The last word belongs to Mehdi Ben Barka.


France and Morocco are responsible of kidnapping Mehdi Ben Barka.The fifth republic of France is explicitly responsible of rendering Morocco as it has become today. Too many poors, too many debts, injustice everywhere and infrastructure of Morocco is considerably fragile. Today, Morocco has no political opposition at all apart from independent press which is ferociously attacked by the authority.

Mehdi Ben Barka was kidnapped in France in 29th of October 1965 in Paris. Too many countries are involved of this shameful killing namely Israel, The United States of America, France and obviously Morocco. Mehdi was about to organise the three continents summit called Ospaal which is an organization of Solidarity of the People of Asia, Africa & Latin America .The meeting was about to be scheduled in Cuba .Those countries involved of kidnapping Mehdi were too much worried about the happening of the Ospaal summit because they know that the conception of colonizing poor countries are about to vanish.

The family of Mehdi Ben Barka, Moroccan people and the free world are still waiting to know the truth. CIA, Mossad and DST are still hiding secret documents about this political slaughter of this third world leader knowing that local and international political parties are using Omertà law about this affair. Ben barka was called proudly Mister President and the dynamo of Morcco,because he not only presided the party of independence and later it had become Union of popular and social party ,but he has also political visions to avoid third world countries from injustice ,colonization and dictatorship.

International Film Festival for women in Salé" Third version"


object width="425" height="344">


At last, women of image lovers whose passion of cinema is great ,can eventually see themselves in Salé , a popular town preparing itself to be cosmopolitan in 2020 close to Rabat .The Rbaties and Slawies say that Abou Regreg Association should not have taken charge of this film festival as far as the organization is concerned because as it is believed that it can not make it nor has any reasonable means to do so ,but things get upside down in this Sherifian territory known as Morocco .

From the first sight of this organisation , this film festival seems to be missing a lot that is to say and simply speaking cinema-goers can not be found nor they would go to watch movies .So ,why? It is a question that the team of Abu Regreg organisers should answer as soon as possible either through writing,emailing or image .In fact; what happens to media holders or press reponsibles who can not seduce respectable cinema lovers to attend beautiful soirée of cinema - theatres in Salé which are unfortunately empty and deserted ?


The Association of Abu regreg has cinephiles and that is for sure ,yet its will to succeed in organizing women's film festival seems to be more impossible .So many film critic and journalists state that this third oraganisation is more amateurish than professional,besides The team of Abu Regreg does not have that taste to call people of cinema in order to beautify the bad deeds that have been made by the team named above who is totally derailed to have the minimum to sucesss such as having logistic and means to organise film festival for women .


Last time, a Syrian director can not get his award gotten out of the second term, has made an appeal agaisnt the team of Abu Regreg association spearhead by its manager,Abdelatif Assadi ,an incridible cinema "non-lover" .

قالت هيومن رايتس ووتش أن الحُكم بثلاث سنين الصادر اليوم في حق الناشط الحقوقي شكيب الخياري يعتبر تذكيراً قوياً بتقدم المغرب غير الحثيث والمتقلب بمجال حقوق الإنسان. وقد أدين الخياري - الذي انتقد مسؤولين حكوميين جراء مزاعم بتواطئهم في الإتجار في المخدرات - بتهمة "إهانة هيئات منظمة [مؤسسات الدولة]" وجراء مخالفات صغيرة للأنظمة الحاكمة للحسابات البنكية والعملات الأجنبية.

Ce jeune militant des droits de l’homme a été condamné à 3 ans de prison pour avoir dénoncé les liens qui existent entre certains hauts responsables et les trafiquants de drogue dans la région du Rif. On l’a accusé de porter atteinte à un corps constitué.

Il est incarcéré depuis février 2009 dans l’attente d’être jugé pour avoir notamment déclaré que "des personnes seraient impliquées dans un réseau de trafic de drogue et dont certaines ont pu accéder à des postes importants au sein d'institutions de l'Etat", selon le ministère de l'Intérieur. Un autre prétexte avancé par les autorités serait "son implication présumée dans la perception d'une contrepartie pécuniaire en vue de concentrer sa campagne médiatique contre les trafiquants de drogue de Nador."

