Suddenly, half of the planet's population enters the quarries, and all public places are closed due to the emerging Corona virus, the borders are closed in March 2020, and people are forced to abandon their hobbies outside their homes.     The modern world with all its power found itself in front of a hidden enemy, a microscopic virus that is not seen with the naked eye, and cannot be killed with bullets, ballistic missiles, or advanced MiG- or F-35 aircraft and other weapons that have turned into mere junk in front of Covid 19, which infected more than 45 million people around the world, According to worldometers   site . And it has killed more than 1 million and 182 thousand people so far and needs special weapons to confront it.   There are many unconventional weapons that some countries used in their war on the virus, in the early days of pandemic, and these weapons that could be decisive in the future, including:   Weapon of will Will was th...

The stage of living with Corona virus in Morocco

                                    Image expressive Morocco has entered a new and unprecedented phase in its confrontation with the emerging Corona virus, after the total number of confirmed cases in the Kingdom exceeded the 100,000 cases.  I have personally noticed that people are no longer afraid of virus  as it was in last March possibly because they have become accustomed to the virus and its daily news.  These numbers were not expected by anyone last March, and the worst expectations were 10 thousand cases in the third stage, but the foci and subsequent developments raised the numbers in an unprecedented way.    However, this increase in the number of cases is accompanied by a calm among some citizens, who are no longer afraid of injuries as it was in the past, which is a strange paradox.   Have Moroccans actually entered the stage of living with the virus, or is...

It all started in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019, a mysterious  virus that targets people with respiratory tract, a deadly virus, but its danger is that it is invisible and spreads at a record speed. As of this writing, 1431 cases was confirmed in morocco, according to data from the Ministry of Health, and globally, it has infected 1 million, 611 thousand and 80. according Johns Hopkins University of medcine.

On December 22nd, I had the opportunity as a journalist to attend the derby between Wydad and Raja, who is Derby 127 of Round 10 of the Moroccan Professional Championship, where IT ended up defeating WYDAD , the RED team FRONT OF its traditional rival RAJA WITH goal TO  zero. In Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, the derby day is dominated by two colors with no third, green, which is the color of RAJA, and red, which is the color of widad. The confrontations between two teams are historical. Al-Ahmar  red team was established in 1947, and the Green team was established in 1949, and they are two ancient teams in Morocco. They have a long history of playing, titles and championships, and they are the most famous teams in Morocco and the Arab world. But in this post I will not talk much about football as a game and about confrontation on the field, but I will talk about confrontation in the stands between fans, where the amount of creativity and mess...

Casablanca ... catch a bus if you can!

Wahid rushes to take a bus to the famous Shark district in the far-end of Casablanca after completing his studies in the evening, hoping to get up early to see the bus, which may be delayed and delayed in the lesson. Wahid is a university student suffering from a public transport crisis in the center of Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, due to traffic and a lack of buses. Rachida is also suffering because of the transport crisis. She is married and has children living in Mohammedia and works in Casablanca, where she spends more than two hours on public transport. Rachida and Wahid are just among the thousands who suffer from old green buses that barely meet the needs of the big city. Although the tramway has slightly reduced the crisis, transport in Casablanca is a major dilemma, especially for those who live far away in areas that are not connected by the tramway. The suffering of the Ovalans with transport will continue to the next year, with the sufferi...

The shock of the "African cup" ​​.. When Moroccans can rejoice in the World Cup ?!

The question seems strange, but we have the right to ask it to  the officials of thefootball in the country. As long as the setbacks have accompanied us for decades over the national team, I try in this article to give my opinion impartially, as a citizen to copmare our  with other teams,, and it is my right as a spectator to ask questions and answer from the officials . Since 1976, the orphan cup has been moved by the tongues and its analysis here and there until the man became more shy than some of those who boast of the presence of a football team that can make the difference and our self-esteem is very weak and we rejoice in trivial things. Personally I drank the shock in 2004 in the African Cup final in Tunisia when the local coach, Badou Zaki, led the lions to the end of the cup and was on his way to a second cup but for the strange end he did not. He could have had another chance, which has not happened, since that game seemed to be something we lacke...

