Prowess of Moroccan Resistance against French Colonization

The High Commissioner for Former Resistants and Former Members of the Liberation Army in Morocco has released a new collective publication entitled "The Battle of Ait Abdallah against the French Colonization."

The book gathers the works of a scientific symposium organized to discuss and preserve the research efforts exploring the great patriotic struggle and prowess of the Moroccan resistance.

The 257-page book compiles several studies carried out by a group of intellects active in the historic landscape of Morocco. It seeks to deepen discussions over the Moroccan resistance, in addition to expanding the research on the battle of Ait Abdallah against the French colonization.

The chapters of the book explore many aspects of resistance and studies about "the French colonial campaign on the Little Atlas and Ait Abdallah in the French Documents between 1912 and 1934," and "Resistance in Souss in the Moroccan Amazigh Poetry."

The High Commissioner said that it published the book as part of its goal to highlight the history of some regions and parties, and their battles and heroes who were not served justice by historians.

The Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) launched on Thursday its participation at Expo 2025 Osaka with the “Wonders of Arabia” exhibition, prominently featured within the Kingdom’s pavilion.

Running from July 10 to 16, the event also marks the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan.

The “Wonders of Arabia” exhibition features diverse sections designed to immerse visitors in the heart of the Kingdom. Guests can experience Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage through interactive displays, engaging photo booths, and live demonstrations of both Saudi and Japanese calligraphy.

Workshops are also offered on traditional handicrafts, including pottery making and decorative arts.

Dedicated zones highlight the unique attractions of Diriyah, Riyadh, Aseer, Jeddah, the Red Sea, and AlUla.

A striking “Origami Camel” sculpture serves as a symbolic representation of the deep cultural ties between the two nations.

The event includes a special collaboration with the iconic Japanese character Doraemon. As part of this partnership, the first 250 visitors daily who participate in the exhibition’s competitions will receive limited-edition Doraemon items.

Sports enthusiasts are invited to take photos inside a recreation of the locker room of global football star Cristiano Ronaldo and explore his personal recommendations for Saudi Arabia’s top destinations.

The exhibition also offers an interactive virtual reality experience simulating Formula 1 races.

Additional features include dedicated highlights on the Esports World Cup, currently underway in Riyadh, and the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2034, to be hosted by Saudi Arabia.
