Jaf used an insulting term towards the Spanish and presented Morocco as their “father,” claiming that Spain had suffered humiliations at the hands of Morocco over the last millennium and would always remain in a subordinate position. To support this claim, he cited the humiliation of Sagrajas in 1086, then the Ifni War in 1957, during which, according to him, Spain had sought the help of France. He also listed the battle of Consuegra — 1097, the battle of Uclés — 1108, the battle of Alarcos — 1195, the battles of Écija and Martos — 1275, the naval battle of Algeciras — 1278, the siege of Algeciras — 1278–1279, and the battle of Gibraltar — 1333. Jaf also mentioned the battle of the Three Kings (Oued al-Makhazin) — 1578, claiming that the Spaniards were then allied with the Portuguese in a crusade against Morocco sanctioned by the Pope. He continued with the battle of Barranco del Lobo — 1909, then several events from 1921: the fight of Abarrán, the siege of Igueriben, the battle of Anoual, the fight of Sidi Dris, the fall of Nador, the fall of Selouane, the fall of Zeluán, the surrender of Dar Quebdani, and the fall of Monte Arruit. Finally, he cited the fights of Tizi Azza — 1923, the Spanish retreat from Chefchaouen — 1924, and the Ifni War — 1957–1958. #Histoire #Maroc #Espagne (translated)
