French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Morocco on Thursday, heading a delegation composed of ministers and businessmen. Once in Tangier, he inaugurated alongside King Mohammed VI the Kingdom’s first high-speed rail line.
Following the commemoration of the First World War Armistice in France, many tabloids and newspapers published a series of videos showing King Mohammed VI dozing off at the ceremony. The news was exploited by some newspapers, especially those close to the Polisario.
Several days after King Mohammed VI announced that Morocco is ready to strengthen diplomatic relations with Algeria through a new «mechanism», authorized Algerian sources described the Moroccan initiative as a «non-event».
