TIA&TW - The Kingdom of Morocco - Country Overview

Episode 2507: The Kingdom of Morocco - Country Overview
This week on This Is America & The World, Dennis Wholey travels to North Africa to begin a visit to the Kingdom of Morocco. While in Morocco’s capital city of Rabat, Dennis visits the city’s Museum of History and Civilizations to get a sense of Morocco’s historical role in the expansion of human civilization. To learn about Morocco today as well as the historic US/Morocco relationship, Dennis visits U.S. Consul General to Casablanca, Lawrence M. Randolph. Their conversation explores Morocco’s importance to the region, its role in the world as well as what Americans can expect when exploring the rich history and modern culture of the Kingdom of Morocco.

@@leserrors7669 it's quite foolish to make this comparison, as history is very complex and the variables at play are quite numerous, Morocco Was a Great Empire throught history, and today it is one of the stongest most sophisticated countries in the region, and the future is going to be even greater.

[@omardaoudi6050]

Morocco is more than 12 century of continuous history. All our american brothers are more than welcome to discover a magical land

[@brianmcdew5826]

Never knew this rich history. I’m American can’t wait to visit Morocco soon.

[@TheAlmohads]

"The History of Morocco spans over 12 centuries, without considering the Classical antiquity. The country was first unified by the Idrisid dynasty in 789, representing the first Islamic state in Africa autonomous from the Arab Empire. Under the Almoravid dynasty and the Almohad dynasty, Morocco dominated the Maghreb and Muslim Spain.[1][2]" - References: [1] - Michel Abitbol, Histoire du Maroc, Paris, Perrin, 2009 [2] - Jean Brignon, Guy Martinet, Bernard Rosenberg, Histoire du Maroc, Hatier, 1967

[@smoreno5532]

Morocco Isn't Arabic, they are North African

[@Amurjojo]

@@smoreno5532 Morocco is with arab unit so yuh it is arab country+ Arabic is a language

[@ayoubberrhili7244]

@@Amurjojo Morocco is a blended country with history, that expand from Spain and France to the Middle East. That doesn’t then making Morocco Arabic. And Moroccan doesn’t speak Arabic completely, like what you see in Saudi Arabia or Egypt. It’s an dialect, where Moroccan includes France and Spanish words too. Just because Morocco is United with the Arabs, doesn’t mean it makes them arab. It’s all about politics, and politics doesn’t describe us. It’s very disrespectful to make our history so squarish and simple by saying we’re Arabs. Our history includes berbers as the originally people, Spanish as the moors, who immigrated, France who stayed after the colonization and Arabs who discovered North Africa and learned us about Islam

Some people are so nice that you want to listen to them like that consulate.

[@Sumotori.]

I was fortunate enough to have extra lessons in the “ American Language Center” , part of “ American general consulate” in Casablanca in late 70s. Thank you Mr. Dennis Wholey for your efforts, and don’t forget “ Rafissa”. As a Moroccan, I was amazed and proud to visit one of the oldest Moroccan consulates in the US, and especially the one in CA ( Los Angeles), which still stands there for more than 2 centuries. A beauty in architecture.

[@srikandiwarion1422]

One little thing that the US should learn from Morocco is the history of tolerance between arabs amazigh black africans andalousians jews and muslims....etc. Morocco succeeded in solving the racial issue and integrating all origins centuries ago. An experience that Morocco should put forward and share globally. Peace and prosperity for all

[@adamsalamtv2640]

[@abdelazizbougja8065]

Very please to see that the general consulate is totally intergrated to Morocco, that shows that Morocco is Mosaïque of cultures. Thank for 4 the video

[@akrambensalah3189]

Just compare this tv show with the kind of tv shows directed by france and you can see the difference between these two countries.. I'd rather like Morocco to have solid relationships with America than France, because they are two great countries with great people and history..

[@IntellectOnly]

Absolutely true. The French colonialism mentality is still alive

[@Kasbah-trails]

Great documentary. This is a real door opener to the world and the United States. Our long term relationship have a historical background as Morocco was one of the first countries to recognize the newly independent United States, opening its ports to American ships by decree of Sultan Mohammed III in 1777.
