The account of the incident presented by Sharīk in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Bukhārī, due to the even greater role Moses plays in it as compared to other accounts both in the same compilation and elsewhere, forms the basis of this investigation. In actively intervening on behalf of a nation not his own and changing their fate, Moses achieves a singularly monumental feat. Ibn ʿArabī’s assessment and explanation of Moses’ metaphysical rank puts this unprecedented intervention into cosmic context.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

Britain now had to forge a new relationship with this newly independent former French colony. Hence this article discusses the political relationship London developed with Algiers immediately after independence. The article, moreover, investigates a comparison between Algeria and Southern Rhodesia: the two settler colonies which underwent very difficult experiences in the process of decolonisation. The article further investigates how the two European colonial powers, France and Britain, dealt with the rights of Europeans and non-European subjects in these colonies of Algeria and Southern Rhodesia. The article concludes by looking at the initial British reaction to Algerian independence.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

Is the stability of Morocco during the Arab Spring due to the so-called Moroccan exception? This paper investigates the relationship between media and political, religious and social values in mobilizing or demobilizing young Moroccans. Using data from the World Values Survey, the political and social climate leading up the Arab Spring is analyzed. Salient questions relating to the role of the Moroccan youth are addressed based on analysis of data. Why are young Moroccans not asking for regime change like the many of their peers in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Syria? Is the nature of their political claims similar to or different from the claims of youth in other Arab countries?","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

Soviet–American competition for domination in Africa between the 1960s and 1980s is also discussed, as well as the reasons of the failure of Maoist China’s attempts to offer an alternative social and economic development model for African countries in the 1960s and 1970s. The rapid growth of the Chinese economy after 1978 created a considerable demand for new sources of raw materials. Africa appeared to be one of these sources. The disintegration of the USSR in 1991 in combination with the United States’ lack of interest in Africa in the 1990s provided additional opportunities for China to expand in Africa. Taking into consideration China’s promotion to one of the global superpowers and an increasingly important partner for Africa (which during the last several years has become one of the most economically dynamic regions), one might expect a future growing multidimensional competition for Africa between the United States and China (PRC).","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

Western leaders feared the invasion represented an attempt by Moscow to strengthen its grip on Eastern Europe and perhaps extend its influence elsewhere. As such, the future independence of non-aligned but communist Yugoslavia and its aging dictator Josip Broz Tito became a renewed concern. Tito, now 76 years old, had been a vocal critic of Soviet actions in Czechoslovakia despite a gradual improvement in relations with Moscow following the death of Stalin 15 years earlier. Nevertheless, gaining substantial influence in Yugoslavia with its long coastline offering access to the Mediterranean Sea was an attractive prospect to the Russians. Taking British policy towards Yugoslavia as a case study, this article explores Western reactions to the perceived Soviet threat in the region in the context of Cold War diplomacy.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

Only after 1842 did the Ottoman empire, newly returned to Tripoli, establish a token administration and limited military presence at one or two of the more important oases. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the Turks failed to consolidate their presence in Fezzan or, in the face of European encroachment from both the north and south, to reinforce vague territorial claims deeper into central Africa with any significant political or military presence. They thus left future colonial and independent regimes in Libya a legacy of unresolved questions over Fezzan’s southern frontiers and territorial extent.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.
