اللصوصية القبلية و تداعياتها على علاقة المغرب بهولندا خلال القرن التاسع عشر

Abstract EN

Tribal banditry in Morocco during the nineteenth century constituted a difficult social problem which has been annoyed the rulers and troubled the people, who could not longer guarantee the security of themselves, their families and their property.

the difficult natural conditions, such as droughts, pandemics, epidemics and the interference of foreigners who professionalized the prohibited trade, especially arms, contributed to fueling the fervor of banditry which its disease spread in all the villages and cities of Morocco.

under this situation, the Moroccan Makhzen was unable to put an end of this serious social problem or at least to reduce its impact, due to its weak economic capabilities, the collapse of its military forces, and the interference of Europeans in the country’s internal and foreign policy, thus, they became in control of everything.

as Morocco had an important commercial relations with the Netherlands during this period, the spread of this social scourge seriously in all regions of the country was reducing the activities of Dutch merchants in Morocco, realizing that their property was no longer in safety as before, in addition, it was putting Morocco in an embarrassing situation in front of a country which it has had close commercial and diplomatic relations with it has had close commercial and diplomatic relations with it for more than five hundred centuries.
