How long was Abd el-Krim imprisoned in Melilla?

Abd el-Krim was imprisoned in Melilla for approximately 11 months, from September 1915 to August 1916.1

He was incarcerated by Spanish military authorities following accusations of harboring pro-German and anti-Spanish sentiments during World War I, as well as supporting an autonomous central Rif. Although he eventually returned to his position as a qāḍī (Islamic judge) in May 1917, the experience left a bitter legacy that contributed to his family's eventual break with Spanish authorities and their subsequent leadership of Berber forces during the Rif War.12
