Abdul Auxiliary Aziz Casa Blanca Forces Marches Marching Moroccan Morocco Rides Shade Sultan


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sultan Abd-el-Aziz (IV) of Morocco makes a regal procession through the bustling streets of Casablanca, accompanied by his Mokhaznis, or Moroccan Auxiliary Forces. Dated circa 1907, this image captures a moment in time when the traditional Moroccan monarchy intersected with the modernizing influences of the late 19th century. The Sultan, dressed in his ornate robes and headdress, sits proudly atop his horse, shaded from the sun by a large parasol. His Mokhaznis, clad in their distinctive blue and white uniforms, march in formation behind him, their weapons at the ready. The scene unfolds on the streets of Casablanca, with its mix of European and Moroccan architecture providing an intriguing backdrop. The Mokhaznis, also known as the Imxazniyn or Makhzen troops, were an important part of the Moroccan military during this period. They were responsible for maintaining order and providing security, both within Morocco and during the Sultan's travels. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Moroccan monarchy and the role of its auxiliary forces. As the Sultan and his entourage make their way through the city, the people of Casablanca pause to pay their respects. The streets are filled with a sense of excitement and reverence, as the Sultan's presence underscores the enduring power and tradition of the Moroccan monarchy. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, one that bridges the gap between the past and the future of Morocco.
