Theme 2: Caricature
Sketch of the cartoonist: Mohamed Filali
Mohamed Filali, this native of
Essaouira in 1949, at the age of 19, decided to "go up" to Rabat to seek
his fortune there, armed only with his lost talents. We are in 1969.
And as it was necessary to earn a living, the young Mohamed proposed
some caricatures to the daily Opinion.
Seduced by the stroke of the pencil as
daring as it is intelligent, the leaders of the organ of Istiqlal were
quickly going to hire him.
Mohamed,
bombarded caricaturist designer, who is quickly noticed by increasingly
daring boards. He still remembers his first clearly committed
caricature: the drawing represented a man and his little boy looking up
at a figure floating in the air, a towel in his hand. The latter
strangely resembled the Minister of Finance at the time. In the bubbles,
the child said to his father “Look at daddy, he is flying”. “But what
is he stealing? replied the father. “It happened without censorship
getting involved,” recalls Mohamed Filali.
A good reason to be bold and dare to
draw more and more incisive designs. “The authorities were always quick
to censor the writings. But it was more complicated when it came to
drawings.
They were, after all, “mikiates!” This will last until the day
he commits an openly anti-American box, criticizing the United States'
commitment to Viet Nam; then another attacking the Algerian government.
It was enough for us to be more interested in his case. Mohamed Filali
escapes a kidnapping attempt, and the "accidental" exposure of his car
will cause him some burns, but will cost his life to the person who
accompanied him.
