BOU HMARA [1/3] : the Fake Sultan who deceived Morocco | The early days


Listen Later



In this new 3-parts series, I take you through the story of Bou Hmara, a con artist who shook Morocco’s Alaoui dynasty in the early 20th century at the dawn of the European protectorates. Pretending to be a long lost prince, the brother of Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz, Bou Hmara used strategy, clever schemes and a good dose of lies to gain power wealth & influence over thousands of people.

His rise to the top was filled with betrayal battles, & the brutal realities of colonial rule. An episode of Moroccan history you donnot
