest year in the world after the Hebrew Year, a year which dates back to a great event, the Amazigh victory over the Pharaoh of Egypt led by the Amazigh King #cicung # زي # يغ # الملك and his victory over the Egyptian King Pharaoh #Ramses_r 3rd year 950 BC and this battle took place on The banks of the Nile River, after a failed attempt by conquering the eastern Amazigh lands, the Amazigh East Tamazigh surrendered to King Shishon, and with this great victory, the Pharaoh's throne was overthrown and the rule of the twenty-second family, and the rule of Amazigh over Egypt continued to the boundaries of the twenty-sixth family. Let them bring back the rule to the pharaohs. As the Amazigh year, or so-called January, coincides with the beginning of the agricultural season for the Amazigh, and the celebration became two victory celebrations and the celebration of the beginning of a good agricultural season, so all the peoples of North Africa celebrated this great event, whether the Amazigh speaking or the ones who are in the villages. And in cities and different names, some of them call him "Hakouza" and some of them Who also calls it #January, and some of them call it #TheFarmer Sunnah, and all of them are nouns that apply to the Amazigh Sunnah. The Amazigh year is different from other years, such as Hijri, Hebrew and Christianity, because it is not religious or dogmatic, it is a year related to a historical event, the Amazigh celebrates this year with a variety of foods and rituals, which are diverse and rich according to the regions and the type of agriculture common in their regions, but a Nak ma gather them where most of them celebrate couscous with seven vegetables, meat and silk and put in it A date seed and whoever finds it while drinking it is considered lucky and his year will be full of joys, pleasure and abundant sustenance .... Amazigh New Year's dishes are also characterized by dates, dried figs, and dry fruits, and these henna dishes are accompanied by young children and brides who are coming to marriage and with traditional dressing, and there is joy, dancing and singing, and among men, where families meet, this day is distinguished by them. The Lord of tea and talking about agriculture, matters of tribe and livestock, and as for the youth, they meet in Seminars or in gatherings, they discuss the history of the Amazigh nation with its events in the past and present, and the challenges that still hinder moving forward, and the problems that still oppose the formulation of the language and return the true history to schools instead of the fake one....

Thus, we address a word to all those who want to infiltrate religion to prohibit this noble habit that preserves the relationship of the merciful. The Amazigh is not another religion to prohibit everything related to it. We are here and we will remain here defending our origin with our head held high. We are the origin and we will continue to do so.

Happy new year to all the Amazigh of the world 2973

We will turn back the wheel of time to 1901 and sit in a classroom in France or Algeria. I wonder what the grandfather of Macron, Taboun, and Shenqriha taught about Morocco? Did they study the Kingdom of Fes and Marrakech in geography? Is there a lesson on western desert? How much is the area of Morocco and what are its borders? Let's see their decisions and let her be their witness..

Today's book is not the same as a historian wrote it. In fact, an official curriculum approved in all the schools of France and its colonies, which is a geography book for primary and secondary education, published in 1901, and remained approved for twenty years, and the teachers used to teach it to students in stages. Each state and region for educational level.. What interests us in the Morocco page and Algeria page.

Page 15

In a lesson about Africa, the judge says that the most important countries in Africa are:

EGYPT

Ethiopia Abyssinie

Morocco

And he doesn't mention any fourth important country in Africa.. So Morocco was an important country in Africa.. At her time called the so-called Yuti of the United States was still at the rank of colonel in the Oran region.

Page 27 today's lesson on the desert:

The largest desert of Africa in the world extends from the Amazigh tribes to Sudan, inhabited by the tribes of Tawareq, Maurine and Tibus, and most of their origins are Amazigh.

The most important areas in which Adrar, Twat, and Ain Saleh are under Morocco rule..

Look at the map of where the region of Twat and Ain Saleh of Morocco are located according to their testimony.

Page 32, a lesson about Algeria:

Algeria is our largest colony.. It has an area of about 500,000 square kilometers and has a population of 4 million people (Algerians and Europeans)..

