On Thursday, August 10, the SNRT’s open days for MRE came to a close with the welcome of overseas active forces and professionals with specialized capabilities. An occasion to exchange ideas and strengthen bonds with other Moroccans around the world is being celebrated in honor of the National Migrant Day, which His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God be with him, established.

The activities of this event, highlighted by the participation of Mr. Abdellah Boussouf, Secretary General of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME), were specifically focused on identifying changes in the national offer of SNRT in terms of audiovisual services within the purview of the MRE. Content that pays special attention to programs devoted to this community by highlighting the importance of heritage and artistic creativity while enhancing the influence of Moroccan culture and civilization, as well as solidifying the shared sense of national identity and communicating a commitment to the ideals of openness, moderation, tolerance, and dialogue.

In this instance, Mr. Abdellah Boussouf, Secretary General of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME), praised this yearly tradition of the SNRT, which represents his involvement in this community. As a result, society transforms it into a horizontal issue that all public agencies are interested in because it is a significant part of Moroccan society and actively participates in development initiatives.

The SNRT’s Director of Audit and Management Control, Mr. Jad Bennani, for his part, emphasized the organization’s recent and upcoming initiatives, endeavors, and technical and technological investments under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fayçal Laârachi. The goal is to raise the standard of the public media service, identify the phases of restructuring and governance of the management of this service, and evaluate the outcomes of the company’s restructuring project.

However, this event stood out due to the planning of visits for participants in the various radio and television audiovisual content production services. The objective is to educate them of the institution’s accomplishments in carrying out its duties and obligations in terms of the diversification and qualification of the national audiovisual offer in light of a global context characterized by the significant evolution of new forms of audiovisual content consumption. An offer that is the focus of a plan that the company carefully crafts under the constant supervision of the president and CEO.

In this context, indicators were presented to show the position of these services, which consume the digital material launched to balance out linear television, in the Moroccan community. In addition, MRE account for 33% of the 9 million users of the SNRT live platform over the previous six months. Moroccans from all over the world make up 35% of Facebook and Instagram users that engage with the SNRT platforms’ content. Additionally, their YouTube audience rate is outpacing that of the local recordings.

As a refresher, this commemoration of National Migrant Day was preceded by the reception of young people from new generations of the MRE who were able to participate in live broadcasts in the SNRT radio channel and who were also allowed to visit the various television and radio studios.

It goes without saying that this event, which drew attendees from the MRE’s home countries on the 5 continents, was successful. Their integration in the host nations while keeping their attachment to the place of origin serve as a greater example of loyalty to the motherland for the many generations of Moroccans around the world. Ilias El Goudani, a young professional boxer and U-17 world champion who was born in Germany of Nador, Morocco-born parents, chose to pursue a career in professional sports while representing his own country.

The Mohammed VI Multidisciplinary Technical University Campus in Benguerir hosted a symposium on Saturday with the theme “Investment Promotion and Investor Support with Moroccan Experts in the Field of Finance and Business.” This symposium highlighted, in particular, the participation of Moroccan experts from international financial and investment institutions and bodies.

The symposium, which was jointly organized by the Polytechnic University of Mohammed VI and the Moroccan Community Council Abroad, focused on how to best utilize the experience Moroccans with backgrounds in finance and business have amassed and put it to use for all of the Kingdom’s development workshops.

By discussing the reality of investment in Morocco and its prospects, ways to strengthen it, develop it, and overcome its obstacles, as well as developing “practical” recommendations and proposals on how to attract Moroccan investments worldwide and enhance their participation in development in their home country, it also hoped to benefit from the expertise and competencies of Morocco in the worlds of finance and business.

The meeting served as a chance to highlight Morocco’s business-friendly environment, which supports the creation of high added value and observable socioeconomic benefits, and to thank international organizations for their support in choosing Morocco to host the World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual meetings in October.

In a similar vein, the decision to remove Morocco from the Financial Action Task Force’s Grey Regulation in order to increase foreign investors’ trust in the Moroccan financial system is anticipated to strengthen Morocco’s position as a significant investment destination in the region, particularly for foreign investors seeking to access developing African markets as well as Moroccan investors living abroad.

Abdellah Boussouf, the Secretary-General of the Moroccan Community Council Abroad (CCME), highlighted the fact that Mohammed VI University is a “scientific supplication for honor. By hosting this symposium, it acts as a platform to receive the skills of Moroccans around the world, with a focus on assuring “networking with these capabilities and competences of international financial bodies like London capitals, Dubai, and Frankfurt.”

Having emphasized the necessity of bridging their connections with the university’s study frameworks, with a view to achieving “Profit and positive returns from these energies,” they identified the Moroccan diaspora as “The reservoir of talents,” citing His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s speech on the occasion of the sixty-ninth anniversary of the King and People’s Revolution, in which he urged His Majesty to establish closer contact with members of the Moroccan community living abroad and to establish a mechanism for communication in the field of investment.

