 The Sultan re-iterated his commitment to the Berber tribes, and in an attempt to combat the "Latif" offered an Islamic judge to any Berber tribes who wished to submit to Islamic law.This statement was not enough to calm the spirits of the people and on August 28, 1930, one hundred nationalists gathered in the house of Ahmed bin Haj Mohamed Lahrech in Salé where Mufti Boubker Zniber wrote the "Petition Against the Berber Dahir" to be sent to Grand Vizier al-Muqri by a delegation from Salé.Moroccan activists mobilized to alert the international and Arab press ; then Shakib Arslan made a brief stop in Morocco to inform and educate the nationalists.
