After updating Morocco's map to include the Sahara, France revises the Kingdom's total area
This update reflects the political decisions made by Paris, notably following the letter sent by President Emmanuel Macron to King Mohammed VI on July 30, 2024.
Earlier this week, the French ambassador inaugurated a visa application office in Laayoune, marking another step in this policy shift. This opening follows the announcement of a €150 million investment in Morocco's Saharan provinces, made by the Director General of the French Development Agency (AFD) during a visit to Laayoune.
It's worth recalling that in February, both the President of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, and the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, visited Laâyoune and Dakhla separately.

Moroccan Youth Delegation Visits Israel Amid Ongoing Gaza Genocidal Starvation
Rabat — A Moroccan youth delegation visited Israel last weekend, sparking controversy as the trip took place during Israel's continued genocidal assaults and starvation on Gaza. The Israeli Atidna Association in Haifa reportedly hosted the group. 'We welcomed a distinguished delegation from the Kingdom of Morocco to the offices of Atidna Association in Haifa,' the association said in a statement. 'The visit aimed to learn about the association's work model and its deep impact in building a leadership generation within the Arab community in Israel.' The association added that during the meeting, they 'reviewed milestones from our journey, achievements we are proud of, and initiatives that have made a real difference in the lives of thousands of young people.' A commentator lamented the group over the visit to Israel on X, saying: 'A Moroccan youth delegation learns 'leadership' from children killers in Haifa, meanwhile Gaza is being bombarded.' The visit comes as the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) maintain a brutal siege on the genocide-torn Gaza, defying international pressure. This normalization effort takes place as Israel's genocide in Gaza continues and IOF-induced famine is catastrophically spreading with increasing brutality. Critics described the visitors as 'new normalizers' who received a warm welcome at the Haifa-based association. According to the statement, the meeting reportedly included discussions about 'the importance of empowering youth and connecting Arab communities worldwide through education, learning, and social innovation.' The association called the visit 'an inspiring visit that carries messages of hope, partnership, and a shared future.' Strong opposition at home Moroccan visits to Israel, especially after the genocide on Gaza, face widespread rejection and strong condemnation from anti-normalization groups in Morocco and organizations supporting the Palestinian cause. Opponents of these visits consider such steps a betrayal of Palestinian struggles and a provocation to Moroccan feelings. Anti-normalization activists argue these visits do not fall under dialogue or cultural exchange. Instead, they believe such trips promote normalization and polish Israel's image despite its ongoing criminal genocide on Gaza. Tags: GazaIsraelMoroccan delegationMoroccoPalestine

King Mohammed VI Marks 26 Years of Reform, Global Leadership
Rabat — Twenty-six years ago today, King Mohammed VI became the 23rd monarch of Morocco's Alaouite dynasty. He ascended the throne on July 30, 1999, not only inheriting power but also inheriting and advancing a vision of modernity, inclusion, and national strength. From the beginning, the King championed major social initiatives. In 2004, he reformed the Family Code, known as the Mudawana, granting women greater rights and gender equality. In late 2024 and early 2025, King Mohammed VI took direct leadership of Morocco's comprehensive reforms to the country's Family Code, guiding a process described as both balanced and holistic. He personally chaired royal working sessions in Casablanca, where he instructed the government to align proposed changes with Islamic precepts while responding to modern social realities. King Mohammed VI's vision framed the reform as a social project reinforcing the family unit, rather than a narrow women's rights agenda, stressing inclusive consultation — bringing together ulemas, civil society actors, and government authorities — to ensure the revision promotes justice and solidarity across the family structure. In 2005, the King launched the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), targeting poverty and social exclusion through community-focused programs in health, education, and income support. His Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, founded in 1999, has since disbursed over MAD 3.3 billion ($ 365.524 million) to support vulnerable groups and disaster relief. The King also oversaw an infrastructure boom. Morocco now boasts Africa's longest high-speed rail line, Al Boraq, linking Casablanca, Rabat, Kenitra, and Tangier at speeds up to 320 km/h, making it the continent's first HSR network. The road network has expanded from 1,800 km of highways toward an expected 3,000 km by 2030, helping the country rank second in African infrastructure after South Africa. Flagship projects like the Tanger-Med port and the Mohammed VI Tower in Salé further reflect modern urban development. Green energy and economic diversification King Mohammed VI pressed Morocco toward renewable energy, raising its national target from 42% to 52% of installed capacity by 2030, and pushing ahead with the massive Ouarzazate solar complex. During Throne Day celebrations in July 2023, the King commended OCP Group's green energy initiatives, linking sustainability to industrial resilience. Under his leadership, Morocco built a competitive industrial base. Programs like the Emergence Plan and National Pact for Industrial Emergence powered growth in automotive, aeronautics, and electronics. Investments in tourism, agriculture, and digital innovation strengthened the national economy and helped position Morocco as a regional hub. Democratic reform and cultural recognition In response to the Arab Spring, King Mohammed VI revised the 2011 constitution. The update reduced royal power, boosted parliamentary authority, stressed gender equality, and cemented good governance principles. That year, he also recognized Amazigh (Berber) identity by establishing the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture in 2001 and committing to its inclusion in education and media. Pan-African diplomacy and global influence Morocco's foreign policy under Mohammed VI has been proactive and panoramic. The country rejoined the African Union in 2017 and forged new 'South–South' partnerships across sub-Saharan Africa. The annual International Africa Development Forum in Casablanca, launched in 2010, reflects Morocco's growing role as a continental investment hub. In June 2025, King Mohammed VI urged African leaders at the 'Africa for the Ocean' summit in Nice to take charge of maritime resources, indicating that oceans as key to sustainable development and security. Western Sahara: sovereignty and recognition The King's diplomatic efforts have dramatically shifted the Western Sahara narrative. His 2007 Autonomy Plan envisions self-governance for the region under Moroccan sovereignty. Ever since, the UN Security Council has described the plan as 'serious and credible.' In 2020, the US formally recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara, while France followed in July 2024, offering similar endorsement and pledging €10 billion in regional investment. Just this week, Portugal also backed the plan, calling it a 'serious and credible basis' for settlement. Religious tolerance and security cooperation The King has positioned Morocco as a leading advocate for religious moderation. He backed the 2016 Marrakech Declaration promoting interfaith harmony and actively funds imam training programs across the Sahel to combat extremism. In 2022–23, Morocco and the UN launched the Marrakech Platform to coordinate regional counter-terrorism efforts. 25 years later: legacy of progress and promise King Mohammed VI has turned Morocco into a model of reform: modern infrastructure, a green-energy economy, democratic strides, cultural recognition, and cross-continental diplomacy. His leadership has raised Morocco's regional profile — stabilizing, prosperous, and inclusive. Still, pressures from climate stress and socio-economic disparity remain. As Morocco approaches its next phase, the King's commitment to sustainable development and international partnership will prove critical in steering the nation forward.

During the ceremony, new officers from various military, paramilitary, and civilian schools and institutes will swear allegiance before the King. The monarch will also offer a luncheon on Thursday. King Mohammed VI ascended to the throne on July 30, 1999, following the death of his father, the late King Hassan II. Under his leadership, Morocco witnessed waves of reforms, contributing to socio-economic development and infrastructure revamping. Every year, King Mohammed VI addresses Morocco's people with speeches tackling several topics from Morocco's momentum in the Western Sahara dossier to the socio-political and economic challenges the country is committed to addressing. Last year, the monarch's speech focused on renewing his commitment to the Moroccan diaspora. In the speech, he re-instructed the government to enhance efforts in supporting diaspora projects and facilitating administrative procedures to facilitate and accompany their business ventures in Morocco.
