Kudos to Sudarsan Raghavan for his May 13 The World article, “In a tight alley, Tangier’s last link to the Beat Generation feels broken,” in which he tracked down Moroccan writer and artist Mohammed Mrabet, who had known Paul Bowles and other expatriate American literary figures who lived in colorful Tangier in the 1950s and ’60s.
My only regret was the article’s brief and vague reference to “a museum on the Rue d’Amerique.” I wish the reporter had told readers more about that unique place, which dates back to about 1821 and is now called the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies. It is not just a public museum but also a lively cultural center and a research facility. And it has a whole wing dedicated to Bowles, the remarkable writer, translator and composer who lived more than …

Omar is a 21-year-old gay Moroccan. He spends his life looking over his shoulder, trying not to draw attention to himself. I interviewed Omar while researching my book, Gender and Violence in the Middle East , and he told me:
Personally, I try to be discreet, avoid getting too much attention when I'm in certain places or with people who could react badly.
Omar's fears are rooted in the fact that homosexuality is a criminal offence in Morocco, as it is in many other African countries. The law combines with a strongly conservative society to create a real sense of danger for members of Morocco's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) communities.
And, as I point out in my book, the weight of Islam – Morocco is a predominantly Muslim country – adds another dimension, accentuating gay people's feelings of denial, self-loathing and guilt….. http://menafn.com/1096913895/Love-violence-and-daily-survival-inside-Moroccos-LGBTIQ-community==============================================================

Morocco’s Minister of Education Said Amzazi has unveiled his ambitious new national education plan to address infrastructure, pedagogy, and violence in schools.
The minister presented his plan, which projects through the 2021-2022 school year, to the Committee on Education, Culture, and Communication in the second chamber of Parliament on May 16. The new education plan largely continues and builds upon the former education minister’s program, which targeted the expansion of school facilities and infrastructure and the early integration of an increasingly Francophone pedagogical approach…………….

Ramadan … what a wonderful period of the year! If the holy month means fasting from sunrise until sunset, getting close to God, self cleansing and reflection time, it also means being around (or meeting) people who have special habits, and a unique way of dealing with Ramadan.
From those who get angry or sleep all day to those who count the minutes, here are 15 types of people you have probably met (or will meet) during the holy month.
The sleeping beauties: Sleeping is their religion. Fasting from sunrise until sunset means sleeping from sunrise until sunset for some people. They do not even care what time it is as long as they wake up before the maghreb adan (at sunset)………………

Many believe that the language situation in Morocco is more of a conflict than an advantage. Most language conflicts stem from the unbalanced status allocated to each language in a single country.
Language conflicts take place, most of the time, in multilingual countries such as Morocco. Its strategic location at the gateway between Africa, Europe, and the Middle East has caused Morocco to be influenced by multiple waves such as the Arabs, Spaniards, Portuguese, and French. Morocco has a variety of languages spoken within the country.
The first group includes Moroccan Arabic and Tamazight (Berber), which are held in low esteem by society. The second group includes French and Standard Arabic, which are the languages of administration and are held in high esteem by Moroccans. This interaction between languages creates a realm for competition, which results in a class struggle, as Grandguillaume puts it (Saib, 2001: 5).

My younger son was asleep when I pulled the rental car into a gas station just outside of the capital. After the attendant filled the tank, he opened the back door of the car and reached in to adjust my son’s head gently in his car seat before ruffling his brother’s hair. Without a word, he closed the door and turned his attention to the car behind me.
It was a moment that would occur again and again during the three months I lived in Morocco last year with my sons, ages 5 and 3 at the time. Strangers embraced my Moroccan-born children, claiming them as their own. I had adopted the boys from an orphanage in Meknes, in the central part of the country, when they were infants. This was their first trip back to the place they were born, and although they are loved in America, although they are now dual citizens traveling on American passports and although they are fully mine, in so many ways, they also belong to Morocco.

Professor Wael Hallaq’s The Impossible State is one of the most important, groundbreaking and erudite books on the subject of “modernity and Islam.” It should be read, indeed studied carefully, by every person who is even slightly concerned with the calamitous situation that our global community and planet are undergoing and have been suffering from for centuries.
The fact that this disease called modernity is getting exponentially more lethal with the passage of time is hardly a controversial statement. We can readily observe evidence for this claim in the symptoms this illness continues to exhibit, such as the massacre of the Palestinian people, a genocide which large segments of the “human” population, patently devoid of our last shreds of humanity, witness in silence (another symptom). As I have written before here and elsewhere, we are all accountable for this genocide. Cowardice and silence are not an option. Although The Impossible State does not specifically address the tragic situation of the Palestinians, it does elucidate its cause, which is also the source of the discontent, emptiness and fragmentation most modern subjects experience on a daily basis. Professor Hallaq takes a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose the problems of modernity and, grounded in his unparalleled knowledge of Islamic history in general and the Sharia in particular, produces a unique critique of modernity from outside modernity. ……………….

