In his address at the 34th Arab League Summit held on May 17 in Baghdad, the King announced Morocco's decision to reopen its embassy in the Syrian capital, which had been closed since 2012. «This step will open broader horizons in the historical relations between our two countries and our two peoples», he stated.
The monarch also reaffirmed Morocco's consistent historical position on Syria, as expressed in his letter to President Ahmed Acharaa namely, support for the Syrian people's legitimate aspirations for freedom, security, and stability, along with a commitment to preserving Syria's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
On the same day, Syrian Foreign Minister Assaad Al-Chaibani expressed his country's gratitude and appreciation for the King's decision to restore diplomatic ties.
The reopening of the embassy also marks the completion of administrative formalities and renovation work ahead of its relocation to a new site, part of the renewed momentum in Moroccan-Syrian relations.

70% of Young Moroccans Don't Trust Elected Institutions, Study Finds
Rabat – A new report by the association Citoyens (Citizens) has revealed a serious 'crisis of trust' between Moroccan youth and elected institutions. According to the report, seven out of 10 young people said they do not trust elected officials or public institutions. The report describes this as a clear sign of growing doubt in democracy, saying it could threaten the future of political participation among younger generations. Titled 'How Do Young People View Civic Engagement?', the report shows that this lack of trust is not expressed through confrontation, but rather through silence and withdrawal. Many young people are stepping away from public life and showing little interest in politics, and feeling like their actions don't make a difference. One of the main reasons for this disinterest, the report explains, is the lack of real results in everyday life. Young people also say they find it difficult to reach out to elected officials and often feel like they are treated as a group that needs to be 'sensitized' rather than being seen as equal partners in decision-making. Young participants in the survey often expressed disappointment in public consultations that didn't lead to real change. Others complained about projects being launched without their actual involvement. This creates a feeling that democracy in Morocco is more about appearances than about real participation. The report also shows that Moroccan youth are very active online, especially on social media platforms. More than two out of three young people (68%) use digital platforms to express their opinions on political and social issues. However, they rarely see any engagement from public institutions in return. According to the report, government communication on social media is 'rare and one-sided,' with little to no response to comments or questions from citizens. This 'digital silence,' the report warns, increases feelings of neglect and disrespect among youth, pushing them further away from official channels of participation. Only half of young people reported using official participation tools such as petitions or public consultations. The reasons for this low usage include poor design, complicated interfaces, lack of mobile-friendly options, and no feedback from authorities. Tags: Moroccopoliticsyouth

Bouayach: Morocco's Transitional Justice Offers Lessons in Reconciliation, Reform
Rabat – Amina Bouayach, President of Morocco's National Human Rights Council and Chair of the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions, delivered an address during a regional human rights conference focused on transitional justice in Beirut. Speaking in the opening of a session dedicated to Morocco's experience, Bouayach described transitional justice as a necessary step toward rebuilding trust between the state and society, and laying the foundations for a future based on dignity, justice, and human rights. In her speech, Bouayach said that transitional justice is more than a process of looking into the past; it is about learning from it to build a better future. She called it a 'collective' vision of truth, justice, reparations, and reconciliation, and described Morocco's journey as a national choice made willingly to confront a painful history of human rights violations. 'National choice' She spoke of the importance of addressing the suffering of victims, especially those who endured torture and other grave abuses. She called for bold, transparent, and independent action in the region to rehabilitate victims and uphold justice. Bouayach stated clearly that the goal of zero torture is not only legitimate but achievable, and that Morocco is committed to promoting this vision in the broader regional and African context. The Moroccan experience began in 2004 with the creation of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission, known as the IER. This was the first such initiative in the Arab world, and it was born from years of civil society efforts to bring recognition and justice to victims of past state violence, Bouayach said. She added that the process was entirely Moroccan, led by national actors and supported by public participation, dialogue, and political will. Victims were given space to speak publicly, including on national TV and radio, and their testimonies were documented, published, and distributed without censorship. This process led to a number of legal and institutional reforms. The IER's final report included recommendations that were adopted at various levels, including changes to the constitution, new laws criminalizing torture, and the creation of mechanisms to prevent future violations, such as the National Preventive Mechanism against Torture. Bouayach said these steps represent a shift from dealing with past abuses to actively working to prevent new ones. Victims received financial compensation, support for psychological care, medical treatment, social reintegration, and retirement benefits for affected civil servants. Bouayach noted that a special budget is still allocated for ongoing medical support to victims. The process also paid attention to women's specific experiences to ensure that female victims received compensation that respected their dignity and provided for gender equality in accessing services. Throughout her remarks, Bouayach stated that Morocco's transitional justice path was not about copying other models or applying ready-made solutions. It was about building a new path step by step, rooted in national needs and realities. She said the process reflected a careful design that combined truth-seeking, reparations, and institutional reform in order to create a new and fair social contract. She explained that Morocco's effort did not take place in the aftermath of armed conflict. Instead, it was a political choice made by the state itself, acknowledging its responsibility for past abuses and seeking to restore trust. Bouayach concluded her address by summarizing the key takeaways from Morocco's journey. She notably said the process provided a model for how truth, justice, and reform can come together to break with the past and create lasting change. 'We at the National Human Rights Council remain fully committed and ready to share the lessons, practices, and methods of this experience with all our partners,' she said.

