On the outskirts of the eastern Rif, a white-domed building stands alone on one of the hills of Temsamane. For centuries, it is within the mausoleum of Sidi Chaïb Ouneftah that the oral tradition of izran has flourished. Passed down primarily by women, it forms a living chronicle of history and society, sung in verse and voiced on every occasion. It is an emancipatory cry that continues to define this age-old landmark.
A symbolic marathon will link Targuist to Tamassint on September 27, 2025, organized by the Habiba & Ahmed Foundation with support from the Rif Memory Association. More than just a sporting event, it is a collective initiative that blends remembrance with action, aiming to spread a message of peace and reinforce the bonds between generations of migrants from Morocco and Belgium.
