Its mother tongue is Amazigh and its history is full of events that contributed to creating a collective awareness for its people. It is the Moroccan Rif! A region that rejected colonialism and woke up in 1924 to Spanish army planes bombing it with mustard gas. When it dreamed of a state and revolted in 1958, its uprising was suppressed and its people were called thugs... The Riffians returned to the streets demanding social justice. But is their region really marginalized? Do they suffer from exclusion more than others in Morocco? Or are foreign hands using this file to destabilize the kingdom? And has their cause gone beyond the borders of North Africa? Visit our website: http://www.france24.com/ar/ Join our Facebook page: / france24.arabic Follow our official Twitter account / france24_ar
