@RIODELBURRO93A If that is the case, we will anticipate that the Moroccan government and RAM take the correct steps to prohibit this type of behavior soon.

@owen11154 You said "state airline" as if the Moroccan state handpicks who gets to fly with RAm.
RAM is one of largest airlines in Africa and the single largest in the Western side of the continent.
It would make perfect sense for someone traveling from Colombia to Cameroon to take RAM.

Moroccan state airline transported Colombian mercenaries to fight for the RSF in Darfur. If this is not an oversight, this means another continental player has gotten themself involved in this war.

Africa Intelligence reports that 10 Colombian mercenaries arrived in the Central African Republic 🇨🇫 on 1 May aboard a Royal Air Maroc Boeing 737 from Casablanca 🇲🇦 to Bangui via Douala 🇨🇲, before travelling on smaller aircraft to Birao and later crossing into Nyala, Sudan 🇸🇩.

Why hasn’t Captain Traoré shut down the Burkinabè airline transporting military equipment (and allegedly Hemedti himself) from the UAE to RSF bases in Ethiopia? sudantribune.com/article/311170

🛰 An IL-76TD cargo aircraft was observed yesterday departing from Harar Meda Airbase in Ethiopia 🇪🇹, as seen in Sentinel-2L satellite imagery. It is believed to be Batot Air’s 🇧🇫 XT-ABN, which arrived earlier from Al Reef Airbase in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪.

This looks amazing and relevant. It's interesting just how involved Penguin was in the anti Apartheid struggle. The convenor, Ronald Segal, edited the Penguin African Library which was strongly anti Apartheid / anticolonial. It featured many Marxist revolutionaries as authors.

i visited the exact same park last summer and its such a good place for a sunny day
Owen@owen11154
My first morning in Algiers I woke up and went for a walk, stumbled across this park and was shocked by how many cats were there. Must have been around 50.

@owen11154 @Sahelianist After the battle of Lepanto in 1571 not the mid-17th century
And always remember the context: during the same period , London barely had any direct authority on Ireland or Scotland if not allegiances!
Same in France and the rest of Europe
Even in Anatolia close to Istanbul,

No, the Ottomans already bordered West African/Sahelian kingdoms yet were defeated by Bornu in 1585 and multiple times by Funj.
Morocco didn’t prevent nor save anything. Ottoman fear is what drove it to invade a Songhai under deep civil war.

Morocco prevented Ottomans from reaching West Africa

@SidAliRais But I just double checked to make sure, the Gourara (close to where you claim) was where state sovereignty stretched down to.

@owen11154 @Sahelianist My source is my childhood in the small town in Northern West Algeria: I grew up in a Kouloughli family and we kept oral tradition of the Gold Road:
Salah Reis reached In Salah and secured the trade raods and the city is named after him: A well of drinking water.
English
@SidAliRais @Sahelianist Yes, the correct statement would be that Algeria since the mid-17th century was a military republic led by a council of corsairs and notables.
English
@owen11154 @Sahelianist Regency is a colonial French invention to belittle Algerians and claim that there was no organized state in Algeria
And if so, why are there 63 diplomatic treaties between France and Algeria before 1830 and what were the French consuls doing in Algeria?

The sad thing is that the park you see (Freedom Park) is in a really sorry state compared to what it was back in the days (late 60s early 70s)

This is not Paris in France or Barcelona in Spain. This is a neighborhood in Algiers, Algeria 🇩🇿, Africa.

Its amusing when people pretend like Israel is scrutinized because its Jewish when the FLN achieved pretty decent international recognition even in the 1st world (hard to name a country there w/o a Maghreb/Algeria committee, even as far Japan u had these) nd France wasnt jewish.

“The Secretary-General of the Azawad Liberation Front, Bilal Ag Acherif, denied that the Azawad movements have adopted secularism, affirming that the Front has never adopted secularism, and emphasizing that Islam constitutes its primary reference.”

#مالي | نفى الأمين العام لجبهة تحرير أزواد "بلال أغ الشريف" تبني الحركات الأزوادية للعلمانية، مؤكداً أن الجبهة لم تعتمد العلمانية يوماً، ومشدداً على أن الإسلام يمثل مرجعيتها الأساسية. وأوضح أن مجتمع أزواد "مجتمع متدين والإسلام فيه كامل متكامل الأركان قائم على الوسطية" وهي المنهجية التي تلتزم بها "جبهة تحرير أزواد" (#FLA) حتى اليوم. وفي ما يتعلق بالحوار مع جماعة "نصرة الإسلام والمسلمين" (#JNIM) أشار إلى أن النقاشات ارتكزت على أن القضايا المتعلقة بالشريعة والفتوى والمفاهيم الدينية تُترك لأهل الاختصاص من العلماء والأئمة المحليين في أزواد بحيث يكون ما يتوصلون إليه هو الأساس الذي يُبنى عليه العمل المشترك. وأضاف أن الجبهة تعتمد في المسائل الفقهية والشرعية على المرجعية الدينية المحلية من العلماء والأئمة من أبناء أزواد فيما يتعلق بتطبيق الشريعة والقضايا الشرعية. وتتوافق هذه التصريحات مع ما كشفه الصحفي "وسيم نصر" خلال حديثه لقناة قناة "فرانس 24" حيث أوضح أن اللقاء الذي جمع بين جماعة "نصرة الإسلام والمسلمين" و"جبهة تحرير أزواد" بوساطة رابطة من العلماء وطلبة العلم المحليين ناقش إنشاء هيئة شرعية مشتركة تضم فقهاء وقضاة للإشراف على معالجة الخلافات بين الطرفين مع الإبقاء على الهيئات القضائية الخاصة بكل جماعة والتوافق على تحكيم الشريعة الإسلامية في المناطق الخاضعة لنفوذهما. #حميد_القوسي إكس | X x.com/Hamid_alqawsi تليجرام | Telegram t.me/hamid_alqawsi_2

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin.
An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.

a good book on the instrumentalization of religion by a nominally 'secular' arab regime & what it usually entails

Isn't this massive double standards? What does Islamist mean now? What does "secular" mean now?

I am going to use this as an opportunity to provide some sources on the history Western Sahara and the formation of Sahrawi National Identity:
Owen@owen11154
@Jesuislibis @kroketrendang Sahrawi national identity is erased and Morocco imported hundreds of thousands of settlers in order to purposefully interfere with an independence referendum. The Moroccans deny the Sahrawis self-determination and their participation in Moroccan society is contingent on them