US Congress Publishes Full Bill Detailing Case to Designate Polisario as Terrorist Group
Rabat – The US Congress has officially published the full text introduced by Republican Congressman Joe Wilson, presenting a detailed case for designating the Polisario Front as a foreign terrorist organization. The bill covers multiple arguments to convince the US Congress to designate the Polisario Front as a terrorist group, highlighting its collusion with Iranian proxy Hezbollah as well as its involvement in violent attacks against Moroccan forces, as well as its role in destabilizing the Maghreb and Sahel regions. It is named the 'Polisario Front Terrorist Designation Act,' stressing the separatist group's documented history and operational ties with Iran. Documented history of operational ties with Iran 'The Polisario Front has a documented history of ideological and operational ties with Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, dating back at least to 1980, when Polisario fighters publicly posted with portraits of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in a bid to attract revolutionary credibility and Iranian patronage,' reads the congressional bill. It cites reports highlighting Hezbollah's collusion with Polisario, a reality whose uncovering prompted the severance of ties between Iran and Morocco in 2018. Morocco announced that year its decision to freeze diplomatic relations after it received evidence about the collusion, accusing Tehran of providing Polisario military and logistical support. While both Iran and Algeria denied the collusion, Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, and UN Permanent Representative Omar Hilale emphasized that Morocco had received indications and satellite proof of training and equipment provision links between Tehran and the separatist group. Hilale said in 2022 that Iran had 'gone from training to equipping the Polisario with drones.' The bill highlights this collusion, suggesting that Iran's support for the separatist group has reportedly advanced from training to the provision of lethal hardware. Images disseminated via Polisario-controlled social media channels attest to the separatist group's access to Iranian-type munitions, it adds. The congressional bill also pointed to the Washington Post's recent report, shedding light on Iranian support for the Polisario Front. 'The Washington Post reported in April 2025 that Iran has trained Polisario Front fighters and provided them with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), deepening concerns about the group's growing capabilities and external sponsorship,' says the bill. In its report, the Washington Post quoted sources who confirmed that Hezbollah was training the separatist group to advance its interests in the Sahel. 'Over the years, Iran has fostered a wide array of proxy groups to advance its interests,' the report said, noting that a regional official and a third European official had indicated that Iran had been training fighters from the Algeria-based separatist group that are now detained by Syria's new security forces. International appeal Like Wilson, many international officials have joined the growing chorus of voices urging their countries to label the separatist group as a terrorist group, given its involvement in destabilizing the region's security, particularly the Sahel. In June, Spanish news outlet La Provincia published an opinion piece recalling the separatist group's attacks against workers from Fos Bucraa, fishermen from the Canary Islands, and civilians from the Basque Country. The author of the piece, Igacio Ortiz, emphasized that the call to designate Polisario as a terrorist group should not be a mere political theater: 'On the contrary, it should be a moral imperative.' In addition, former UK Secretary of State for Defense, Liam Fox, made the same appeal. 'Like Hamas and Hezbollah, the Polisario Front is an Iranian proxy organization,' Fox said. 'For the sake of our Moroccan allies, Western governments must move quickly to designate this group as a terrorist organisation.' Tags: Algeria and polisarioalgeria and the polisario front
