Remark

The Makhzen is a very ancient notion in Morocco, it roughly coincides with the notion of the ancien feudalist state predating the French protectorate.
Resident-General General Lyautey (in office 1912-25) a fervent proponent of indirect colonization, kept that role and even enhanced it by given an important role to local notables.to act as a relay between the population and the French authorities to govern the country.
