Hajj Brahim Roudani

Brahim Roudani migrated from Taroudant to Casablanca as a young man, building a successful wholesale produce and trucking business. Behind this commercial cover, Roudani was the chief organizer and armorer of the urban underground resistance alongside Mohamed Zerktouni.

He procured rifles, financed safehouses, and managed weapon distribution networks across Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech. Tragic victim of factional violence in the chaotic weeks following independence in July 1956, one of Casablanca's primary avenues bears his name in honor of his immense contribution to Moroccan freedom.
