Abou Mahalli vs. the Saadians: Religion, Power and Collapse in 1600s Morocco

Monday, June 2, 2025 • Duration 32:38

In this episode, I unpack the rise and fall of Abou Mahalli—preacher, warlord, self-declared Mahdi—who nearly rewrote Morocco’s fate in the 17th century. His life is a window into a country unraveling after its golden age, torn between dynastic decay, foreign interference, and a people’s longing for salvation.
