November 1830 CE

The Alouite sultan of Morocco, Abderrahmane, Commander of the Believers, cannot remain much longer indifferent to the massacres committed by the French Christian troops in the western region of Oran and to belligerent calls to enter jihad from the marabouts.

Despite the diplomatic rupture between Morocco and the Two Sicilies in 1830, and the naval warfare engaged against the Austrian Empire as well as with Spain, Abderrahmane lends his support to the Algerian insurgency triggered by Abd El-Kader, who is to fight during the coming years against the French.

Directing a troop of twelve thousand men, he first organizes the blockade of Oran.
