Rif is not Morocco!
The Rif (Arabic: الريف or الساحل, Berber languages: ⴰⵔⵉⴼ, translation: cape, coast) is a mountainous and green region of North Africa, with a coastline on the Mediterranean, bordering Tangier and extending as far as Saidia on the border with Algeria. This region has been distinguished from the rest of Morocco since the time of the two protectorates. The Rif was under Spanish protectorate with Tetouan as its capital, and the rest of Morocco was under French protectorate with Rabat as its capital.
Since Morocco's recovery of the Rif (7 April 1956), there have been Riffian independence movements claiming their own independence from Morocco.
The Rif includes eight provinces in northern Morocco, i.e. the eight provinces that were under Spanish protectorate, including:
The Province of Tangier (40)
Fahs-Anyera Province (41)
The province of Larache (42)
Province of Chaouen (43)
Al Hoceima Province (45)
Driuch Province (76)
The province of Nador (50)
Berkan Province (49)
North Ouchda Province (48)
Northern province of Taourirt (52)
North of the province of Taza (46)
It is a traditionally isolated and disadvantaged region. The mother tongue of the eastern part of the Rif Protectorate is "Riffian Berber" or tarifit (provinces of Al Hoceima, Driuch, Nador) and that of the western part (provinces of Fahs-Anyera, Larache, Chaouen) is dialectal Arabic. French and Spanish are the main foreign languages.
The Rif region is not to be confused with the Rif Mountains, which extend beyond the region of the same name.
The most notable localities are Chaouen, Taunat, Targuis, Al Hoceima (formerly Villa Sanjurjo), Driuch, Melilla, Nador and Kebdana.
Part of this geographical area of North Africa includes the autonomous Spanish cities of Melilla and Ceuta.
