Riots in Casablanca

In Casablanca, French Morocco, tensions eased after three days of riots that left 59 dead. General Augustine Guillaume was sent to manage the worst anti-French unrest in decades, sparked by the murder of Tunisian nationalist Farhad Haqqed. Nationalist and communist leaders were detained amid a near-rebellion against French rule. French troops, including the foreign legion, were deployed to restore order. As the city recovers, the UN seeks a peaceful resolution to the conflict in French North Africa.
