Looks very sad. According to the USGS search engine on that part of N. Africa, there've been no other quakes >= mag 6 in the region (nor for at least halfway down the AF coast) in 200 years. (The closest was in Portugal; Agadir was a 5.8.)(There were hundreds in the eastern Mediterranean.) So it's been centuries. That can't have helped; many of those structures have been around -a long- time.
