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.
Morocco is trying to convince Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain that Qatar shouldn’t be their enemy. For that sake, a second communiqué was issued yesterday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation referring to Iran as the real threat in the region that attempts to «undermine the supreme interests of these countries».
