about our group. The songs have to tell stories and can also be about such issues as unemployment and violence. These are issues that affect every Raja fan. It’s no problem that words of other languages are used. We constantly meet a lot of words from foreign languages, as the Moroccan language has been influenced by the Mediterranean region. Most striking with the French language. In addition, these foreign language words often fit better to the tune than Arab words. Talking about Ultras in the Arab world, we cannot avoid the topic “Arab Spring”. Since the fall of Mubarak, you hear and read over and over again of the Ultras of Cairo which continue to play a centrol role in the demonstrations. Is such a constellation possible in Morocco or have there even been similar incidents? Generally, it should be stressed that the Egyptian revolution came into being through the people which spoke with one voice and reached their aims through firm determination. Of course, the Ultras are a part of the people and supported the actions. The demonstrations in Morocco differed from those in Egypt in so far that the aims weren‘t always clear and were often mixed with personal interests. These aims generally have little to do with the bulk of the population, which was illustrated by the small turnout at the protest events. Should it become necessary for Morocco and should we be convinced of the necessity, it would be no question for us to take part. Let‘s point out another occasion on which we have acted contrary to the policy of our government. For the North Africa Cup 2009 game against ES Setif from Algeria we had prepared a choreography in order to emphasize the common ground of the two states and the unity of their inhabitants. Even though our state is in conflict with the Algerian and on both sides the flames of hatred are fanned, the ordinary people still remain one great people, even if the politicians don‘t like it. Unfortunately our presentation was prevented by the security service. Since it became known through other channels anyway, in the return match a surprise awaited us. Our team and we were received very friendly and for a long time again, the national flags of Morocco and Algeria waved side by side. We even met like-minded Algerian fans and in order to thank us they presented a choreography that contained the same saying as ours. After the game, the media reported several times about this action and thus it was remembered for a long time although initially it had been forbidden. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for giving us this interesting insight into the Moroccan world of Ultra. Shukran! 92 - 116 // Blickfang Ultrà - Das Magazin
