background

[Marocatlasgib4x4 Club]

In 788, about a century after the Arab conquest of North Africa, a series of Moroccan Muslim dynasties began to rule in Morocco. In the 16th century, the Sa'adi monarchy, particularly under Ahmad AL-MANSUR (1578-1603), repelled foreign invaders and inaugurated a golden age. The Alaouite dynasty, to which the current Moroccan royal family belongs, dates from the 17th century. In 1860, Spain occupied northern Morocco and ushered in a half century of trade rivalry among European powers that saw Morocco's sovereignty steadily erode; in 1912, the French imposed a protectorate over the country. A protracted independence struggle with France ended successfully in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier and most Spanish possessions were turned over to the new country that same year. Sultan MOHAMMED V, the current monarch's grandfather, organized the new state as a constitutional monarchy and in 1957 assumed the title of king. Morocco annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970s, but final resolution on the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990s resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature, which first met in 1997. Under King MOHAMMED VI - who in 1999 succeeded his father to the throne - human rights have improved. Morocco enjoys a moderately free press, but the government occasionally takes action against journalists who report on three broad subjects considered to be taboo: the monarchy, Islam, and the status of Western Sahara. Despite the continuing reforms, ultimate authority remains in the hands of the monarch. Influenced by protests elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa, thousands of Moroccans in February and March 2011 rallied in Rabat and several other major cities to demand constitutional reform and more democracy and to protest government corruption and high food prices. Police response to most of the protests was subdued compared to the violence elsewhere in the region. In early March, King MOHAMMED VI agreed to establish a commission to reform the country's constitution; a popular referendum held in early July 2011 overwhelmingly approved the new constitution. In late July, the King urged swift implementation of constitutional amendments, starting with the holding of parliamentary elections in 2011 instead of in 2012. Following August negotiations between election heads and nearly 20 political parties, the government settled on an election date of 25 November.

February 21, the celebration of nations and peoples in their mother tongue, because my language is my homeland, Amazigh, which is my tongue that I adopted from my mother's breast, and it is the only language that I found in my surroundings and my town.., The miraculous Amazigh that remains the strength of the mountains in The Amazigh countries have resisted for more than 33 centuries. It is the only language that has resisted all kinds of abolition, marginalization, prohibition, siege, distortion, forgery, mockery, and all kinds of vulgar things. It has won and continued for centuries without reading or writing in schools and institutes. The mother tongue succeeded, which still resists only today, and submits to oppression in its various forms, at the time when languages, piety and civilizations were extinct.

Morocco interested

Tafilalt is the largest oasis to be found in the whole of Morocco, and is located in the Drâa-Tafilalet region in the eastern part of the country. The name 'Tafilalt' literally means 'Jug' in Amazigh due to the impressive amount of fresh water that it contains. This oasis is entirely located along the Ziz River, and is renowned for its juicy and delicious dates. The town that is situated within the oasis was founded in 757AD by Moussa ben Nasser, the then-leader of the Miknasa Amazigh, and was also the birthplace of Morocco's Alaouite dynasty in the 17th Century. The most famous person to ever have been born here was Rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, more commonly known as Baba Sali.

Ibn Malik Tariff (The first commander who entered Andalusia before Tarik Ibn Ziyad):

The landing of Muslims at Tarifa is considered the beginning of Muslim presence in Andalusia. And if others consider it to begin only at the landing of Tarik Ibn Ziyad, we will tell them that it is following this expedition and the report of Tariff Ibn Malik that Tarik's expedition was given approval.

Ibn Malik tariff is Abou Zoraah Tariff ibn Malik from Barghwata tribe who lived near Rabat's current city, sea north of Wadi Oum Rabii, he was the leader of the tribe.

Tariff ibn Malik, as commander omayyades of Berber origin. He directed a raid on southern Iberia, then participated in the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in 711. The city of Tarifa bears his name.

From this raid, Edward Gibbon writes: ′′ One hundred Arab and four hundred Berberes passed aboard four ships, from Tangier or Ceuta, the place of their landing on the opposite bank of the strait is marked by the name of their leader 'Tariff' who is today the city of Tarifa. They started from there to recognize the land along the coast as a possible entry point for a wider attack, traveling 18 miles through a rugged country to the castle and the city of Julien, on which ( which one is still called Algezire) they baptized it by the name of the Green Island (Algeciras), from a Cape Verdoyant which advances in the sea ".

The final result was a successful raid in an unprotected part of Andalusia, followed by the safe return of looters accompanied by numerous loot and captive. This raid convinces Tarik that Iberia could be successfully invaded.

Tariff then accompanied Tarik Ibn Ziyad, when he launched Islamic conquest of Hispania and defeated King Roderic at the Battle of Guadalete in 711.
