 Chapter 51: The Invasion of Africa by the Moslems.
The early conversion of Abdallah, and his skilful pen, had recommended him to the important office of transcribing the sheets of the Koran: he betrayed his trust, corrupted the text, derided the errors which he had made, and fled to Mecca to escape the justice, and expose the ignorance, of the apostle.
At the pressing solicitation of his brethren, Abdallah withdrew his person from the field; but the Saracens were discouraged by the retreat of their leader, and the repetition of these equal or unsuccessful conflicts.
Abdallah was said to unite the fierceness of the lion with the subtlety of the fox; but if he inherited the courage, he was devoid of the generosity, of his father.

 Silva Mediterranea - Report of the 15th Session
The aim of the "Man and Biosphere Programme" (MAB), established by Unesco in 1971, is to obtain a better understanding of how ecosystems work and to ensure rational use of their resources, their conservation, and the ecological management of areas under human influence.
Whatever their initial aim, all of them have gradually introduced a component on the impact and role of woodlands in protecting the environment and improving the quality of life.
If the aim is to protect much-frequented woodlands, tourists should be channelled to specially-adapted and equipped areas (even if these areas lose some of their natural charm as a result).

 History of the Jews in Morocco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dependence of Morocco upon the Caliphate of Baghdad ceased in 788, when, under the Idris ibn Abdallah (known as Idris I), the dynasty of the Idrisids, the descendants of Ali, was founded and proclaimed its independent rule over Morocco.
The Jews undertook a political role in the history of the subjection of Morocco to Idris I. After he had conquered Tangier and Volubilis, he wished to induce the Jewish tribes, which were inclined to remain faithful to the caliph of Bagdad, to join his army.
This edict of emancipation was confirmed by Mohammed IV's son and successor, Moulay Hasan I, on his accession to the throne 1873, and again on September 18, 1880, after the conference in Madrid.

Thus, in the present instance, the sealing on behalf of the Emperor of Morocco of the original treaty written in the "book," with the delivery thereof, was deemed a finality on the part of Morocco.
A letter from Congress to the Emperor of Morocco notified the ratification of the treaty; the same letter indicates that it had been published and proclaimed (Secret Journals of Congress, IV, 365, July 23, 1787).
A treaty with Morocco was there regarded as to some degree personal on the part of the ruling Emperor, at least to the extent of requiring confirmation or recognition by a successor.

 Haratin in Morocco are indigenous ''black'' cultivators in southern Morocco - EgyptSearch Forums
Its use in some regions of Morocco to designate dark skinned persons is contrasted with the word for white skinned persons, amazigh,5 which is also the word one group of Berber people use to self-identify.
Without a doubt, the Haratin?s historical occupation of the oasis region in southern Morocco, along with their social isolation in their respective communities, and their own assertion of autonomy, all support the conclusion that the Haratin are an indigenous group.
The colonial period in Morocco presented many people with unforeseen opportunities to migrate in search of seasonal work in the cities of Morocco, Algeria, and eventually Europe.120 The exploitative labor conditions that the Haratin were exposed to in the qsar made work outside of it attractive.
