  In this episode we look at the strange and little known reign of Mohammed Al Burtughali : the Moroccan Wattasid sultan who spent his childhood as a Portuguese hostage and returned to rule a sultanate in shambles. Caught between Iberian expansion, Sufi-led resistance and the collapse of Wattasid authority all over the country his story raises deeper questions about what it means to lead the ruins of empire.SOURCES - Les Wattasides, une dynastie de transition by Mohamed Mezzine- Histoire du Maroc by J.

• Abou Mahalli vs. the Saadians: Religion, Power and Collapse in 1600s Morocco

  In this episode, I unpack the rise and fall of Abou Mahalli—preacher, warlord, self-declared Mahdi—who nearly rewrote Morocco’s fate in the 17th century.
