A bill, planning to restrict freedom of expression when using social media platforms, has stirred controversy in Morocco. After internet users rejected it, the bill received mixed views from party leaders in the Kingdom.
Since it was adopted on March 19, Bill 22.20 has been missing. The text, which was expected to tighten freedom of expression on social media, has not been submitted to Parliament.
In 2019, Morocco spent more than $3.76 billion on military expenditure. While the Kingdom increased its military spendings by only $65 million, Algeria allocated $10.33 billion to military expenses.
In order to compete with Morocco on the African scene, Algeria has set up an international cooperation agency, as instructed by President Tebboune.
Thousands of Moroccans living abroad (dual nationals or not) found themselves stranded in Morocco amid the lockdown. Some of them were unable to return to the countries where they live due to an alleged blockage by the Moroccan authorities.
Much to the chagrin of the Polisario leadership, a Sahrawi wrote an open letter to Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune, criticizing him for not shouldering Algeria’s commitment to the camp’s inhabitants during these difficult times.
According to Israeli Army radio, Morocco would have reportedly refused to repatriate Israeli nationals stranded in the Kingdom. Quoted by Israeli media, the same source explains that Morocco’s opposition to the plan would be due to Emirati intervention.
