Sunday, September 12, 1909. Zapata and El Roghi.

The city leaders of San Miguel Anenecuilco elected Emiliano Zapata to recover lands owned by the village, his initiation in what would become a career as a Mexican agrarian rebel.


He was thirty years old.

Moroccan rebel Jilali ben Driss al-Youssefi al-Zerhouni (الجيلالي بن إدريس اليوسفي الزرهوني), commonly known as El Roghi (الرُقي ar-ruqī) meaning "the pretender" and Bou Hmara (بو حمارة) meaning the man on a female donkey was put to death after being hideously tortured.
