Tijd voor een geschiedenis lesje over Tanger🧵
Time for a history lesson for this woman from Tanger that is insulting Riffians and saying they are not Moroccan
After the resumption of tangier by jaysh Al Riffi (armed corps from various Rifian tribes in the service of Moulay Ismail) they will rebuild and populate the city of tangier with their families.
The head of the counter Ahmed Pasha Riffy will become Pasha of Tangier
Most of these mujahideen families were seen to agglomerate towards the suburbs of the city (fahs) where they evolved as a tribal entity born from the guiche jaysh Al riffi
Jbala elements will integrate the tribe over time, as will a continuous migration of the riff
At the beginning of the 20th century many were still aware of their Riffian origins, and spoke Tarifit and Arabic in Tangier.
Certain Riffian tribes played a major role in liberating Tanger from British occupation in the 17th century. The mujahidin succeeded and expelled the British from the area, after which they rebuilt and repopulated the city.
