Morocco expands military attaché network in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Argentina, and Pakistan
As a reminder, during the Ministerial Council chaired by King Mohammed VI on May 12, a decree was adopted concerning the status of military attachés, their deputies, and other military personnel.
The inclusion of three African nations highlights the strong political and economic ties Morocco shares with these countries. The military expertise of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) is especially valued across the continent. Institutionalized cooperation with the Ethiopian and Nigerian armed forces, through exchange visits and training programs hosted in Morocco, serves as a model for similar partnerships with other African states.
In the case of Pakistan, Rabat and Islamabad are reportedly preparing to sign a military cooperation agreement that could include the local production of Pakistani weapons in Morocco. As for Argentina, considered, like Brazil, a regional military power, the presence of a FAR attaché in Buenos Aires aligns with Morocco's strategy to diversify its international defense partnerships and suppliers.
Morocco had previously appointed military attachés to its embassies in India and Turkey during the Ministerial Council held on July 14, 2022.

The Rif separatist party acknowledges Spain's «sovereignty» over Ceuta and Melilla
Following a recent gathering in Algiers, the so-called «Rif Nationalist Party» is now shifting its focus to Spain. In a surprising move, the party, which identifies as «Rif nationalist», has publicly recognized Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla, echoing the position of another separatist group, the Polisario Front. «For us, Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish territories. This is an undeniable historical fact», declared Ridouane Oussama, leader of the separatist movement, in an interview with a Madrid-based newspaper. The statement appears aimed at reassuring Spanish political, military, and security circles. With backing from Algiers, the Rif separatist group is seeking to establish a branch in Melilla. Oussama argues that Spain has a responsibility to support his party's secessionist aspirations. By helping to «liberate a people», he claims, Spain could «correct a historical mistake», a tactic reminiscent of the Polisario Front's long-standing appeals for support from Madrid. «An independent Rif would allow Spain to resolve internal challenges, particularly around security and terrorism», Oussama asserted. In exchange for Spanish support, he promises Madrid «a friendly neighbor across the border». He emphasized what he described as enduring cultural ties between the Rif and Spain: «The Rif and the Spanish, especially in the south, share a cultural blend. We are very close culturally. The population there is made up of 50% Rifains and 50% Spaniards», he said. Oussama went further, arguing that «Spain has an interest in an independent Rif, as it would help ease Morocco's pressure on issues like immigration and territorial claims over Ceuta and Melilla». He even praised Spain's former colonial presence in the Rif: «Our grandparents tell us the Spanish occupation was better than the Moroccan one», he claimed. In making this statement, he disregards the suffering of thousands of Rif residents who were victims of chemical attacks by Spanish forces in the 1920s, an episode still remembered by certain segments of Spanish society. It's worth recalling that in November 2021, two Catalan parties, the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and Together for Catalonia (Junts).called on the Spanish government, through a non-binding resolution, to formally apologize for the use of chemical weapons against civilians in the Rif.

