Of the evidence on Moroccan Western Sahara

By: Moulay Ali Elmghari

Since childhood, I do not understand how the Western Sahara is claimed to be not Moroccan. If Morocco were a country that was not, I would have said ... But Morocco is a month of knowing fire, and how is it not one of the twins who survived the crusade against Andalusia? The State of Morocco remained the sole heir to the Islamic civilization of the West.

 It has found that the "Moroccan state, the central state," which began with Al-Idrisa and developed and developed by the Almoravids and then the Almohads, Marinids, Saadian and Alawites increased their area and protect their borders and serve their citizens for more than a thousand years, And its inhabitants are Albayba racists and the Moroccan state of the Sahara tribes are sponsored by the listener.

Bayah was from the center of the Iberian Peninsula to the River of Senegal, and then after the fall of Andalusia was from Tangier and Sebta to the river of Senegal, and later it is said that Western Sahara is not Moroccan.

When Moroccans, Fez, Tangier, Meknes, Oujda, Sijammassa and others, we rely on many historical, legal and political arguments. The countries that followed the rule of Morocco from the 11th century Many of the travelers, geographers and historians who toured the desert confirmed the geographical, linguistic, cultural, religious, ethnic, political and economic connection between the central Moroccan state and the Sahara, and that the Sahrawi tribes were in a relationship of allegiance with this country Since the Moroccan atheist century AD (stationed, and the Unitarian and Meridinide and Saadian and Alawites).

Many scholars and scholars of history and civilizations have attributed the length of the Moroccan state to five or six consecutive central states, most of which originated from the Sahara. This association remained strong for more than ten centuries. "The Sahara created the history of ancient Morocco" , How can the Sahara not be Moroccan.

The Moroccan Sahara was a key player in Moroccan political history, where the Moroccan sultans were keen to strengthen ties between them and their subjects in the desert in southern Morocco, and appointed their successors to preserve their security and care for the interests of their inhabitants.

The governors and successors of the Moroccan sultans took care of the Sahara and the south of Morocco to build roads and protect them from the bandits, in addition to taking allegiance, collecting zakat and collecting taxes, drilling wells, building mosques, angles and other tasks. Between them were major economic interests through trade convoys and deep diplomatic relations. The Moroccan Sahara was the bridge between the north of the African continent (central Morocco) and the Kingdom of Sudan and the rest of the continent.

The result of this historical narrative is that the Sahrawi and southern Moroccan tribes in the desert to the Senegal River were in constant contact and continuous interaction with the Moroccan state politically, economically, religiously, socially, culturally and spiritually.

This is the slogan of the immortal Moroccans about their Saharans: "Morocco is in its deserts, and Sahara is in Morocco."

The constant historical evidence of the Sahara and southern Morocco was a permanent part of the central Moroccan state:

- Appointing and isolating the governors, caliphs and pimps in the desert regions to be from the Moroccan sultans through correspondence with the sheikhs and elders of the Saharan tribes in southern Morocco.

- Travel of the Moroccan sultans to the southern Moroccan and visit the desert tribes and receive the legitimacy of them.

- The recognition of the great powers of the European Sahara Sahara remained constant until World War I, such as Britain, France and Spain, which was confirmed through the diplomatic corps and treaties between them and the Moroccan state, or in the agreements between them such as the British-French secret agreement on August 5, 1980, Which stipulated the Moroccan Sakia El Hamra and Wadi El Zahab.

Among the examples preserved by history, which indicate the eternal and eternal link between Morocco and its Sahara is the model of the resistance and the mujahideen world, Sheikh Maaïlin, his heroic resistance to the French and Spanish occupation, and the great jihad carried out by the Sahrawi tribes against the European occupier for half a century. Duration of full control over the Moroccan Sahara and benefit from its wealth and the vulnerability of its loyal people.

In the name of the Sultan, he resisted the European occupier in the name of the Sultan and ordered him to fulfill his pledge of allegiance to the sultans of Morocco. He also sought the economic aid and the military extension of the kings and sultans of Morocco to push the occupier and preserve the Moroccan Sahara from the greed of colonial powers at that time. Fourteen visits to meet the kings of Morocco, most of which was in the city of Marrakech.

In a visit to Sultan Moulay Hassan I in 1890, Sheikh Sultan Maulayeen addressed the Prophet, saying: "Moulay Abderrahmane ibn Hisham made you his son, and Sultan Sidi Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman considered you his brother, and I take you as my father."

"Morocco is easy and mountain, hills and valleys, sea and ocean, sky and desert. If the Sahara is not Moroccan, there is no planet called Earth."
