"Even after brothels were banned in metropolitan France in 1946, French military authorities illegally brought hundreds of Moroccan women to France to work in ‘Bordels militaires de campagne’ because of the Moroccan soldiers still present in the metropole. With poor living conditions, underage labour and a high workload, French military brothels exploited Moroccan women to theoretically ‘protect’ European women against sexual violence from Moroccan men."

Catherine Phipps (2023): https://academic.oup.com/fh/article/37/3/254/7099482

CHEB I SABBAH - La Kahena

Funny reading this now, making a big deal about taking a whole *week* off from writing because of hectic Real World stuff. I actually didn't realize he'd passed away that same month.

I feel I should explore his stuff more, but get the sense he was more #DJ than #Producer. At least I got to see him headline a small festival once.

During a recent trip to Morocco, I made a series of drawings to document scenes I saw during each day.

I previously published 4 of these drawings here on Mastodon, but my article gives the drawings more context.

Shocked at the effects of the earthquake on the Tizi’n’Test. We have seen a lot of tents and a lot of cafes now collapsed at the side of the road.
Mustapha, who runs the cafe at the top of the pass we’re staying at was telling us 40 died in his village, 10 of whom in his wife’s family.
But it is importent to come here and spend money. Don’t stay away. Come, inject back into the economy.

#Morocco is grappling not just with the loss of lives from the recent earthquake, but with the destruction of its cultural heritage – among them a 12th-century mosque in the village of Tinmel.

For nearly 900 years, Tinmel was central to a distinctly Moroccan Islamic tradition, but the quake has thrown its future into doubt.

Last night I went to my #Masjid's celebration of #Mawlid, the commemoration of the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad SAWS. It was a quietly beautiful experience.

Communal #Prayer in small spaces where people like to chatter is challenging for us #Autistic people. I didn't have my AirPods with me last night to reduce noise. And in the past, repetitive phrases, chants, and so forth have done nothing to calm me down.

So it was real #Baraka (blessing) last night when the chatter and crowding didn't bother me. And the #Wird (praise and prayer in #Verse form) settled my mind down just a bit. Alhamdulillah.

Our #Masjid , the Mezquita Mayor of #Granada, #Spain, was founded by students of the late Shaykh Mohammad ibn al-Habib (may Allah SWT be pleased with him). He was one of the principal shuyukh of the #Darqawi #Tariqa #Sufi school of Fes, #Morocco. We chanted his wird (linked below) as we frequently do.

Its a strange world where the UK's Govt. is seeking to 'streamline' the planning process for the landing point of the world's longest subsea #electricity cable to underpin a 25 year deal to import #solar generated electricity from #Morocco, at the same time that it does little to ease the planning for #onshorewind & (through a lack of flexibility) undermines new #offshorewind projects...

That said, at this stage the project may never get going if the financing doesn't materialise!

My former Arabic teacher is a Moroccan who organizes tourist experiences that are actually invited by local communities and give people a chance to have meaningful cultural exchange experiences in areas like those hit worst by the earthquake. His organization has started a disaster relief effort in coordination with the communities he works with.

I can say he is someone I trust and respect a great deal, and really encourage anyone with a bit of money they can afford to give to send some to this disaster relief effort.
