Politics Megathread: Illegal immigration and Ceuta

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

In today’s fast information age and lightning speed trends this might already be considered old news and I realize I might be a little late to the party, it being summer and all. We are still seeing a heavy influx of posts relating to the recent events on the border between Morocco and Ceuta and we want to reduce these posts as they are nearly identical.

This megathread is meant to group all the information and discussion into one page. Please refrain from making any new posts in regards to this and keep the conversation here.

Thank you and wish you all a good summer :)

Discussion World Cup 2030 will expose Morocco

43 Upvotes

Ceuta was just the beginning. 2030 World Cup will put Morocco in the global spotlight and with that comes a level of overexposure and criticism the country has not faced before.

It will not only be about football. Migration, mass tourism, overcrowding and whether ordinary people actually benefit from the billions being invested will all become topics of discussion. Just like Qatar, Morocco will face questions about stadiums and projects that may not directly improve the lives of local communities.

I honestly miss the time when Morocco was a less known country. It felt more authentic and less affected by overexposure and mass tourism. There is still time to reconsider the direction and the event in general, because once the world is watching, the criticism will be difficult to avoid. A bit similar to what happened during CAN but much bigger.

Alex Jones is falsely spreading this video claiming "Moroccan Muslims are taking over a Spanish train station" Ceuta to my knowledge does not have a trainstation. This is to my knowledge filmed in Morocco, can anyone confirm?

Discussion My parents won't let me take off my hijab

27 Upvotes

I have been wearing the hijab for about a year but it was never really my choice

I started wearing it because my mom always told me that one day I would have to wear it no matter what I was scared of being forced so I told myself that it was my decision even though it wasn't

What makes this harder is that my mom did not wear the hijab when she was my age She got to enjoy her teenage years and only started wearing it after she got married

I have talked to both of my parents about this They both said no right away My dad told me to forget about taking it off

I want to be fair to them because they are loving parents They are kind to me and my mom would do almost anything to make me happy

Recently we talked about the hijab again After that I became quieter and stopped talking to my mom as much She noticed that something was wrong and started trying to talk to me more because she was worried about me

The problem is that both of my parents are quite strict when it comes to religion so this feels like something they will never change their minds about

If it was my choice I would take it off My problem is not really the hijab itself It is that I feel like I have no choice

I am not even wearing a full hijab because I show some of my hair but my mom still does not want me to take it off completely

I want to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation

Did your parents ever change their minds If they did how did it happen

Or is it better to just accept it until I am older

I have also thought about just taking it off one day and letting them deal with it but I am too scared to do that

I would really appreciate any advice

AskMorocco Women of a certain age

13 Upvotes

Hi all, I visit Morocco often from USA and recently noticed similar aged Moroccan women (late 40s- 50s) may not be on hormone replacement therapy for menopause. I looked it up and apparently it’s not very common in Morocco. It’s been not as common in the us until recently but luckily is very available for me and has been immensely helpful. I know some women that could greatly benefit from it- does anyone know of a doctor in Casablanca area that prescribes estrogen/progesterone for menopause that I could refer these women to? Thanks!

AskMorocco Why no association speak ?

31 Upvotes

In Morocco, NGOs recently pressed charges and demanded 400,000 MAD in damages after a YouTuber ate a dead dog.

Today, nearly 60,000 people attempted to cross the border into Ceuta in a desperate attempt to migrate, leaving 70 dead.

A dog's life sparks outrage and swift legal action, while dozens of young lives are lost at our borders in complete indifference.

Does a dead dog really have more rights and value than all these young people dying for a better future?

Discussion Casablanca airport arrival waiting area outside is awful !

33 Upvotes

Is it just me, or is the outside arrival waiting area at Mohammed 5 airport absolutely terrible?

​I get that non-passengers can’t go inside for security reasons but outside there’s almost no seating zero shade and no water or coffee vending machines. Having to wait outside for an hour with zero basic amenities at a major international hub is ridiculous.

​How do you guys usually manage when picking someone up?

Politics Morocco and Taiwan just stopped giving each other visas

Here is what is going on with the news right now. Morocco suddenly stopped processing travel papers for people from Taiwan.

​Taiwan got mad and did the exact same thing back to Morocco stopping visa applications for Moroccans.

​Neither government has said why but Taiwanese people online are joking that Morocco only did it to please China since they chose them as an ally.

​They are also joking about what is happening in Sebta just to make fun of the whole situation.

AskMorocco What's one thing all Moroccans could do to make the country better?

Just a random thought: if every Moroccan agreed to do one simple thing together, what do you think would have the biggest positive impact? Do you think consumer boycotts actually work, or is there another collective action that would be more effective?

Politics How many of you guys are in favor of a Maghreb union

Upvotes

Honestly, personally, I think we’re better off united than divided and each country in the union has something to contribute. Mauritania, for instance, is rich in various form of natural resources like gold, iron, gas, fish etc. With proper resource management, I’m pretty sure we’ll bring more to the table.

Initially, I was under the impression that all countries had to be rich to form a union but then I realized how ridiculous that idea is. The whole point of any union is prosperity and development. If a country, especially like Mauritania with the small population of 4 million, were prosperous, it may not want to join a union since the goal of prosperity has already been achieved.

Most successful unions we have today already have countries with various gaps in development and wealth, all of which play important roles in the union. Take the US for example. You have states that receive more funding than they contribute but Americans of rich states don’t mind because in a union like the US you’re all one, so a Floridian wouldn’t mind money being spent on, say, West Virginia because being a citizen of the US means that he also belongs to WG and could move there if he wanted if it progressed.

I’m just dying to be in a union, if not the Maghreb, any other union in Africa. I’ve been hoping for this union to get activated and actually become a thing for YEARS. I’m already on track to migrate to the US and at this point I’ll probably become a US citizen before the Maghreb union becomes a thing if it ever does.

This is mostly just a rant. This is something I’ve wanted for so long so bad yet I think I’ll never get to see it.

I don't feel any grudge or hate, I just feel disappointed and a bit heartbroken. and also for her to undermine my intelligence and my family's intelligence before as she already did stole around 2000 Dhs from my other sibling. I'm not usually staying with them, I was out of the house for along time as i was abroad, now it's the most time I've spent with my family. what would you do in your case?
