Mohammed Abd el Krim was one of the first freedom fighters of the North African colonies, the inventor of modern guerrilla warfare, the founder of the Rif Republic, a reformer, and an advisor to the powerful in the region, still revered, no: loved, to this day. The two fictional heroes fight alongside him against the united countries of the West for the victory of the people.
