Moroccan Minister Reminds of Ceuta Before King on Mawlid
The article focused on recalling Moroccan Minister of Islamic Affairs Ahmed Tawfiq during an official speech in front of King Mohammed VI in the city of Ceuta. He emphasized its religious history and its connection to the Moroccan scholars' legacy, making a symbolic reference to the book "Dala'il al-Khayrat" by Imam al-Jazuli, considered a symbol of Sufism and national mobilization for the liberation of cities occupied along the Atlantic coast. This came amid rising political tensions between Morocco and Spain over the occupied cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The timing of the reference coincided with a wave of mass border crossings into Ceuta from Morocco and Moroccan statements supporting Moroccan claim over the two cities, while Spain reaffirmed its sovereignty. This ongoing dispute remains a significant part of Morocco's historical and political consciousness, and the timing of the speech underscores the symbolic importance and political stance amid the recent tensions over the two cities.