The Moroccan musical scene has, by definition, changed throughout the last decades of the twentieth century up to today.
Compared to the 1970s, Moroccans have neither the same political awareness, nor the same mode of thinking. I am not criticizing this fact, but rather, saying that the musical scene has definitely moved from the top down.
Nass El-Ghiwane, El-Malhoune, El-Ayta, Taktouta El-Jabaliya, and all the other purely Moroccan traditional songs disappeared with the fading of an audience who was able to understand and relate to the content of these songs. While Nass El-Ghiwane and El-Ayta used to tackle purely political issues, El-Malhoune addressed the daily life of women inside harems and love stories that took place in riad gardens and on rooftops……………

For centuries, Moroccan women have been turning to natural, home grown ingredients in order to achieve their radiant complexions and glossy strands.
Cultural cleansing:
The hammam is a traditional bathing and cleansing ritual that is said to increase circulation, release toxins, and purify the skin. For most Moroccans, the hammam is more than a day at the spa; it’s a vital part of their lifestyle. Though the exact experience may vary from place to place, the hammam is usually divided into three steps.

They roam Morocco's southern desert, braving the searing heat to scour the undulating sands for bounty fallen from the sky. These celestial treasure hunters are searching for meteorites to sell on a burgeoning international market. Equipped with a "very strong" magnet and magnifying glass, retired physical education teacher Mohamed Bouzgarine says that discoveries "can be more valuable than gold".
The price "depends on the rock's rarity, its shape and its condition", the 59-year old adds, sporting a dark blue tracksuit, lighter blue scarf and sunglasses. "Rocks coming from Mars are very expensive, sometimes as much as 10,000 dirhams (around $1,000, 900 euros) per gram," he says. Bouzgarine stops in front of a hollow, hoping it could be a crater formed "very long ago" by extraterrestrial matter.

Background, intentions, and progressKing Mohammed VI established the Cities Without Slums program in 2004 in the wake of the 2003 Casablanca terrorist attacks, when 12 suicide bombers from the shantytown of Sidi Moumen, a poor suburb of Casablanca, killed 45 people and injured hundreds more.

STURT St’s Sahara Moroccan Casbah tea house looks tiny at first glance. The front room seats maybe a dozen people. But that’s just the prelude to a place that has grown and grown over the past 20 years.
It’s now a Moroccan tea shop and diner, Moroccan goods emporium and, most importantly, a place where owner Ali Arhbal can escape the stresses of daily life.
To de-stress, Arhbal has found a most unexpected form of therapy – tiling his cafe with traditional Moroccan tiles. “I’m very happy with the beauty of this place,” he says. “It feels good here.” Arhbal’s shop didn’t begin as a tea house. It opened 20 years ago as a Moroccan shoes and homewares store. When WOMADelaide started and Queensland’s Woodford Folk Festival also gathered pace, Arhbal headed to both – bringing his goods, as well as Moroccan food and drums………

Sometimes, perhaps, the most compelling stories are those suggested, murmured, mimicked, like the sound of a toddler in early stages of speech: stories that are revealed through an artfully calculated prose.
This brings to mind the mantra with which aspiring writers are being tortured: “Show, don’t tell; less is more.” The suggestion, I think I now know, is this: at times, simplicity is more evocative, more sophisticated, and, ultimately, more vibrant than pompous language. I still have qualms about such a posture.
I’ve never been truly convinced by this minimalist gospel. To me, a fervent lover of flowery and sinuous prose, literary minimalism sounds like somebody telling me that the best way to speak is to actually ‘not speak’; it feels, as Paul West put it, like “a lion afraid of meat.” The Nigerian writer Chigozie Obioma makes the case more brilliantly than I in his magnificent essay in defense of “audacious prose.” …

Morocco's nomadic tribes are gradually giving up their traditional way of life to offer their children formal education. Many of Morocco's nomadic communities living across the Atlas Mountains, like the Ait Atta tribe, are gradually changing their way of life from roaming herders to part settlers - or what sociologists call "a sedentary lifestyle".
But such fundamental change comes challenges, as well as opportunities.
Traditionally, nomads do not receive a formal education. However in the past decade, there have been moves to introduce what they call "tent schools" to try and equip their children for the modern world. But for them to attend school, their families have to remain in one place all year. It might also mean that the children ultimately leave their parents' traditional nomadic way of life. "They told us they'd provide education for our children if we settled in a particular place," says nomad Daoud Ariba.
Helping with that adjustment are social activists like Ali El Amine. It was his idea to bring the tent schools to the region, with help from international agencies and the Moroccan government……..

