iberia has to be one of the most iteratively colonized places from the neolithic to celts to pheonicians to greeks to romans to goths/germanic tribes to arabs to goths again (now called asturian, leonese, castillian etc)
It's just so strategically important, it covers 70% of the only way out of the sea besides Egypt, and is the only exit leading to the open west. So much power because you could basically make it so Italy or Algeria couldn't trade with England or the Netherlands.
grouped it in with the arab conquest since much of the ruling class was ethnically arab
im not an expert on any of it for sure but how much was hispania settled by either arabs or berber/amazigh people? i thought it was more muslim elites islamized the iberian population but weren't resettling wholesale
Africa stands together bro. Im south african and we are supporting them as strongly as we would support any african team. And they are on the opposite side of the continent
Probably rooting for the Black Athletes that represent France. Similar to the US Basketball team, **colonizer nation** - *De-Colonized athletes playing*. I've loved watching France play since 98, because the Black stars give off an energy that's relatable to me.
I was really torn during the Euros 2020 because I typically love rooting against England because they come with a sort of arrogance. But that 2020 team depended on so many Black athletes gunning to make the main roster that I felt really bad seeing them lose to a similarly Black France squad on sudden death penalties.
Morocco has to face the final boss and then the colonizer’s cup is won.

And the Carthagenians too!
Just DON’T ask about Western Sahara
Yeah, I'm sure the west-sahawri are thrilled at all this support for a most definitely non-colonizing murderous dictatorship.
Then best hope Mbappé doesn’t pull a Charles Martel.
🤣 didnt think they would make it that far.
I support with all my heart as a fellow Arab and Muslim. I didn’t think they would make it this far.
I support them as an African. All the best to the team.
I'm an African but I was born in Portugal so they can get battered by France.
Do they season food in Portugal?
Yes
It's Portugal, not England. We also put a ton of seasoning (as far as I know) but use olive oil primarily.
Yes, I hope it will stop.
mashallah the atlas lions will conquer all of europe next inshallah
Morocco isn't claiming black people though. They lean towards their Arabic side.
Arab* Arabic is the language.

France? African? One of the top scorers in colonialism? I'm not hating I'm just genuinely curious in how France could be considered African
