Morocco - Alhoceima
Al Hoceima (Amazigh languages: Villa or Lhusima,) is a city in the north of Morocco on the northern edge of the Rif Mountains, and on the Mediterranean coast, with a population of 55 357 (2004 census). Al Hoceima is the capital of the Taza-Al Hoceima-Taounate region. It is situated in the territory of the Ayt Weryaghel and Ibeqquyen tribes of the Rif, who speak Tarifit Berber, locally called Tamazight. The city's income is based on tourism and fishing. Many of its former inhabitants migrated to Europe during the 1960s through 1980s; large numbers of Moroccans in the Netherlands were Al Hoceima natives. Many return to Al Hoceima during the summer, stimulating its economy and encouraging investment. The Multiactors plateform is in creation process (October 2013. |
