    This video is a precious historical archive! I'm a 69 yrs old Tetouanese, and it reminds me of my childhood.This was 2 years before our Independence. But I remember those years were when Moroccans were protesting for the return of the King from his exile in Madagascar,and he did. And my family was one amongst all Moroccan families who went out to the streets to protest against occupation. I was in the girl scouts, in spite of my young age... That's why I still remember! Thanks for this video!

      Thank you for the kind words. I'm delighted to share this with you and your fellow Moroccans, this film would likely have sat forgotten if I had not found it. Do you know who the important person is in the car that departs at 5 minute 44 seconds?

    • @lailaelkhatb

      It was impossible to see who was in the car. But due to the car looking quite official, it must have been Mouley Hassan ben Mehdi Alaoui , who ruled the north of Morocco while Mohammed V was in exile. When the came returned, he resigned and later was appointed governor of the Bank of Morocco. He remained governor until his death About 30 years later. He was the most humble personality who ever ruled!

    Tetouan is such a beatiful town. It's the most authentic of all Maghrebi-Andalusian medinas. Too bad that it's in such a bad shape today, in terms of cleanliness. But that comes with being as authentic as Tetouan is. It really does transport you back to 15th century Maghreb and Granada.

    This is wonderful! Thank you for giving me a glimpse into the past of my beloved city. I can’t tell when this was filmed. I was born in 1975 and this looks exactly like the city of my childhood years, especially the old Medina ( El Feddan) and ( Bab El 3oqla). The video also reminded me of the traditional dress for women ( el Hayek) and ( eltam) that are no longer worn. The bernous ( or cape) worn by some men in the video is also not in fashion anymore. I am sharing this video with my mum, who I am sure will have a lot to say about it. Thank you again for sharing!

      Maha, I'm delighted. I hope your mum enjoys it as well. Please feel free to share from my channel, however I ask that no one copy it. I have had to deal with several individuals who felt it was their right to do this. I can assure everyone, I will have takedown requests initiated. I go to great lengths to preserve these film reels and to share them. Downloading/copying them and reposting as their own is wrong. Full stop.

    I am personally amazed by the number of people and details I could use to decipher so many things. We have consistently studied history and probably watched many things similar here and there but this one is not only good quality but also amazing in terms of content.

    Spanish Morocco

    • @ReelLifeCanada
      @ReelLifeCanada  3 роки тому +4

      Yes you are right. The Spanish protectorate consisted of a northern strip on the Mediterranean and the Strait of Gibraltar, and a southern part of the protectorate around Cape Juby, bordering the Spanish Sahara. The northern zone became part of independent Morocco on 7 April 1956, shortly after France ceded its protectorate (French Morocco). Spain finally ceded its southern zone through the Treaty of Angra de Cintra on 1 April 1958, after the short Ifni War. The city of Tangiers was excluded from the Spanish protectorate and received a special internationally-controlled status as Tangier International Zone. source: Wikipedia
