North Africa: The movement for the independence of the Rif Republic makes its first summit in Algeria, some excerpts from the speaker "Juba Al-Ghdiwi":
-
We will have a visit to the pure land of the Rif republic when it is liberated from the filth of the Alawites, and this is a dream that will come true just as our ancestors achieved it more than 100 years ago.
-
The Republic of the Rif was an existing political entity that enjoyed independence before it was taken from it, which highlights the historical legitimacy and legal legitimacy of the Rif people’s demand to restore what was stolen from them.
-
The independence of the Republic of the Rif was between 1921 and 1926. It was established as the first independent republic in North Africa under the leadership of President Muhammad bin Abdul Karim al-Khattabi.
-
The Republic of the Rif was subjected to international conspiracies and the collusion of internal and external colonial powers, which led to its suppression and the return of the Rif to colonial control, and then by the Moroccan functional regime that imposed its hegemony, after the so called the independence of Morocco in 1956.
-
The independence of the Rif Republic is the restoration of a legitimate right, not a new demand, and the people of the countryside do not want secession, but rather the restoration of their right that was taken by force.
-
The Rif does not seek to separate from Morocco. Separation means that we were once part of this functional entity called Morocco, an entity created and implanted within the African body to serve the interests of the colonial powers.
-
We in the Republic of the Rif have never recognized the sovereignty of the Moroccan regime over our land, and how can we recognize a regime created by French colonialism and guaranteed its continuation through slavery agreements, most notably the protection treaty signed in 1912, according to which the Alawites handed over the Sultanate of Marrakesh to French colonialism in exchange for their remaining at the helm of power as obedient hands. In the hands of colonialism.
-
Since its inception, this entity has served, and continues to serve, external agendas at the expense of the peoples it claims to represent, which is clearly evident in its continued oppression of the people of the Rif and the people of Western Sahara.
-
Morocco and its Alawite Sultan were never on the side of the free peoples or on the side of the Rifites defending their homeland. Quite the opposite. Sultan Youssef the Alawite was an ally of the French and Spanish colonial powers against the Rifites and contributed directly to the fight against the Rif Republic, which was a symbol of dignity and freedom.
More context: The Rif people: North African Amazigh group, speaks Rif dialect of Amazigh, are Sunni Muslims.
The Rif republic: a republic that was established from 1921 unti 1924 by Al-Khattabi.
Map of the Rif region
The people of the Rif have been repressed by the monarchy and protesting for a long time, the region is mountainous which is perfect for guerilla warfare, they're on the northern coast and aren't landlocked. But, personally I don't see it going far, but they have an opportunity of taking action against zionism, doing stuff against zionist ships docking or assassinating zionist figures.