An online boycott campaign protesting rising food prices in Morocco has prompted the local unit of French dairy giant Danone to cut raw milk purchases and plan layoffs, underscoring the political and economic cost of simmering unrest in the North African monarchy.
The campaign, which began last month on Facebook, initially singled out Centrale Danone, mineral water company Oulmes and the country’s leading fuel distributor, Afriquia SMDC. It later expanded to include the country’s fish markets, as anger simmered over the uptick in consumer prices that hit 2.7 percent in April, its highest level since 2013.

NGO Transparency Maroc has heavily criticized the government’s stance against the ongoing boycott against increases in prices. The organization said that the boycott faced “intense suppression.”
The NGO claims that the boycott was met with harsh remonstrations, like the Hirak Rif protests in the Al Hoceima province, ‘Hirak Al Atach’ (thirst protest) in Zagora, and Jerada’s protests against illegal mining.
In a statement published on May 22, Transparency Maroc described the online campaign as an “extension” of the social movements of the Hirak Rif, Zagora, and Jerada that denounced social disparities across the country

It is one of those concepts that has always seemed theoretically possible, so short is the distance between A and B - and yet, equally, like a flight of fantasy from a Jules Verne novel, unrealistic beyond the realms of imagination.
It floats between the two extremes - wholly conceivable on the drawing board, and yet, also, the engineering equivalent of a dragon or a unicorn in the simple facts of nuts and bolts. So near, but also, so far.
What is this referring to? To the cluster of cranes on the horizon that has long been mooted, but never attempted - a tunnel that runs underneath the Strait of Gibraltar. As Verne himself put it in his sub-aqua spectacular Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, "it was obvious that the matter had to be settled, and evasions were distasteful to me.
So it has proved this week, with fresh murmurings as to how, why and when such a blast from the future could be created. Remarks, initially reported in the Andalusian newspaper Diaro de Cadiz - attributed to the Spanish planning group SECEGSA, and its president Rafael García-Monge Fernández - have suggested that not only is the idea of a "land" link between Spain and Morocco feasible, it is a proposal where wheels are beginning to turn.

Why do French winds get such poetic names? In Provence, it’s the “mistral” that sweeps across Provence in winter, flattening fields of lavender with its bitter gusts.
Along the west coast of Morocco, it’s the “alizé,” a trade wind blowing off the Atlantic. Sheltered from the surf by offshore islands, the port of Essaouira is nonetheless a notoriously breezy spot, attracting windsurfers and kite-flyers but relatively few sunbathers.
Alizé notwithstanding, Essaouira seduces. The harbor town south of Casablanca, known as Mogador during the era of Portuguese dominance, has been variously home to Roman conquerors, Iberian explorers, French urban planners — and a prosperous Sephardic merchant community whose Jewish legacy remains one of Africa’s most tangible. ………………

Confronted with a growing social protest movement for several months, King Mohammed VI has a card to play to ease tensions: the release of the Hirak detainees. For several weeks now, a growing boycott movement has been rallying Moroccans against the companies who are charging high prices for some of their products: Centrale laitiere (dairy products), Sidi Ali (mineral water), owned by Miriem Bensalah Chaqroun, former president of the Moroccan employers' association, as well as Afriquia (fuel stations), which belongs to Aziz Akhannouch, a Moroccan billionaire close to the king, who is also president of the Rassemblement national des indépendants (RNI), a political party that controls key government departments.
State vs societyThe campaign organisers say the boycott was justified by the high selling prices of milk, mineral water and fuel. Soon the campaign turned into a social movement against the rising costs of living. Online protesters have taken to Twitter and Facebook, creating pages to raise awareness of the "exorbitant" prices of the three companies.
The Moroccan government, as part of a lukewarm response, first downplayed the impact of the boycott, then vilified the movement, before eventually resigning itself to taking it seriously, which helped increase the boycott's impact and transform it into a duel of society against the state. The narrative embraced by boycott organisers also helped define its goals: lower product prices, improve living standards, and denounce inequality and the growing social divide………….
