Citaat door manipulator:hahahaha, Jballa zijn dus echt geen berbers/riffie's, jballa zijn de arabieren van noord marokko die zich naast de berberbevolking hebben gevestigd, k ben zelf een jebli en kan het weten, en verder voel ik me helemaal geen riffie.
dus voor de onwetende riffijntjes die hun volk en gebied zogenaamd willen uitbreiden; doe dat aub niet met de jballa want wij zijn arabieren.
.
Wat weet jij nou van marokko af en spreek voorje zelf en niet voor de jabala.........
Rif
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berbers Portal
This is about a region in Morocco: RIF is also an acronym/initialism.
The Rif (/Arif in Berber, er-Rif الريف in Arabic) is a mainly mountainous region of north Morocco, from Cape Spartel and Tangier in the west to Cape Tres Forcas (Ras Tleta Madari) and Melilla in the east, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the river of Ouargha in the south. It is part of the Cordillera Bética that also includes the mountains of Southern Spain. The Rif mountains are not part of the Atlas Mountain Range. Rif might have its origin in Arif, a Berber word or from Arabic language meaning countryside.
The people of the Rif are Berbers of north Morocco who call themselves Imazighen.
Nador city centerMajor Rif cities include Nador and Al Hoceima (Also called Biya), Azghenghan, Selwan, Ajdir, Tangiers, Tetouan (originally, was called Tittawin), Tawrirt and Taza, while Melilla and Ceuta though in Spanish hands, are geographically and liguistically parts of it. Achaouen or Ashawen is worth visiting, but Ketama (also known as Issaguen) is known as the center of the hashish trade and is likely not an ideal destination however it possesses great panoramic landscapes. The term "reefer", for marijuana, is derived from Rif.
