King Mohammed V (1909-1961)

[Roshanah]

Dear Monalisa, The quotes:

"King Muhammed V father of King Hassan II had only one wife,Lalla Abla,who was a half black slave origin and not from a berber wealthy family,she was given to KMV as a gift from Glawi." and

"That's not true,all moroccan kings' wives wern't berber.King hassan II's mother was a half black slave originally from Marrakesh area!" Gave the impression that you were intimating that a person who was "Black" as you put it, couldn't be Berber unless they married into a Berber Family. If that's not what you intended, dispite the wording of the afore potsts, then appologies. It's true what you say about the Southern Part of Morocco indeed.

In addition, Senegal, Ghambia, Mauritania and 95% of Mali (as you may be aware) are where anchient Ghana used to be (we're neighbours yipeee.) The Sub and Super Sahara had trade ties and disagreements as they did and also mixed with Each other. The berbers of that particular area (during the time of ancient Ghana) were Brown skinned (I don't say Black because that was a derrogatory term used during the slave trade,) and mixed with ancient Ghanains. That's where my Berber roots begin. (addition evidence found in : The Ancient Kingdoms of Ghana, Mali and Songhay and Classical Splendour: Roots of Black History books. He he he Look forward to your picture of King Muhammad V's wife!


Let's start afesh, I'm Roshanah and love talking about Morocco and Ghanain Culture (pleased to meet a fellow Berber) and looking Bruniean Culture. Which forums are your favourite, apart from the Moroccan? :)

dear naima
i never said that she was bad or anything i only stated that i knew that she was of slave descent. i don't really believe everything that malika said in her book because she's been trough a lot of trauma and in those cases it is hard to remember precise details and even if she did i am sure that she made some changes to her storie to make it more interesting and appealing for the readers.
i have nothing against lalla Abla it doesn't matter to me if she was a slave or not she must have been very special for the king to marry her.