In addition, it reviewed the Council’s authority and duties, which go beyond conventional frameworks and formulas and instead adopt a rational, academic and scientific perspective, noting the need to define the term “knowledge economy” in order to properly credit economic literature, as suggested by the New Development Model Committee in this section.

In light of the country’s strong economic performance and resilience, Mr. Boussouf stressed that “academic research and scientific knowledge on investment, conducted by the Moroccan diaspora working in this field, are essential to enrich the national economic arena.” According to him, these people “possess scientific information and knowledge, which is predicated on being able to contextualize, through a realistic study of financial risks, which can only have praiseworthy returns on investment,” as a result of their positions.

He emphasized that “the appropriate scientific information at the right time alters a lot of financial calculated values” in this regard and urged the University to “invest the momentum that this meeting will produce” as a trustworthy and loyal partner.

For his part, the President of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), Hicham El Habti , praised the partnership that links this university institution with the Moroccan Community Council abroad, noting that this meeting is the “third” of its kind in which the world’s Moroccans participate, after the first research on the topic “Water”, and the second on the “Education”.

He emphasized that the university had started a number of initiatives that would keep pace with the event, similar to the “Road to Marrakech,” which is a favorable ground for clarifying a topic that is current in “innovation economy,” highlighting the societal roles of Mohammed VI Polytechnic university and its opportunistic programs. He went on to mention that the university will host the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in October.

The symposium also took place in a “special unique setting for Morocco, especially with the hosting of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank next October. This provided an opportunity to highlight the steps taken by the African continent in this regard, such as the creation of think tanks for the economy and the management of financial risks at the center of research.

He emphasized that the national economy is resilient to global volatility because of its “diversification of the economy, a living force that supports investment and the fortification of the economy,” and he cited Morocco’s diaspora remittances, which totaled AED 94 billion last year and are expected to continue on an upward trajectory this year.

He stated that a thorough understanding of His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s speech, given on the occasion of the sixty-ninth anniversary of the King and People’s Revolution, in which His Majesty allocated space to the Moroccans living abroad for the success of their investment projects, followed by the Investment Charter’s pragmatic audacity, would help to win the investment bet because “The Moroccans living abroad are a real pillar that helps to achieve development, once there is a selectivity for all interventions in the investment field, and the administrative difficulties that prevent optimal investment behind which the Moroccans of the world are behind them have been resolved.”

According to Mr. El Habti,  Mohammed VI University has 200 university professors, 60% of whom are Moroccans and 40% of whom are foreigners. The majority of these professors are Moroccans from the diaspora who “have influenced the return to their home country in order to enable him to accumulate experience and make it available to students.”

Leading experts, officials, and advisers from international economic, financial, and investment organizations, including the World Trade Organization, the Davos World Economic Forum, the Bloomberg World Economic Group, the American General Investment Group, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the African Development Bank Group, are represented by Moroccan competencies abroad, which took part in the symposium.

It also belongs to the London Stock Exchange, the German Stock Exchange, the Bank of England, the German Bank, Rothschild Bank and partners in Paris, BlackRock Global Investment Management Group, The Dutch Vitol Group specializing in energy, as well as the Jump Trading International Group specializing in technology and algorithmic trading strategies, Morgan Stanley British Group, Boston American Consulting Group, as well as academic and financial institutions and sustainability organizations from the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Côte d’Ivoire, France, the United Arab Emirates, the United States of America and Morocco.

The seminar addressed with the subjects of “Investment in Morocco: calendar and foresight” and “Ways to promote and expand investment in Morocco: for an attractive and competitive business climate”.

The topics of “Investing in Moroccan World Competencies and its Role in Attracting Investment from the Moroccan Community Abroad,” “Investing in Moroccan Culture: Cultural Industries and Economic and Sustainable Development,” “The Role of Moroccan World in Promoting the Dynamic of Moroccan Investment in Africa: Ways, Priorities and Gains,” and “Investments of Morocco and the Economy of the Future” were also highlighted.

The secretary general of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad, Abdellah Boussouf, participated in an intellectual meeting with a mission of Jewish students of Moroccan origin organised by the diplomatic institution in Rabat on Friday, 3 March 2023.

In his speech, the secretary general of the Moroccan Community Council gave an overview of the Moroccan community in the world and the important place of the Jewish component in the Moroccan identity, as well as among the Moroccans of the world, who are also represented among the members of the council.

In this context, Dr. Boussouf mentioned the fraternal link between Muslims and Jews in Morocco throughout history, which goes beyond the concepts of living together to the total blending in the society, sharing customs and traditions, contrary to the discrimination existing in some European countries between Jews and other religions; stressing that the unique Moroccan experience in the world has not generated a form of anti-Semitism and racism that Moroccans have not experienced throughout history.

