We love Mohammed VI

Posted by Kerstin and Herve (Paris, France) on 15 May 2006 in Landscape & Rural.

This sentence on the field probably says "long life" or "We love Mohammed VI".
I've nevers seen a "We love Jacques Chirac" written on any field anywhere on the earth. Is it an effect of democracy ? If Jacques Chirac has been elected, that means that someone loves him, at least ! But who ?

I've heard rumours that it says "We love Aaron Schmidt" across the cold tundra of Nunavut.

impressive! I like the building in the corner for a sense of scale. In Belgium we still have a king and queen - long live the king and queen!!

Well, in fact, it means "this is our desert"... But I'm sure you would have found something like "We love Mohammed VI" somewhere... ;)

Very strong picture from the desert.

I will keep it as a screen saver.

The sentence means that Western Sahara is from us and belong to us.

Very nice arabic typographie.

moumen from meknes, Morocco

the Sentence on field says "the sahar is ours" referring to the conflict between Morocco and the so called "polisario" since 1975,the territory is under Moroccan control

@moumen: Thanks for the explanation Moumen ! :) We hope the conflict will be solved one day without using violence. Actually I heard that a lot of Moroccans have moved to these areas and are now the majority in the place. From our point of view, the both populations seems to leave in peace. I hope that is not only an illusion, because the place is really wonderful and the people we met here were very kind and sympathetic.