Ce militant des droits de l’homme n’a rien dit de plus que ce qu’on peut voir sur le reportage « d’enquête exclusive » (qui se trouve en bas de cette page). On peut voir effectivement, sous l’œil des caméras, que les trafiquants de drogue sévissent en toute impunité.

Witty Cameraman called Abdessalem El Manssouri leaving SNRT.


Everybody knows Abdessalem El Manssouri in media in Morocco. a nice guy of vivid imagination of taking pictures either in Tele- films , movies or even cultural programmes.Abdessalem is born in Rabat a place called Twarga where he had his chance to work as a trainee at the palace of former king Hassan second .

Being a professional, Abdessalem believes in dialog either with producers; directors or else .He really gives you the impression that you are working with a precise guy who you can not play with .Abdessalem is talkative all the time and even during filming but he never misses the takes you want. He is a very working hard cameraman .One of things that he impresses me is that he gives you nice pictures of digital camera with nice composition and framing . Abdessalem El Manssouri is leaving SNRT soon because of his age, I mean he is retiring, but who will replace this cameraman of great humour, wit and imagination?

Said Naciri‘s floppy sit-comes scorned by Moroccan Tv audience.






Whenever Ramadan comes, sitcoms, sketches and tele-films invade Moroccan television. Moroccan public are unfortunately disgusted and fed up by these programmes which seem to be floppy and shallow ,and yet they are eternal to be imposed to the imagination of TV-goers especially during Ramadan. Some journalists confirm that those who spearhead publicity are the ones to blame because they impose their preferred artists, others suggest that there must be structural and serious change to the produced programmes scheduled especially at 2 M.

Waiting for Mogador by Taib Sadiki.



Waiting for Taib Sadiki to come back on stage seems to be like talking about the ghost of Godot himself to come again . Waiting for Godot is a powerful play written by Samuel Beckett, very known to theatre-goers. Theatre in Morocco is in pain not because Taib has become old crying through mainstream to build up his independent 3000 squared theatre called Mogador, situated in a handsome place in Casablanca, but because nowadays theatre in Morocco produces only mediocrity and rubbish ness.



During the sixties, there had been some attempts to create a serious theatre encouraged by enthusiastic and independent Moroccan government. .Mohammed Afifi played Hamlet and some Molière plays had been translated to Moroccan dialect .Names emerged in the mainstream like El Arabi Doughmi ;Touria Jebrane,Taib El Alej and mentioning of course Abdelkrim Berrechid ;Kenfaoui and Taib Sadiki ,unforgettable play writers. Now a contemporary theatre school exists in Rabat for the first time, unfortunately theatre remains marginalised and tabooed.



Some scholars try to pay homage to Taib Sadiki referring only to fulfil his dream which is to build up that independent theatre, Mogador .No doubt Taib’s voice is well heard through Moroccan civil society, but still our man can not complete his project. Sadiki has also influence in the Arab world, France and even Israel whose president was once invited to Taib Sadiki’s Casablanca home, but still Mogador remains unfulfilled, a damned artistic project overthrown in a cold place somewhere in Ghandi Street. Taib is aware of The Globe , a Shakespearean theatre built up recently in London .if you happen to visit Taib’s Mogador, you will see an open to sky arena,a Greek designed semi stage digged modestly by modest hands and surrounded by old wardrobes and shabby ateliers decorated of Said Sadiki portraits just to memorise a brother who was one a poet and a close cultural reference to Taib Sadiki.

SNRT pays Homage to Abdessalem Kachan


Arabic music is spread all over the world now .Thanks to Ray Music originally coming from Algeria and supported by a fervent military soldier ,a lieutenant who sympathizes with the cause of the damned and oppressed youth of North Africa.

Ever since music magnificently has existed in the world, Mediterranean people are really fascinated with it either in their death ceremonies or during happy moments.Arabs,mainly Zeriab has played a good role to spread music in Europe, which was the old world in the past.