And here I ask two questions:

How was the area of Algeria 500,000 km and became 2,381,000 square kilometers in 1962?

How can four million people, a quarter of them foreigners, leave 5 million martyrs?

Page 32... Geography lesson today, my dear children, about a country called Morocco:

Morocco is a country located in the northwest of Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, Algeria and the desert, with a population of 8 million people, the Amazigh, Arabs and Jews.

And he did not mention neither the Kingdom of Fes nor the Kingdom of Marrakech, nor did they grieve...

The rest of the lesson :

The regime in it is an empire with totalitarian rule.. Totalitarian Empire .. The ruler in it holds the title of honorable is the head of the state and at the same time its religious leader (meaning prince of believers).. And there are some tribes that do not submit to his authority.. The most important cities of the Empire at that time were Fes, Meknes, Souira and Tangier..

Fes, the capital of the Empire, with a population of 150,000 people, is an important commercial center, a holy city, Mecca and the city!!!

Agriculture: Morocco is the largest fertile land in the Arab world. It produces cereals, olives, fruits, dates, tobacco, and has livestock for goats, cows and sheep and they have world-renowned horses.

Industry and trade :

Industry in Morocco is not very developed and is oriented for domestic consumption..

The most important products: wool, zerabi, pottery, jewelry, leather products, and horseshoes. And the weapons...

The most important business partners.. They are Britain.. Done with France and Spain....

This is a summary of what the ancestors of Taboun, Shanqriha, and Macron used to preserve, and with them every French and every Algerian, and preserved it with their sons to divert himself from Morocco, and they tested it.

I hope you publish this blog for all those who will tell you in the future to make Morocco. Morocco has been a kingdom since the era of Asterix et Obelix, when the ancestors of Lyoti himself lived in the caves.

Thérèse River (1901-1970), an unknown ethnologist in Morocco. At the Ethnography Museum of Trocadero, from 1933 he was in charge of the department dedicated to White Africa and the Levante. In December 1934, she left with Germaine Tillion to Algeria, in the Aures, to conduct a sociological and ethnological investigation. 857 items were reported and 3000 photographs taken. Its archives on the Aures gather around twenty field "notebooks", the mission's linguistic questionnaire, the captions of its photographs, the inventories of the collected objects, the mission report, the publications planned and the texts of some lectures. The results of the mission will be presented in 1943 at the Museum of Man in the L'Aurès exhibition. Thérèse Rivière took thousands of photographs during her ethnographic missions, mainly in the Aures in Algeria (1934-1937) but also on short missions to Morocco (1937), again in Algeria (1937-1939) and Spain (1939). She mostly uses a Leica device. Starting in 1937, she preferred the Rolleiflex2, which she used according to the circumstances, favoring a "participative" vision presented as a "visual ethnographer both cartoonist and photographer". Missing with the deportation of Germaine Tillion, in 1942, and the long hospital lockdown suffered by Thérèse Rivière starting in 1948, the photographs were rediscovered in the early 2000s, but no text giving information about her missions to Morocco has ever been presented to this day.

This is a habit well known among Touaregs and desert inhabitants: when a Touareg is sleeping or resting, it draws a circle around it and puts its stick under it in a certain direction... What is the reason behind this???

When a Touareg is tired of the length of the road on a desert journey, it chooses a place to lie down or sleep to rest, it draws a circle around it to

immunize yourself against snakes, scorpions and other things, and this circle won't be surrounded by these insects and reptiles. Waking up on any road, it goes, especially when the place is flat and there are no signs, to avoid getting lost in the vast desert.

AT THE HEART OF THE ATLAS. Mission in Morocco 1904-1905.

By the Marquis of Segonzac, Emile Larose, Bookkeeper-publisher, Paris 1910. 800 pages,

with 178 photos, 14 cards in text 1899-1905.

This book can be consulted entirely online:

At the same time, a pack of maps at 1/250,000 was published giving the details and profile of the itinerary followed by the Segonzac Mission under the title: Itineraries in Morocco, 1904-1905. Ed. H. Barrier, Paris 1910.

