هوامش على دفتر المغرب

Rants, ramblings, and attempts at writing supposedly coherent essays about my lovely country. I will try to write and translate everything to english, french, and darija.

The blog's title is a reference to هوامش على دفتر النكسة, a poem written by Nizar Qabbani in 1967 following the six-day war, in which he laments the state of the Arab world, and pleads the younger generation to do better.

The blog's URL, on the other hand, is a reference to souk lebhira (سوق البحيرة), an old market in Casablanca dating back to the 40s and destroyed in 2026, known for its second-hand bookshops where you could buy and trade your used books.

If you want to chat or point out something stupid and/or incorrect I've said or fix a typo or anything, you can reach me by mail contact at lebhira dot com2.

  1. If you're a Moroccan person using RSS I'm genuinely interested in having a chat because I've never met a fellow countryperson using it.

  2. If you're wondering why I couldn't simply type the address, it's because I'm trying to avoid bots scraping it and spamming my poor mailbox.