Morocco is a popular kingdom whose people loves music very well .Moroccan classical music is a bourgeoisie genre created by Andalusia Arabs called Andalusia music whereas El Malhoun is written by bohemian and sofi poets.

No Doubt, Morocco artists are influenced by these kinds of waves including international flavour of Mozart and Wagner. Among Moroccan Maestro whose craft is very well known in MOROCCO is Abdessalem Khachan, a respected national composer and very loved by former king of Morocco Hassan Second. He is a descend man known of his great knowledge of music and its terminology.SNRT pays homage to this Maestro by calling major music composers and national artists.

Azazil by Youssef Zeidan,a delicious novel for future cinema.



Youssef Zeidan is an Egyptian writer, whose faith is Islamic.But, he happens to write a great novel based on truthful events about Christianity and its orthodoxy. His novel called « Azazil » literary meaning the Devil, awarded internationally this year 2009, talks about an Egyptian priest who travels from his native land to Jerusalem and else where in order to meet other priests to talk about theology; Jesus and his birth as a man but not as a God .This work signed by Youssef Zeidan makes controversial debates in the church of the Orthodox in Egypt and also in Rome.


There are great movies based on novels that talk about the church still make hot controversy around the world namely “I love cinema”, “Davinci Code”; “Il Nome Della Rosa” and of course our interesting book “Azazil” which is a delicious book to devour, because Youssef Zeidan, within his highly poetic and beautiful style of writing, succeeds to seduce his reader not to put his book away.

Maalouma Ben Midah ; a sweet voice of Sahara.


There is a famous saying in Maghreb that says if you want to charm people of north-africa,you just bring them Maalouma Mint El Meydah in order to enchant them "Habibi Habeytou". In fact, this lady, having beautiful Saharian charm, can deeply move people to blissful moments.


Maalouma is a Mauritanian singer who becomes the first parliamentary lady releasing an album. She surely charms her fan with her sweet voice that has mysterious tone and intonation; the secret of this is her mixing up Ray music with Mauritanian folklore using all modern musical instruments.

Maalouma Mint El Meydah belongs to an African country called Mauritania which is is named after the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.

Gran Torino, a stylish technique of film writing.



Gran Torino is another magical movie made by a great actor and filmmaker Clint Eatwood.Some critics say that this movie is about the new age of America, some say it is a cinema of Barrack of Obama; whereas others state it is a new genre of drama movies that is targeted to hit box office in the sates. I think this movie simply belongs to an intelligent cinema remarkably made by a master of filmmaking called Clint Eastwood.

It is true that we have missed to watch good films coming from the sates, although Gran Torino shifts to the genre of realistic films. The movie is a 2008 American drama film directed ,produced and starring by Clint Eastwood.Its story talks about a Korean veteran haunted by memories of the war conflict. “A racist Korean War veteran living in a crime-ridden Detroit neighbourhood is forced to confront his own lingering prejudice when a troubled Hmong teen from his neighbourhood attempts to steal his prized Gran Torino.”


The leading role chosen by Clint Eastwood is Walt Kowalski who has a beautiful car called Gran Torino planned unfortunately to be stolen by Hmong neighbors and precisely by a shy Thao Vang Lor (Bee Vang). His feisty sister Sue (Ahney Her) succeeds to be a friend of Mr. Kowalski who in turn becomes nearly a member of Hmong .Lately in the movie, he heroically dies for them.

What strikes me most is the final scene when Mr. Kowalski prepares himself to revenge his neighbors. Technically speaking, Nick Schenk,the screenplay is intelligent to make us thought that Mr. Kowalski is going to revenge his neighbors by using all reversed techniques like for example asking his intimate barber to borrow him his razor and the locking up young thomg into Walt ‘s house to prevent him to do any tragic mistakes .All reveals a brilliant style o film writing. We have the impression that the protagonist is going to shed blood through an unpitiful armada ,but in fact, by our surprise and deceit Mr. Kowalski is killed and therefore this latter was preparing to die may be to get rid of horrible images of his past and also for his principles to die as a man.