Marquis René de Segonzac, former cavalry officer, worthy successor to Vicomte Charles de Foucauld (1882-1883), was one of the first French to face the unknown Moroccan. In 1899, it first entered by walking between Mogador, Agadir, Tiznit and Taroudant. In 1901-1902, he traveled all the north of the country, the Rif and especially the Beraber country, so far unexplored, of the Middle Atlas. He went to climb the giant of the Moroccan mountains, Ari Aïach (1), from which he descended, like waters, following the valley of Moulouia. At the end of 1904, for the mission assigned to him by the Committee of Morocco (2), the explorer acknowledged that the Middle and the Grand Atlas were well separated by a very sharp depression, as the hole of the Inaouen Oued clearly separated the Middle Atlas from the mountains from the Rif. The opposite valleys of the Moulouia and the oued el Abid, a tribute to the Um er Rebia, continued without the threshold raised between them presenting a serious obstacle. So there existed, between the plain of Marrakech and Algeria, the passage of a future trade route, a day exploited. Throughout the rest of his exploration, he made some interesting observations. His dangerous misadventure in the North of the Anti-Atlas that prevented him from pushing further south, to the Oed Noun, a prisoner of a chleuh, living half plunder and half the product of their gardens grown by slaves, the Marquis of Segonzac managed to be tolerated, then almost adopted, at point that he had some trouble avoiding becoming the son-in-law of his wife...geolier. The narrative of his captivity showed well what to think of the "Moroccan fanaticism" where he had as much admiration as fear for the Roumi thought capable of doing wonders. The captive was forced to practice medicine throughout the neighborhood, perhaps he owed life to the pharmacy box seized in his luggage. Reading even the most moving and dramatic pages of his book tracing his journey deserves the attention of PMs who wish to know the Moroccan South of another era... When we think about the conditions in which the Marquis of Segonzac travelled, we feel even more respect for his work. From Foucauld traveled through the Bled Siba disguised as a Jew, René de Segonzac made his last journey as a follower of a little sheriff who pretended to be the relative of the famous Ma el Aïnin. It is under the constant threat of betrayal that the elements of his extremely complete work were gathered. It took a remarkable unconsciousness to work in such conditions. We needed this beautiful skull, carefree in appearance but applied and serious, which characterized the best of the French at the time.

(1) At the time, the Tubkal had not yet been explored, Ayachi was considered the highest peak in Morocco.

(2) The Committee of Morocco included the societies of Geography Paris; Commercial Geography of Paris; Geography of North Africa (Algiers); Normandy Geography (Rouen); Geology of France; Association of French for the Advancement of Sciences; School of Anthropology Paris & Society Relief for the wounded soldiers.

Isla de Alborán (Spanish: Isla de Albourán) is a Spanish island located in the Mediterranean Sea, located roughly in the middle of the distance between the African and European coasts, and it is a part of the province of Malaga. Its area is 0.0712 km2 and its maximum height is 15 m. The sea part that stretches between it and the Strait of Jabal Tariq is called Al-Burhan Sea.

Location of the Island

The island of Burhan, whose name is written to the island of Bran, according to the way it is pronounced in Spanish, known by them with the same name in the Mediterranean Sea, 56 km north of the head of the hip, located on the beach of the Bani Shekar tribe in the direction of Kart, is a rock island formed by a volcano, which is approximately a triangle of shape and its surrounding is estimated by 3 kilometres. Given its volcanic rock nature, the vegetation cover is almost non-existent as there are no trees but some grasses growing above its surface. One of the most important meeting points for fugitives between my Middle Bank.

The border dispute.

Morocco refuses to recognize the legitimacy of Spanish rule on the island of Bran, the two cities of Sabata and Melilla and the Jaafria Islands (Spanish: Chafarinas). Morocco is demanding Spain to enter into direct negotiations with it to restore Spain, which it considers one of the last colonial strongholds in Africa, but the region has not been classified as an occupied territories by the United Nations.

Landmarks.

The island currently has a lighthouse, a building owned by some members of the Spanish Army, a small harbor and a place for helicopters to land.
