Old photograph of Ksar Athman Oumoussa. As I mentioned in a former post in this blog, the Outat (now Midelt) offered in the early 19 th century a different image from that of other cities Berber Middle and High Atlas: Ethnically, the population was composite in addition to the dominant tribes, the Ait Ait Ouafella Izdeg and there were several categories of foreign elements: the Iguerouanes, the Ait Seghrouchen, The Oulad Khaoua, The Ait Hdidou, Filali and the Jews.
Jews lived in Ksar Ait Ouafella Lekbir. Jews lived in Ksar Zedgui Athman Or Moussa and Ksar Bousmella.
The Marquis de Segonzag reported until the late nineteenth century: "Jews have a unique location in the Ait and Ait Izdeg Ouafella.
The Alumni who have demonstrated oral Outatiens tell us that they had good neighborly relations with the Jews who lived with them in Ksars raised. Jews and Zedguis Afellaouis were fellahs and possessed the land they worked themselves or they were working by Khem (sharecroppers in the fifth).
An oral source, an old man of Ksar Tamoussa Ouali us that he had assisted in the 30s of last century, a fight between Jews and those Zedguis of Bousmella Athmane Oumoussa. In some minutes the battle began, the two ksars honor was at stake between two clans fighting occurred near the shrine of St. Sapharide, Moul El Kaf. Still, according to our source, shots Bouheba (former rifle) were exchanged.
Alerted, the Amghar for Athman Oumoussa arrived with a bang on his mule, waved his tarrezet (turban) to announce he had in Parliament. A few minutes later, everything was entered in order.
The reasons for this outburst? Our source believes it was a problem of honor. The scuffle was brief.
This was consistent with what people say Imazighen "in Amazigh, anger is like fire, bright and brief, revenge is like the embers, invisible but durable. "
