We are still seamlessly reviving historical events that we did not study in school and are not known to the public from Algerian history proven by references and books.
In the mid-17th century, he was born in Algiers, Ahmed Sha ‘ban, known in history as Haj Sha’ ban, who in 1688 became the ruler of the Algerian State and was ranked 4 of Algeria’s Dayat, during a time when Algeria was concentrating as its force at sea to repel European attacks on Algeria. At that time, King Moulay Ismail aspired to realize his father’s dreams of expanding at the expense of neighbour Algeria. He believed Algeria would not be able to confront him on land. The Algerian-Moroccan border agreed to was the Mellouya River, according to the 1551 agreement between Algeria and Morocco Al-Aqsa, which was in Tlemcen, The Mallouya River, currently about 200 kilometres from the Algerian border, moved an army into Ouejda to occupy it contrary to the Agreement. Algerian Governor Haj Sha ‘ban ordered the movement of an army towards the western border and he himself came out at the head of 13,000 troops, Upon his arrival in Ouejda, he found a larger number of 22,000 soldiers of Moroccan Army. But the Algerians prevailed after a bloody battle in which more than 4,000 fell and in some references 5,000 Moroccans and hundreds of Algerians, This caused great frustration amid the Moroccan army, which led them to retreat to the capital, Fez. Al-Haj Shaaban not only retrieved ouejda and rolled the enemy soldiers beyond the Mallouya River, but decided to enter the capital, Fez in itself, Indeed, he completed his career until the fences of King Molay Ismail’s capital arrived. The Moroccan King was surprised by the audacity of Haj Shaaban and courage of his soldiers, although Fez was fortified and guarded by more than 44,000 soldiers, he was afraid that his king would fall that night and asked to meet the Algerian ruler. When Hajj Shaaban authorized him to come to his tent, Molay Ismail entered him, handcuffed himself and kissed three times before the ground, referring to total submission. The phrase confirming this submission was when the Moroccan King said: “You are the knife and I am the meat.”
The Algerian ruler was required to take Molay Ismail’s eldest son with him to Algeria, where a peace agreement would be signed there in Algeria and in the presence of a number of ambassadors and witnesses.