During this meeting, Boussouf stressed the importance of Morocco in preserving the rights and beliefs of all believers, as well as the concern of Moroccan sultans to protect the Jewish component of Moroccan society as equal citizens, recalling the historical position of the late King Mohammed V who refused to hand over Moroccan Jews to the Vichy authority during the protection, considering that Moroccans do not make any difference in citizenship.

The secretary general of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad stressed that this royal patronage of the Moroccan Jewish component is the philosophy pursued by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which is reflected in many royal initiatives for the benefit of Moroccan Jews, such as restoring cemeteries in more than one city and giving high instructions for the reorganization of Jewish institutions in Morocco and also by strengthening spiritual and cultural ties with Moroccan Jews around the world.

On the other hand, Dr. Boussouf noted the link of Moroccan Jewish communities around the world with their motherland and their adherence to its culture, such as the Mimouna ceremony, which has become a part of international Jewish culture and is a Moroccan occasion par excellence, calling on young people of Moroccan origin to continue to connect the bridges of communication with Morocco and to stand by its side and work to be elements in achieving world peace.

The Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad has published a documentary work monitoring the condemnation decisions rendered by the European Court of Justice against the Member States of the Council of Europe, through the compilation of a large number of media materials published on its subject.

This documentary work covers the period from 2019 to 2023. According to the data provided by the Council, the Court has issued 23 406 decisions since its establishment in 1956.

The Foundation’s analysis shows that more than two-thirds of the decisions have been against three countries.

During the period covered by this study, it should be noted that in 2019, for example, 540 articles were published on websites, mainly in Spain and France. In 2020, 426 articles were identified, mainly in France and Spain.

In 2021, the number of articles reached 500, with France and Spain continuing to become the nationality of the publishing institutions. In 2022, 709 articles were counted, mainly in Spain, France and Italy.

With its in-depth knowledge of the European context, of the various transformations that the Union is undergoing and of the manoeuvres hatched against Morocco, the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad, both as an institution and through the publications of its Secretary General Abdellah Boussouf, has played a key role in alerting to a number of risks and exposing numerous manoeuvres targeting the Kingdom.

Boussouf recently published a book exposing what happened before the issuance of the European Parliament’s recommendation against Morocco, entitled “the mid-December plot”, in which he goes into detail and with precise data on a number of events.

He also refers to the unprecedented media coverage that the “Qatar gate” affair received from the right-wing media known for their loyalty to the Algerian regime, with which they have important commercial and financial agreements, stressing that the media was one of the powerful parties to inflate the affair and orient European public opinion towards a destination aimed at tarnishing Morocco’s image, as well as removing Qatar from the judicial and media race, especially after threatening to change the equations of global energy security.

The CCME and the FSJES are initiating a series of training seminars on the theme “Moroccan Sahara: truth and history” to commemorate the 46th anniversary of the Green March.

A series of roughly thirty video-conferences are so arranged as part of the agreement agreed between the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME) and the Faculty of Legal, Economic, and Social Sciences (FSJES) of Rabat.

These seminars will provide a large audience with access to historical research and analysis on the Moroccan Sahara issue, as well as data on socioeconomic and humanitarian progress in the provinces. The South, as well as changes in the regional and international contexts, international organizations’ reports, and treaties dealing with the issue of national sovereignty.

The content of the autonomy proposal, as well as the suggestions of the Special Commission on the Development Model’s report, will be given special attention in order to continue the development process of the Kingdom’s southern areas at all levels.

They will be shown beginning November 5, 2021 on AwacerTV, the CCME’s digital portal dedicated to immigration and Moroccans around the world. Digital partner sites and public broadcasters will also carry the program.

Mr. Abdellah Boussouf, Secretary General of the CCME, highlighted that “the debut of training on digital platforms was determined by three decisive dimensions” in his assessment on training series programming.

The first is tied to Moroccans’ extraordinary attachment to their mother country, which they exhibit on a daily basis and at all times.

The second factor is the position of the Moroccan Sahara issue in the views of all Moroccans, which the King has affirmed several times, most recently in his speech honoring the 30th anniversary of the Green March (2005).

“We praise the effective role of our expatriate population, which we see as a major asset for the future Morocco.” Even better, we see it at the heart of people who have dedicated themselves with entire sincerity to the growth of our country and the protection of its territorial integrity and worldwide impact, while keeping firmly attached to their authentic Moroccan identity,” he said.

The third dimension is tied to the CCME’s goal of “giving accurate and organized scientific knowledge on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara to Moroccans around the world, in order to become familiar with its history, identify all the factors associated with it, and learn about Morocco’s efforts to achieve peace and development at regional and global levels.”

The program’s goal is to educate young Moroccans with the history and geography of the Kingdom’s southern regions, as well as to learn about economic, cultural, and social facts, as well as the level of development of the southern provinces since their arrival.
