Mohammed al-Habib al-Fourkani (1922 – 2008, born in Tahanaoute) was a Moroccan writer, historian and politician who played an important role during the struggle for independence, during which he was exiled (December 9 1952 – January 14, 1954) and imprisoned two times by the French. He studied at the Ben Youssef School of Marrakech before he joined the national independence mouvement in 1943. His first newspaper articles appeared in the journal At-Taqaddoum (Progress) and many were to follow. He was one of the chief editors of the magzin Majallat Al-Adib (revue des lettres) and the newspaper Al-Mouharrir. He wrote two volumes of poetry Noujoum fi Yadi (Stars between my hands-1965) and Doukhane min Al-Azmina Al-Mohtariqa (Smoke of glowing times). He was a member of parliament for the USFP between 1978 and 2002.
