Time to relax around the swimming pool before setting off with our cameleer at 3pm (September to May) or 4:30pm (June, July & August) on our ships of the desert for some 2½ hours towards the south-west through the oases and kasbahs at Amezrou and Sart and the Jewish Cemetery in Asrir Ignaoûn, to cross the Oued Drâa leading onto the Fajia Plain. As the air has heated up and the winds have risen to make the sand swirl about us, you’ll notice that older dunes appear darker, for the iron in the sand has finally oxidised. We sway on across the Reg until we reach our established nomads’ black-tented bivouac site at Tillougui nestling amidst some small dunes in a private oasis. Whilst we settle in to enjoy an awesome sunset (rare cloud cover permitting), our traditional welcoming mint tea is taken; our dinner for the evening is prepared to be enjoyed under the immeasurable canopy of the starlit heavens.

  • MOROCCO by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (Updated April 2018)
    MOROCCO by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (updated April 2018) Summary of Reparations Efforts and Programs Morocco has a reparations program to address the period of authoritarianism from 1959 through 1999. Reparations measures have drawn on truth commission recommendations, which have only bound the government to implement the ones related to compensation. In addition to compensation, programs have included community reparations for collective harms suffered by certain communities as a result of repression, lack of public services, or the presence of state detention centers. Context From 1961 to 1999, King Hassan II ruled Morocco and many gross human rights violations occurred, especially enforced disappearances, under his regime.1 Moroccan officials denied these violations until domestic and international pressure prompted Hassan II to constitute the Advisory Council on Human Rights (ACHR)2 in 1990.3 In 1998, the investigation announced its findings that during Hassan II’s reign, 112 Moroccans were disappeared, 56 of whom were dead. Accepting the conclusions, Hassan II charged the ACHR with constructing a plan to solve the outstanding cases within six months.4 As the ACHR performed its duties, Morocco experienced other significant human rights advances. Following international pressure, in 1991, Hassan II closed and demolished Tazmamart, a notorious secret detention center, and released the 341 prisoners detained there.5 That same year, he also approved a reparations program for the families of disappeared persons.
