Since the beginning of the match, I had the feeling that something was off with the referee. It was mind-blowing to see an English referee, accustomed to officiating in the Premier League, a competition known for its intensity and physicality, show four yellow cards to Moroccan players for minor fouls that hardly warranted bookings.
I had a bad feeling that the referee was tilting the balance in Canada’s favor, and I feared he might end up awarding a penalty if even the slightest contact occurred between a Moroccan player and a Canadian player inside Morocco’s penalty area.
This video footage, in which the referee shockingly appears to apologize to Canadian players after Morocco scored its second goal, speaks volumes about his blatant bias against Morocco and a deliberate effort to disrupt its rhythm and prevent it from advancing to the quarter-finals.
As Morocco prepares to face France in the quarter-finals, @FIFAcom@FIFAWorldCup@fifaworldcup_ar should be put on notice. Football fans around the world must not witness a repeat of the scandalous refereeing mistakes that marred the semi-final between Morocco and France at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Moroccan fans still remember how the infamous Mexican referee denied Morocco two clear penalties that could have changed the destiny and history of that World Cup.
Moroccans are not asking FIFA for any favors. They are simply urging it to apply the rules of fair play fairly and to avoid any favoritism toward France. #Mbappé
Agadirs are fortified Amazigh granaries in Morocco where families stored food and important documents behind intricate wooden locks — an ancient survival vault system. Some are nearly 1,000 years old.

On ne peut pas se proclamer "moderniste" et en même temps "patriote" au Maroc. C'est un oxymore. Les fondamentaux du Maroc sont l'Islam malékite, la Monarchie traditionnelle, et la solidarité communautaire. Ces trois concepts sont intrinsèquement opposés au libéralisme politique, à l'individualisme et à la rationalité érigée en seule manière d'appréhender le monde.
Car souvent au Maroc, on parle de modernité comme un concept fourre-tout. Tantôt assimilée à l'évolution technologique, ou à la centralisation des institutions ou encore avec le civisme et le vivre-ensemble. Ça n'a rien à voir. Beaucoup de sociétés, comme l'empire romain par exemple, on fait cohabiter l'évolution technique et institutionnelle tout en restant attachés au Pater familias. Sans être moderne en somme.
La modernité est en réalité la coupure avec la transcendance, le nihilisme, le desenchantement, et la promotion de la laideur esthétique et morale. Et ceux qui veulent la faire cohabiter avec notre système politique et social, veulent en réalité faire supprimer ce dernier par elle sans passer par la case révolution sanglante.
Seule la Tradition permettra au Maroc de survivre en tant que Nation.
I remember ages ago an imam saying how the person you give charity to is doing YOU a favour, they are giving you a divine opportunity to make right with your Lord. All you are giving them is some money, some worldly thing. What they are giving you is priceless
It’s illuminating that Israel can send drones up close like this to stare Hamas members in the face and yet they choose to drop 2000 pound bombs on crowded civilian areas.