Harira is one of the most famous cuisine in Moroccan cuisine, along with couscous, rafissa, tajine and other Moroccan dishes. Al-Harira increases in the month of Ramadan, which is considered one of the most important meals at breakfast time in villages and cities. No one is ignorant of the Moroccan harira, so tourists know it well and demand it in popular restaurants in cities and fine restaurants near the sea, in malls and in hotels.

Is a dramatic feature film based on a short novel by the same name as Ritha Hierworth and Stephen King, which cost $ 25 million. It tells the story of a young banker accused of killing his wife and lover, and despite the length of the film, the time is 142 minutes but you do not feel bored.

Ramadan Karim to all friends around the world

Have you ever spent Ramadan in an Arab country or in Morocco? What is your feeling and what are your impressions I spent Ramadan 2014 outside Morocco and I saw different rituals in the Arabian Gulf, especially since there are residents from different countries, mostly from India, Nepal, the Philippines and other East Asian countries. In these countries there are tents called the Tent of the Fasting, or the fasting of the fasting, which brings together the different people who live, especially the singles. The basic rice meal is served in these tents and is a famous meal in various Gulf countries, in addition to fruit and milk.

Many memories remained stuck in my memory about Ramadan but let me tell you about the rites of the month in Morocco. In Morocco, there are many rituals associated with the month of Ramadan, most notably people asking for markets, before sunset. ...

Childhood memories (1)

There are indelible memories of the childish memory of people I have remembered some of them today. I still remember when I was a kid how we rejoice the market day, when Dad brings us sweets and games. My Moroccan childhood, which I lived in in the 1980s and early 1990s, brings me back to 30 years ago, where we were watching black and white television. We saw Moroccan champion Said Aouita winning the Olympic summer  Games in Los Angeles and we followed the Moroccan team and he did good game in the World Cup in Mexico in 1986. I remember some of the things that did not exist today, such as the red matchbox, adorned with a yellow lion. I also remember the image of television and its beginning and some soft drinks and the book of Arabic and other things . We used to play football in the dirt and sometimes under  rain. In the village we did not have green playgrounds and we did not have clubs as in the cities. We used to go to bring water from a dista...

March 26 bad memories

The school where I had the accident in The month of March, and especially 26 of it, was associated with bad memories to me . This month, 25 years ago, I was a student . My left hand was broken in a dramatic and painful way. I was playing with some of my friends near the fence of our school in the village. I fell from above and my hand was broken. I was carried on a motorcycle to the small town. I waited for more than an hour. They took me in an ambulance to Safi, a beautiful and ancient city. I spent two weeks in Safi Hospital, where I met new patients and made friends, and I was stuck in remembering the painful pictures. On 26 March 2004, I was in the city of Marrakech studying at the university when I received a call from my older brother telling me that my mother had died. I was shocked and left and I was crying and I could not imagine that i will not see my mother again. Since then I have not felt comfortable during March and especially the last ten days of i...

Far childhood dreams

                    MY village where i lived  my childhood  I remember that when I was a little boy I had dreams that looked great, like becoming a pilot, being a teacher, or a policeman. But as I get older, dreams change and some seem naive to me, so I laugh a lot when I remember. At some stage in my life I wanted to become a journalist but later found out that the press is a tired profession in many Arab countries, including Morocco. The press may cause you to be imprisoned and become like a vicious circle. In my press coverage over the years, I have been subjected to a lot of harassment, especially when it comes to field coverage such as February 20, for example, where some demonstrations in the city of Casablanca have been marked by violent security intervention. Or when I was covering the demonstrations of the unemployed of the certificate holders in the capital. I had already been beaten by a security man ...
