Abstract

The article recounts incidents of violence resulting from the rebellion of France's North African protectorates, Morocco and Tunisia, in the 1950s. A general strike was launched in Casablanca by Moroccan workers as a sign of rebellion for the death of Tunisian Labor Lader Farhat Hached. Frenchmen had a hard time controlling mobs that violently shook the city. Louis Ribes, a former French colonial administrator, was killed and badly mutilated when he decided to come out and drive around the city to investigate.
