Moroccan poet Legend

Beginning

Moroccan history is not devoid of pioneering women, leaders and fighters against colonialism and oppression. If you delve well into the volumes of collective memory, you will inevitably lead to personalities such as Kenza Berber, Zainab al-Nafawiya, Fatima al-Fihri and others who were known for king, leadership, leadership, asceticism, mysticism, as well as poetry. Famous women who had a special place in the popular imagination whose heroics were handed down orally from generation to generation.

Kharboucha, the rural woman, is considered a cultural and militant sign in Morocco during the 20th century. She faced the injustice of the Sultan and the leader with poetry, as she organized the poems that she used in public, not in secret, and mobilized people and encouraged them to confront his domination and arrogance, before he attacked her tribe, killing a number of them and imprisoning them. Others, including Kharboucha, whose life ended tragically.

The story of Kharboucha inspired many and stirred their desire to dig into history and heritage and aroused the interest of the scriptwriters. A movie was made about it under the same title “Kharboucha”, co-written by the brothers Abdel Basset and Khaled Al-Khodari, directed by Hamid Zoghi, in addition to a number of plays.
