Abdelhafid of Morocco or Mulai Abdelhafid was the Sultan of Morocco from 1908 to 1912 and a member of the Alaouite Dynasty. His younger brother, Abdelaziz of Morocco, preceded him. While Mulai Abdelhafid opposed his brother for giving some concessions to foreign powers, he himself became backed by the French and signed the protectorate treaty giving de facto control of the country to France. After his brother, Abdelaziz appointed him as caliph of Marrakech, Abdelhafid sought to have him overthrown by fomenting distrust over Abdelaziz's European ties, he was aided by older brother of T'hami, one of the Caids of the Atlas. He was assisted in the training of his troops by Andrew Belton, a British officer and veteran of the Second Boer War. For a brief period, Abdelaziz reigned from Rabat while Abdelhafid reigned in Marrakech and Fes was disputed. In 1908 Abdelaziz was defeated in battle. In 1909, Abdelhafid became the recognized leader of Morocco. In 1911, rebellion broke out against the Sultan; this led to the Agadir Crisis known as the Second Moroccan Crisis.

These events led Abdelhafid to abdicate after signing the Treaty of Fes on 30 March 1912, which made Morocco a French protectorate. He signed his abdication only when on the quay in Rabat, with the ship that would take him to France waiting. After an extended visit to France, where he received a great deal of attention from the press, he returned to Morocco and was exiled to the Dar el Makhzen in Tangier, his brother Yusef was proclaimed Sultan by the French administration several months later. Yusef was chosen by some dignitaries of Rabat.

The Port of Basra known as Al Maqal Port, is an Iraqi port in Basra, situated on the Persian Gulf. The Port of Basra is a port located in downtown Basra City, Iraq, on the banks of the Shatt Al Arab River, 135 kilometers upstream from the mouth of the river, close to many of Iraq's giant oil and gas fields. Latitude: 30°22’ North, Longitude: 47°48’ East; the Port of Basra began operations in 1919, having been constructed under the aegis of the British Army, who occupied Mesopotamia during the First World War. Iraq's first modern port, it was intended by the British to serve as a major commercial and mercantile hub, servicing Basra itself but acting as a valuable economic bridge between Europe and Asia; the Port of Basra ceased to be operational in 1980 due to the Iran–Iraq War. The majority of the combat during that eight-year conflict occurred in southern Iraq along the Iranian border, where the port sustained damage from Iranian missile and artillery attacks; the port experienced a steady decline in operations in the ensuring years closing in 2003.

The Port of Basra has reopened and receives general and containerized cargo. The port has 15 berths of which 11 are operational with a combined wharf length of 2,000 meters. In 2013 NAWAH opened the only containerized terminal at Berth 14. In October 2012, North America Western Asia Holdings announced a formal agreement with the Iraq Ministry of Transport and the General Company for Ports of Iraq to modernize the Port of Basra's Berth 14; the 10-year deal brings in excess of $14 million of private investment into the Port of Basra. Berth 14 was opened on October 27 2013, by Iraq’s Minister of Transport Hadi Al-Amiri. In April 2014, NAWAH Port Management entered into a further, formal agreement with Iraq’s Ministry of Transportation and the General Company for Ports of Iraq to quadruple the size of its existing terminal at the Port of Basra; as part of this 10-year agreement between NPM and the Iraq government, NPM will rehabilitate Berth 13 and incorporate it into its terminal operations at the Port of Basra.
