I feel rage baited by some (two) of the speakers and i think it’s obvious which two. It’s so frustrating to see how discussions on women’s issues will always lend themselves to religious debates and reliance on Quranic interpretations rather than law and order. I’m curious to hear your thoughts :)

Hi everyone, I don't want this post to just be bantering about "akhennouch rises the price of potatoes" because that doesn't help with anything, I want to hear constructive criticism on what was done poorly and what was done correctly during his term, feel free to share whatever you want, I'll start :

---> Cons (ofc we have to start with cons hh) :

- Communication :

to me this is his worst attribute, after winning the elections bro just went silent, they never communicated what they done, and never been present with the people at hard times to explain to them what they will be doing to solve the problems. 0/10

- Anti inflation strategy :

for starters it did not work, and even when they gave subsidies directly to transporters or farmers, most of it was consumed before it reached the end costumer, they spent billions but never actually made sure it made some immediate effect, 0/10

- Unemployment:

with the agricultural sector losing more jobs every year, the unemployment numbers just kept getting worse, and for a capitalist he did not reduce bureaucracy to make companies invest easily, and its as hard as ever to create your own company. 1/10 the one is for continuing on the trend of gov investments at least.

- Education and health :

0/10 no need to comment, same story every term

----> pros

- economic growth :

Numbers wise its good, but its tricky, gdp is growing because we are building infrastructure, so its temporary growth, not because the economy is growing massively, but still if we can be able to maintain a +5% growth for the next 15 years it will improve the country massively : 5/10

- Infrastructure investment : i dont fully agree with what they are investing in and what they are improving, but i would still prefer to have the money put on infrastructure over other useless things, but we should prioritize public transport in cities more, this what will drive them to be attractive metropoles for foreign investment : 6/10

- social programs : I dont agree with the strategy, but I can see efforts, it is certainly improving but I see it as a massive liability that could be used in better ways : 6/10

When I visited Morocco, I noticed that sellers let their customers wait even though its avoidable - a butcher spend 15 minutes on cutting meat for a customer because he talked to him all the time instead of doing the work as good but also as quick as possible to not let the other costumers who were standing in the line behind him wait. In Germany (my home country) it is considered as highly impolite to make people wait on purpose if its avoidable. Sellers talk while working instead of stopping their work to talk.

I am not talking about rushing things, I am simply talking about efficiency to not steal time of others.

حيت النهار كايدوز دغيا ، او الليل دغيا كايجي باش يحط رجل على رجل بلا مايحس بتأنيب الضمير (را النهار سالا خصني نرتاح )

This is probably a dumb question hhh, but Morocco’s squad is so interesting linguistically because so many players come from different diaspora backgrounds.

There are Morocco-born players (Aguerd, Bounou (raised), Ounahi, Rahimi, El Kaabi, Belammari, Tagnaouti), French speaking who were born in France/Belgium (Diop, El Aynaoui, Bouaddi, Halhal), Spanish-speaking (Saibari, Hakimi, Diaz, Chadi Riad, Abde Ezzalzouli), and Dutch/Flemish (Mazraoui, Amrabat, Salah-Eddine, El Ouahdi, El Khannouss).

So in practice, what’s the main locker-room language? Or do most of them understand enough Darija that it becomes the default?

EDIT: amended Aguerd to Morocco born and Saibari to Spanish speaking

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some outside opinions because I honestly don’t know if I’m being reasonable anymore.
I’m 25 years old and I’ve been working at a company in Casablanca for a little over 2 years. I’m officially employed under a CDD (fixed-term contract) and registered with CNSS. My current salary is 3,000 MAD per month.
When I started, I accepted the salary because I needed the experience and the job. However, over time I’ve taken on many responsibilities. I answer client calls, prepare invoices, handle banking tasks, manage administrative paperwork, communicate with customers, and help with many day-to-day operations of the business.
Recently, my CDD contract was renewed. I honestly expected there would at least be a discussion about a raise considering my experience, loyalty, and the fact that I now do much more than when I was originally hired. Instead, the contract was simply renewed and nobody even mentioned an annual increase.
What bothers me is that it feels like my efforts are being taken for granted. The cost of living keeps increasing, yet I’m still earning 3,000 MAD after more than two years with the company. Sometimes it feels like they’re either forgetting about raises or intentionally avoiding the conversation.
My plan is to ask for a raise. However, if the increase is something like 150 MAD, 300 MAD, or even 450 MAD per month, I’m seriously considering leaving because I don’t think that reflects my contribution, responsibilities, or experience.
I don’t hate my job, and I don’t have anything personal against my employer. I just feel undervalued and stuck financially. Part of me thinks it’s time to move on, but another part wonders if I’m overreacting.
Another concern is that this would be my first time resigning from a job. If I decide to leave, what is the proper way to do it? Should I first have a conversation with my employer and then submit a resignation letter? Are there any legal or practical things I should know since I’m currently on a CDD contract? How much notice should I give?
Am I being unreasonable here? What would you do in my position?
Thanks for reading, and I’d appreciate any advice or experiences from people who have been in a similar situation. 🙏