Madrid Reportedly Ends Four-Decade Arabic Language Program
Rabat — The Community of Madrid will reportedly end its participation in the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Teaching Program starting in the 2025/26 school year. Spanish news sources reported that the regional government cited a lack of guarantees for proper functioning as the main reason for the decision. The Ministry of Education, Science, and Universities announced the measure on Thursday, affecting more than 1,400 students across 70 Madrid schools. Authorities have reportedly detected 'serious malfunctions' in recent years that make continuing the program impossible. This decision breaks a bilateral agreement Spain and Morocco signed in 1985, potentially ending nearly four decades of cooperation in cultural education. Madrid officials point to several problems with the program's management. The ministry says it lacks transparency and proper institutional control over teacher selection and content development. The program operates under the Spanish Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Moroccan Embassy. Morocco directly selects and sends Moroccan officials to teach in Spanish schools, which Madrid authorities find problematic. 'We don't have visibility or participation in the teacher selection process,' Spanish news outlet El Faro de Ceuta reported the Madrid Ministry of Education as saying, adding that officials also question whether Morocco properly evaluates teachers' pedagogical training, Spanish language skills, or teaching programs. The regional government says it cannot verify if teachers receive adequate pedagogical and didactic training or if authorities check their Spanish proficiency before assigning them to schools. Program structure and participation Madrid offers the program only as an extracurricular activity outside compulsory school hours. The 2024/25 academic year saw 1,434 Madrid students participate in the program. Other regions show higher participation rates. Catalonia leads with 2,151 students, followed by Andalusia with 1,810 participants. The program currently operates in twelve autonomous communities across Spain. The initiative targets children from Moroccan families living in Spain. It aims to preserve their cultural heritage, promote bilingualism, and support sociocultural integration. Most schools nationwide choose to offer the program outside regular school hours, though the bilateral agreement allows integration into compulsory curricula. Political background and opposition Madrid officials insist that political pressure did not influence their decision, despite repeated calls from the Vox party, known for its hostility to Morocco, to eliminate the program. In April, Vox submitted a non-legislative motion to the Madrid Assembly demanding the program's removal. Más Madrid and PSOE rejected the proposal, while the Popular Party (PP) abstained from voting. The PP avoided supporting complete elimination but expressed concerns about 'structural deficiencies' in the program. The PP demanded greater regional oversight and suggested that Madrid administration teachers should handle instruction instead of Moroccan officials. The party even proposed an amendment warning that Madrid would withdraw if authorities did not correct identified problems. Tags: Arabic Language ProgramMoroccan CultureMorocco and SpainSpain

Akhannouch: Expanding Telecom Access Nationwide Is a National Priority
Rabat – Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, emphasized on Friday the urgent need to accelerate the expansion of telecommunications networks across the country, calling it a vital national priority that can no longer be delayed. Speaking at the board meeting of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT) in Rabat, Akhannouch highlighted that, despite the progress achieved by telecom operators and regulatory bodies, large segments of the population — particularly in rural and mountainous regions — still lack reliable access to telecommunications services. 'Ensuring access to quality telecom services for all citizens is no longer optional — it is a pressing need that requires immediate action,' Akhannouch stated, underlining the role of connectivity in reducing regional and digital inequalities. He urged the ANRT and relevant ministries to identify underserved areas and work together to rapidly deploy telecom infrastructure that meets the needs of those communities. The government stands ready to fully support these efforts and mobilize the necessary resources to close the digital gap, he argued. Akhannouch also reaffirmed Morocco's commitment to a comprehensive digital transformation, guided by the national 'Morocco Digital 2030' strategy. He stressed that universal access to high-speed internet and digital tools is crucial for inclusive socio-economic development and for keeping pace with global technological shifts. Beyond service 'Telecommunications is not just a service — it's a driver of national development,' he said. 'It supports job creation, improves competitiveness across sectors, and lays the foundation for sustainable, inclusive growth.' He noted that Morocco has already made major strides, with over 57 million mobile subscribers and nearly 40 million internet users. These achievements have placed Morocco among the top-performing African countries in the International Telecommunication Union's ICT Development Index. Looking ahead, Akhannouch said that Morocco must be ready to meet the demands of upcoming international events it will host, including the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 FIFA World Cup, by strengthening its telecom infrastructure and internet coverage. He confirmed that efforts are underway to connect more than 5.2 million households by 2030 through expanded fiber optic networks and high-speed internet access. In addition, the rollout of 5G is in progress, with tender procedures already launched to introduce the technology in key cities. Akhannouch concluded by commending the efforts of telecom operators who continue to invest and innovate in the sector. He called on all stakeholders to remain committed to building a more connected, digitally inclusive Morocco. Despite significant progress in expanding telecommunications infrastructure, Morocco still has many remote villages, particularly in mountainous and rural areas, that remain without basic connectivity or internet access. These underserved regions face ongoing challenges in accessing essential digital services, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive network coverage to ensure that all citizens benefit equally from the country's digital transformation efforts.
