Born and raised in Casablanca, Abderrazzak Nouhaili grew up in a family of ten people. Being the sixth born of eight kids, he started his preschooling like most of his brothers and pairs in the neighborhood’s mosque where he learned his ABCs and the Koran. Then he went to the private and public schools of the districts of Benmsik and Derb Sultan where he got the rest of his education until his late teens. Politically active from an early age, he got arrested few weeks after his 18^th birthday and was kept in captivity in the infamous secret jail of Derb Moulay Shrif, where he spend nearly four years for belonging to a subversive organization.

After that he relocated to the south, and made Orlando his home.    

Away from his native country, Abderrazzak never lost his patriotism or his love for Morocco. He was and is heavily involved with Moroccans and in Moroccan affairs in North America. He always believed and still believes in a strong international Moroccan organization that will serve protect and promote the interests of Moroccans and Morocco abroad.
