This chronology follows violence against יהודים YEHUDIM, restrictions on departure and return, communal protests, and organized עלייה ALIYA from AM 5708 through AM 5722. Early events concern the Sharifian Empire under the French protectorate; later events concern the Kingdom of Morocco. The latest state name identifies the hub, not every earlier government.12
The sequence distinguishes laws and administrative instructions from public promises, communal decisions and actual departures. Population estimates remain attributed to their sources. The chronology does not establish when the whole exodus ended.
