Recently, the Royal cabinet has become accustomed to communicating about the illnesses of King Mohammed VI. The communiqué published yesterday is therefore not a surprise. While this is seen as an exception for some neighboring countries, it is nowadays a common practice that stands as a primordial rule in the exercise of power in other regions.
Urged by NGOs to interfere in the favor of the Hirak detainees, Emmanuel Macron claimed that “a will to repress” the Rif by the Moroccan authorities is hardly occurring. A supporting statement that tends to be less surprising.
