Moroccans and Mauritanians celebrated Eid al-Adha on Monday along with many other countries, while the rest of the Maghreb celebrated the festival on Sunday, but preoccupation with the rituals of Eid, which begins after dawn, did not distract them from remembering a major event that marked the Arab political scene at the beginning of this century.

Like other countries of the Muslim world, the people of the Maghreb begin their rituals with Eid prayers, then slaughter the sacrifice, and visit family, relatives and loved ones.

However, it became a constant in the rituals of each Eid, many of the bloggers and pages on Facebook specifically - as the most prevalent in the Arab Maghreb - to their accounts to remember the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and the publication of posts condemning his execution, and the deliberate execution at the dawn of the day.

Thirteen years after the execution of the late Iraqi president, many generations still remember him whenever Eid al-Adha came, because the execution took place on Saturday, December 30, 2006, the 10th of Dhu'l-Hijjah, where Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha.

Blogger Ezzedine described Saddam's execution as an "execution of Arab dignity".

Hussein Amsassi was keen to say that the anniversary of Saddam's execution coincided with his trip to his native city in Morocco to spend the day of Eid with his family.

Mustafa al-Saadani would only publish a picture of the late Iraqi leader with a commentary, "Like dawn today, Saddam Hussein was martyred."

Tens of thousands of pages were also taken to publish Saddam's memo, coinciding with his execution on the day of Eid al-Adha, including the Moroccan Radio and Television Archive 2.

The blogger "Yusuf" published a portrait of the late Iraqi president and said he was killed because he was contrary to the wishes of the world's major powers.

The Echoes of Essaouira page recalled the execution and how Saddam was smiling as his executioners were trembling.

The "Templar Libby" page - which is followed by hundreds of thousands - published a picture of Saddam and mentioned his execution at dawn on Eid al-Adha.

The Algerian "Les allées Ben Boulaid Batna" also published a picture of Saddam praying, and wondered about the "secret" between Saddam and his Lord, which makes people remember him every Eid.

So did the Algerian "My Country of Ain Yusuf" page, which published pictures of the late president and reprinted an old article on the execution of Saddam and how his execution on Eid made everyone remember him whenever this religious occasion came.

So did the page "Soyons fiers de notre pays." (Let's be proud of our country) Tunisian, who republished the same article.

A number of suitable bloggers are also used to publish and circulate the famous poem of the Iraqi imposter Abbas Jijan, "O Dawn", in which the late president laments, and begins with
"Weah dawn, the day of Eid
We are slaughtered by Saddam
His soul
Face like a wounded lion
Walk
And his wounds laugh. "