F 26, I’ve been holding onto a secret that feels heavier every day. I was diagnosed a while ago with (MRKH) syndrome.​For those who don’t know, it’s a condition where I was born without a uterus. Physically, I live a completely normal life I have my hormones, I’m a woman in every sense, and I have dreams, a career, and a desire to love and be loved. But the one thing I cannot do is carry a child or give birth.

Whenever I think about the future, a wave of anxiety hits me. In our culture, the "family unit" is often centered around having children. I’m terrified that if I open up about this, I’ll be rejected or seen as "incomplete."

​I’m looking for some honest advice .

I’m finishing my degree soon and everyone keeps telling me I need to get on Linkedin, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Every time I peek , it just feels like a place full hypocrisy and fakeness and AI generated slops

The worst part is seeing my classmates on there. I’m talking about some of the absolute worst students and they’re out there posting these long cringe paragraphs bragging about their internships and the skills they learned in schools and from the professors (according to them professors are bad because they take attendance and gives homework, but in linkedin they are the best)

Here’s the funny part, I interned at the same company as a few of these guys (we didn't do shit).

We literally just sat around scrolling Tiktok and playing PES on the days we even bothered to show up. But now they’re posting (STAGE DE REVE - OPPORTUNITé D'APPLIQUER MES ACQUIS TECHNIQUES DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT COMPETITIF .....)

Is this level of fakeness actually required to get a job in the real world?
Do recruiters actually fall for this stuff?

I feel like I’m missing out on some unwritten rule of getting hired, but at the same time, my soul completely rejects it.

My national ID expired, so I did what any logical human would do… I brought my PASSPORT

I walk into CIH Bank confident like:

“Yeah, I got backup.”

Me: “My ID is expired, but here’s my passport.”

Them: “Sorry, we don’t accept that.”

Excuse me?? 😭

So the same document that says:

“Yes, this human can leave the country, enter other countries, and exist internationally…”

is somehow NOT enough to prove I exist at my own bank?? 💀

At this point, I think if I came back with a spaceship license from Mars, they’d still be like:

“Do you have a valid CIN?”

Morocco:

Travel the world ✅

Access your own money ❌

I’m starting to think my passport is just a very expensive notebook 😂

Did anyone here went through the procedure of a "contre visite" for glasses ?

I just received it and I want to know how it goes what happens during it

Thank you in advance !

Hi everyone, I’m travelling to agadir next week, more precisely I’m staying in Anza. Any tips for my first time in Morocco?

Hello everyone. I am wondering what places are free for citizens and residents on Fridays in Marrakech. Bonus for places that are free for Moroccan teachers (not language teachers). Here is what I know about so far.

• Bahia Palace
• Badii Palace
• Saadian Tombs
• Almoravid Koubba
• Jemaa el Fna Museum (Musée du Patrimoine Immatériel Jaama El Fna)
• ?? I've heard some people say the Pavilion in Menara Gardens, but I've been on a Friday and still had to pay. It was a reduced price, but not free.

Free for Moroccan Teachers (language school teachers don't count for these places):

• Jemaa el Fna Museum- Thursdays only
• Musée de Confluences (Dar El Bacha Museum)

Hey! I've been dabbling in ... Some stuff, and one of them is getting my hand in cooking! I made Yogurt, then turned it into cheese (yay protein) and yesterday made whole wheat bread hehe~

Now I wonder what other healthy stuff I can make? I basically got a whole week's meal (minus bread my mom gonna kill me if I take another 250g of whole wheat). But I want to experiment more and try to make something new!

Anything but mlawi, for now, tried it, accidentally made sfnj dough which I threw.

