31# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
32# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
33# but Mark R V Murray reports that
34# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
35# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
36# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
37# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
38# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
39#
40# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
41# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
42# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
43# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
44# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
45#
46# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
47# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
48# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
49# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
50# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
51# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
52# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
53# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
54# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
55# until we get more information.

522# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
523# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
524# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
525# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
526#
527# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
528# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
529# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
530# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
531# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
532# changes two days later.

530# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-07-10):

534# </a>
535# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
536# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
537# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
538# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
539#
540# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
541# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
542# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
543# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
544# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
545# changes two days later.

| 849# From Paul Eggert (2013-03-06):
850# Morocco's daylight-saving transitions due to Ramadan seem to be
851# announced a bit in advance. On 2012-07-11 the Moroccan government
852# announced that year's Ramadan daylight-saving transitions would be
853# 2012-07-20 and 2012-08-20; see
854# <http://www.mmsp.gov.ma/fr/actualites.aspx?id=288>.
855#
856# To estimate what the Moroccan government will do in future years,
857# transition dates for 2013 through 2021 were determined by running
858# the following program under GNU Emacs 24.3:
859#
860# (let ((islamic-year 1434))
861# (while (< islamic-year 1444)
862# (let ((a
863# (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute
864# (calendar-islamic-to-absolute (list 9 1 islamic-year))))
865# (b
866# (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute
867# (calendar-islamic-to-absolute (list 10 1 islamic-year)))))
868# (insert
869# (format
870# (concat "Rule\tMorocco\t%d\tonly\t-\t%s\t %2d\t 3:00\t0\t-\n"
871# "Rule\tMorocco\t%d\tonly\t-\t%s\t %2d\t 2:00\t1:00\tS\n")
872# (car (cdr (cdr a))) (calendar-month-name (car a) t) (car (cdr a))
873# (car (cdr (cdr b))) (calendar-month-name (car b) t) (car (cdr b)))))
874# (setq islamic-year (+ 1 islamic-year))))
875#
876# with the results hand-edited for 2020-2022, when the normal spring-forward
877# date falls during the estimated Ramadan.
878#
879# From 2023 through 2038 Ramadan is not predicted to overlap with
880# daylight saving time. Starting in 2039 there will be overlap again,
881# but 32-bit time_t values roll around in 2038 so for now do not worry
882# about dates after 2038.

1172# From Arthur David Olson (2009--3-18):
1173# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is due to the fact
1174# that the fasting month of ramadan coincides with the period concerned by summer time.
1175# Therefore, the standard time will be kept unchanged the whole year long."
1176# So foregoing DST seems to be an exception (albeit one that may be repeated in the future).
