Of course, Libya is part of greater Maghreb, go tell to a Libyan that, you'll see what he will say
they are ethnic Berbers, show great similarities culturally with us (couscous united power) and many of them speak Tamazight. Check in the internet, geographs locate Libya in Maghreb but they have a very low number of population so people rarely make the connection and I admit they are a bit outsiders in Maghreb because of their strong connections with Egypt as well, you're absolutely right, thats exactly why I put them second ex aequo with Tunisia where Amazigh culture is completely abandoned
Mauritania is not always associated with Maghreb by specialists btw, depends, I see them more between NorthAfricans/Subsaharans culturally speaking
But Morocco the most Arabized Maghrebian country ? You have no clue of what you're talking about khey. Politic alliances these late decades has nothing to do with Arabization, it's not because some Saudis/Qataris go to Morocco to spend their holidays, find Moroccan girls to marry and build few hotels that this country is the most Arabized of Maghreb.
Only someone who never interacted/never has been to Morocco could say such things. There are like 50% if not more Moroccans who speak Tamazight, there are still a lot of people who live in very isolated rural areas in very high moutains where they barely had any interactions with outside.
Their culture and arts : very Berber connected, genetically : the purest and extremely isolated.
Moroccans are the first Maghrebians to recognize their Berber roots when there is still a lot of work in Algeria and Tunisia especially.
Muhammed sixth who claim to be of sherifian backgrounds
just lol. It's trendy to invent sherifian ancestries in Maghreb lately , they think it gives them more privileges and they are not helped with Wahabbis propaganda.
Historically : resisted a long time to invasions (Ottomans never succeed to invade them, only the north of Morocco has been romanized, Arabs were so low there, most Berber/Muslim dynasties came from Morocco) because of their harsh landscapes : Atlas moutains protecting from invasions.
They may try to duplicate khaleejis lately, especially women because some of them like gold digging them but Morocco is certainly the least Arabized Maghrebian country.