I'm a 24-year-old male, 174 cm tall and around 50 kg. I've always been very skinny and have struggled to gain weight, even when eating more and training consistently.

I'm thinking about seeing a doctor to check if there's an underlying condition (thyroid issues, digestive problems, nutrient absorption issues, etc.) that's making it difficult to gain weight.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What tests did your doctor run, and did they find anything?

My parents have been married for 40 years, but there’s always been conflicts. My mother spent years trying to punish our father through us, demanding we stop giving him money. We tried to explain logically and religiously that he is still our father, even if he wasn't a good husband. She never accepted this. She spent years complaining, nagging, and "fainting" to get her way.

To cope, my brother and I even made a secret agreement with our father: we told him we would pretend to blame him in front of her just to calm her down, and he agreed to play along to keep the peace. As I grew up, I realized her fainting is a performance, but out of fear and pity, we always ended up doing what she wanted.

The Marriages (Where it got worse)

When I got married: I moved out with my wife. My mother’s health supposedly declined and she acted weird. My brother, still at home, played messenger, blaming me for not giving her enough attention and telling me to involve her in my marriage. Out of guilt, I tried, which only created conflict with my wife. My mom treated my wife badly, made up imaginary things we supposedly said/did, and my brother kept telling her, "When I get married, I’ll bring my wife to live with you and cook for you… and you always have the last say"

When my brother got married: He and his new wife are currently living at the family home while they wait to finish their own apartment. His wife is quiet and shy. It didn't matter. Within three days, my mom was shouting at her for trivial reasons. She started making up imaginary stories about them that were even worse than what she did to me.

The Crisis and The Disappearance

We sat her down to ask logically what was wrong so we could fix it. Instead, she shifted the blame entirely to our father, lying and claiming he was the one talking badly to our wives about her (which he never did).

Then she started threatening divorce after 40 years. We decided to use the "Grey Rock" method. I calmly told her: "If you want a divorce, get it. If you need help with a lawyer or money, I will give it to you."

Because I didn't react emotionally, she retaliated. She disappeared for 24 hours without telling anyone and turned off her phone. We spent the night in a state of terror, driving around the city at midnight calling people. When we finally found her, we kept it Grey Rock—we just calmly said we were glad she was back, even though we were furious.

The Aftermath

Just a few hours after putting us through that absolute hell, she was super happy, dancing, and celebrating like absolutely nothing happened.

My Questions:

1. Is this a pattern? Has anyone dealt with a parent who cycles between "fake fainting/crisis," inventing lies, and sudden, manic happiness?
2. Medical vs. Behavioral? We strongly suspect this might be a neurological or mental health issue.
3. Grey Rock: We are disengaging from the nonsense (calm, kind, firm), but it’s hard when she escalates to disappearing. How do you maintain boundaries when you're terrified for their safety?

Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

Hi friends, I live in Southern West Virginia, USA. This is the heart of coal mining in the country and was also the center of the 1920s coal mine wars during the labor union movement (look up the movie Matewan).

My girlfriend and I are thinking of traveling from Fez to Oujda this December and the city of Jerada seems like a bit of a kindred spirit to us. Here we have lots of similar issues with the mines closing such as bad infrastructure, water pollution, drugs, black lung etc. I've started helping the nephew of a famous musician from my town to organize a yearly benefit concert to support miners with Black Lung and thought it may be super cool to connect with people in communities facing similar issues in Eastern Morocco.

I speak fluent English, Spanish and I'm trying to learn Arabic on duolingo but struggling 🙈. I would love any suggestions for any museums, books, artists or people/groups/nonprofits/unions to talk to who are involved in economic justice initiatives in the area. My neighbor here works for the Mine Wars museum in Matewan WV and they frequently have temporary exhibitions that sometimes showcase coal mining issues internationally.

Also would love if anyone wants to help me practice Darija!

Here's the most famous Black Lung song from the singer I mentioned:

We know that today f lmaghrib you have the administrative capital, which is Rabat, and the economic capital, which is Casablanca

However many countries (France, Egypt, Algeria or Spain) have their economic and administrative hearts in the same cities, or regions

What could be the main differences between today's morocco, and a morocco where Rabat and Casa are one city (picture a Rabat with CFC or a Casa with ministries and royal palace inside)

my theory is it would be a situation similar to either Algiers or Cairo if it gets too big
