Landless Moroccans

Overview

In February 2014, at the heart of a chic neighbourhood in Rabat, police forces forcefully destroyed the homes of Douar Ouled Dlim‘s inhabitants. Refusing to leave their land, the inhabitants have lived since in makeshift camps made of plastic tarp. In the last 2 years, they held several demonstrations and protests and filed multiple administrative appeals, attempting to claim their right to be relocated. Abandoned and left to themselves, Douar Ouled Dlim’s residents refuse to leave their lands. “We will give nothing away”, they repeated one after the other. From demonstrations to occupations, the people of Douar Ouled Dlim continue fighting, in spite of the international silence and indifference, in order to ensure the survival of the memory of the great Guich Loudaya tribe. Ultimately, they all wonder “wach hna maghrba – are we still citizens?”.
