Ifyyiy (Figuig) - Geography
North Africa Amazigh

Introduction and note:

We inform our readers that the geography we are talking about here is part of the Moroccan administrative division of regions as set by the State.

We are not talking here about the other lands belonging to the oasis and its owners.
We mean here the lands stolen by French imperialism. The latter included these lands in the state he created by referendum and resolution in 1961 and 1962, Algeria.
In 1962, nothing called the independence of Algeria took place because this state did not exist in history and only began in 1962.

His presence began by betraying the pact with Morocco.

Ifyyiy : Administratively

IFYYIY city (ifyyiy - ⵉⴼⵢⵢⵉⵢ - is the original and perpetual name of the oasis, also pronounced Ifyyiy ⵉⴼⵢⵢⵉⵢ) is part of the Oriental region, the 2nd region in the administrative division of Morocco, which includes 12 regions. And BOUAARFA is the capital of the province of FIGUIG

Remarque :

The name Ifyyiy is not used by the Moroccan state. The latter uses other names which are derivatives by translation and which are used in a context linked to the pan-Arabism adopted by the previous regime. This context betrays the Amazigh identity, the real and genuine identity of the oasis and the city.

Important clarification:

The original name of the city is Ifyyiy . This is the name that has been used by its inhabitants for thousands of years.

We say Ifyyiy

As for the following names: فجيج، فكيك وفقيق, in Arabic and Figuig in Latin, they are translations into Arabic and Latin (French…) of the Amazigh name. linked to the original name.

We will explain later the reasons which led historians to make errors in the reading and interpretation of their sources.

There are also historians and writers who ignore, intentionally or through ignorance, the original name Ifyyiy , which is on the lips of all the inhabitants of the oasis or At Oufyyiy ⴰⵜ ⵓⴼⵢⵢⵉⵢ..

These mountains form a sort of natural barrier around the city Ifyyiy (Figuig), and play a specific role in the survival of the city.
