Aspects of the influences and contributions of expatriate elements on Saadi society during the period Ahmad Al-Mansur al-dhahabi (1578-1603)

Abstract

This study examines aspects of the contributions and influences of the expatriate elements on the Saadian state, especially the Andalusians and Jews, in addition to the European and Sudanese element, during the reign of Sultan Ahmed al-Mansur al-dhahabi (1578-1603 ad). This is thanks to the relative security and stability provided to him in the country, as a result of his efforts to eliminate revolutions and rebellions, as well as thanks to his policy aimed at exploiting the experiences of elements coming to the Saadi community, which contributed to feeding the country with technical methods and new activities in various fields of life. This is through the transfer of various experiences, knowledge and habits that they acquired from their homeland, and transferred them to Morocco, as an attempt to get Morocco out of its plight and revive the economic and social life in the country. This study is an attempt by us to identify the efforts and roles played by these expatriate elements in order to advance the Saadi community.
