Nothing against aiding people in need, but isn't there any other way to give aids to china while we 're beating the hell out our own poeple...

Hi Hicham,

Usually this kind of transfer isn't money, it's aid in various forms, could be blankets, medicine, medical equipment, it's rarely actual money, it's an aid with a value of 1 mln US$.
Besides, it's a symbol more than anything, any of the chinese billionnaires across the world could send 10 mln without dropping a sweat.
But think of the politics of the gesture for instance in the UN when a vote comes up on the Sahara issue, don't you think the cynicism of that thought hasn't crossed the mind of our representatives ?smiling smiley

You are definitely right, i should have articulated my question in a different way.. But it is a bit frustrating from a local point of view to see that we care for votes in the UN and don't even care for a minimum adhesion from inside our country....

There is nothing wrong in trying to help others even if one needs help too. That is very noble thought hope it will reach those needy ones.

Actually i wanted to draw the attention to what happened lately in Sidi Ifni, off course, helping other nations is an obligation, but helping ourselves by treating our people with dignity is more than an obligation, it's a fundamental right, instead, still keep "siassat tawjiha", meaning cleaning the façade and keeping the inside...DIRTY

I hope you well mate , yes we still do it & the leopard wont change his spots as you know ....but the way forwards is to work at both levels ...sort out the issue inside without loosing the chance to be part of the outside world & have a position up there .....
I have this facade issue the other day in Mohamed V airport when RAM decided to leave everyone's luggage in Ouarzazate & told us come back for it tomorrow ..... we still talk the talk but we do not walk yet ...

It's all about POLITICS They can not pay their "Fonctionaires" Comme Mr. Taoufik au consulat de NY qui m'a franchement demandé pour une corruption et comme je ne crois pas en corrupter; mon passeport n'a pas eté renouveler pour 4 ans. Mais biensure nous avons de l'argent pour aider China. La façade de l'arrogance du gouvernement Marocain

I’m sorry guys ,I think this is got nothing to do with helping china (as we say in morocco limay han 3la khoh may hanch 3la lokhrine) our government sold our marketplace to china for billions dollars , we are now just garbage pile for the lower china merchandise .
