for those who are still awake, what do you do for fun?
As a Moroccan teenager (19) (using that teen flag while i can lol), and living in a small city in the north. where not many activities are available, i am having a hard time finding things to do in my past time. little background; been a hardcore drug addict for many years, and i jut quit about a year ago, but now everything is bland due to my fried happiness receptors (finna kms). so everything i used to do is not fun anymore from the smallest things like having walks, sports, reading or watching things etc.. i always find myself not so emersed in what i do.. i am saying this here cuz we share the charm of third world countries where fun is not a must but something "fo9 cheb3a" we even grew up with that idea of having a ceiling over our heads and filled stomachs is more than enough to make us happy although its not, humans are greedy naturally even in such not so heavy topics. I have learned indeed to appreciate what i have but i want more. just fun some hal3ar!
one other very important pivotal point; the people around me unfortunately never reach my expectations, you know this very well dear Moroccan, it's unarguable, ponder them a bit and you must know better. I am very social actually, i know a lot of people but they are not special. My mother always tells me how picky i am when it comes to making friends.. even when i was just a kid. so if you do something in your day that brings you joy tell me, many bonus points if you get to know cool people through it. thankiess :)

What is the origin of the blue houses of Chefchaouen? Is it Phoenician/Carthaginian origin from Lebanon and Tunisia? Or could it be of Jewish heritage?

I need your advice🙏🏼
Assalamu alaikum 👋🏻,
I hope you're enjoying these Ramadan days.
Like every year, I’m struggling to balance my studies, sleep, eating, and 3ibadah. Well, I’m a student living alone, so I have to prepare my own meals, which takes up quite a bit of my time. On top of that, I’m not getting enough sleep,which affects my productivity throughout the day.
This is my problem in brief.If you have any advice, please don’t hesitate to share it with me🙏🏼

A funny story from a work meeting
An intern was presenting his progress on his project today, while sharing his screen, he put the volume up, and in windows 10, when you change the volume, the video playing or was playing is shown in the pop up, and what was the video paused, it was a video of "كيكة احمد ال****"
Man it's so fucking funny, nobody said a thing though, but I am sure as hell people noticed it

Your view on childless marriages? TINK lifestyle (Two Incomes No Kids)
First time I throw a thread here:
I'm curious to gather some divergent thoughts on chidless marriages in Morocco and how they're perceived by our young generation. I'm currently happy in marriage with my wife, based on this agreement from day one. We both have personal motivations that makes sense for both of us. On my end, I've always wanted a wife/life partner but no kids. When I met my wife, and on the early stages of our relationship, she mentioned it first, giving me clear reasons why she do not want to procreate. I was in shock and genuinely happy that she was thinking like me, which is very rare to find in Morocco. This + many other good traits of her personality made our 3 years together before marrying a smooth sailing trip. We learnt most of the things we needed to know about each others, and got married 2 years ago. We are leaving happily knowing we will be here for each others, without worrying about having kids, or anything related. We are travelling a lot, treating ourselves well, taking care of each others with a stress free mind. Some people are meant to be together, without making kids. We personnaly both feel the need to love and ve loved, but we do not project ourselves as caregiver for another human life. We have been respected by some married friends, while others have been judging us and pushing us to do otherwise, hence the fact we promised never to share it with people we know.
What about you guys? I respect everyone's choice, wether you're single, married with or without kids. But I'm still genuinely curious to read some point of views regarding the TINKS lifestyle.
Cheers

Anyone here who suffer from the essential tremor
I always thought my face tenses up due to anxiety but this also happens when I'm alone, sometimes I can smile easily but other times my face tenses up and the spasms start, I read about essential tremor and I'm positive that's what I'm dealing with, my hands were also shaky since childhood and I always thought it was only due to my anger issues, but I was always like that but since it's not visible or something that jeopardizes my daily life, I didn't bother.

Rachid Nekkaz: Another Failed Provocation. Calm Over Chaos.
https://preview.redd.it/xc2ugcqgegpe1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f72f6202ff4ace0a273543505ac7e27c2c72aa58
What the Algerian regime tried to do with Rachid Nekkaz is a massive and very obvious trap.
They sent a man who is seriously ill with cancer, psychologically broken after years of imprisonment, and very likely suffering from Stockholm syndrome, to Marrakesh to provoke Moroccans on highly sensitive topics, claiming that the Sahara is not Moroccan, and even going so far as to say that the Koutoubia Mosque was built by an Algerian.
But the real goal wasn’t just to provoke Moroccan citizens. The plan was to get a strong and emotional reaction from Morocco so they could weaponize it internationally, activate their lobbying networks in France (where Nekkaz holds or held the French nationality), and attempt to turn him into a "victim" or a new Boualem Sansal like figure that they could present as oppressed and mistreated.
Algeria’s regime desperately wants to pull Morocco into a noisy conflict to distract their own population and to strengthen their anti-Moroccan narrative in Europe.
In recent weeks, there have been multiple attacks and criminal incidents in France and Germany carried out by Algerians who falsely claimed to be Moroccan until it was discovered by local authorities or ours after the deportation. This tactic is not random, it’s part of a broader effort to damage Morocco’s image in Europe. If Morocco had reacted aggressively to the Nekkaz provocation, it would have been used in that exact propaganda machine.
Instead, Morocco responded with maturity and strategic calm:
* No overreaction
* No unnecessary noise
* Simply declaring him persona non grata and deporting him on the first flight back to Paris this morning.
We must remain cautious and smart. Algeria’s regime is engaged in hybrid warfare, using provocations, manipulations, and misinformation to trigger reactions that they can exploit on the international stage.
Our role is to rise above it. Morocco’s focus should stay on building, progressing, and leaving Algeria to struggle with France on their own, as that relationship is a complex colonial family dispute that Morocco should not be dragged into.
The Moroccan people must continue to grow in political awareness and not fall into traps like we did in the past with Aminatou Haidar, who was falsely presented as a “Gandhi figure.” That mistake won’t happen again.

Hi, it's your neighbor to the east. What is going on with the visceral hatred that my compatriots have for your country and your people when we get compared to each other?
As an Algerian who spends time in my country and yours (I have a Moroccan fiancée), I've noticed the intense hatred some Algerians have toward Morocco, which I didn't notice before I stepped foot on your soil. We both face similar challenges like poverty, political corruption, and religious ~~extremism~~ fanaticism, but also share many cultural similarities. I used to think Morocco-Algeria connection was something like what the US-Canada connection is becoming now: hostile governments, but common citizens that get get along and share a lot of the same cultural practices, cultural values, language and common struggles.
When I point out Morocco's progress in infrastructure, education, healthcare, trade, and development compared to Algeria, I face fierce criticism from fellow Algerians who question my loyalty. While Algeria's subsidies are probabaly a better deal for the poorest citizens than what they'd get in Morocco, Morocco offers more opportunities and a better quality of life for most people, despite both countries' high cost of living. Morocco simply feels more developed and hopeful, even though both nations face serious challenges.
In Algeria, society is starkly divided with a massive underclass living in subsidized poverty, and a small elite class connected to military who control everything through nepotism. There's virtually no alternative or middle class. Morocco has elites too, also has corruption, also rife with poverty, but it seems to have a more stratified socioeconomic ladder. When I'm there I get vibes that building wealth is at least a possibility even if it's very difficult.
They always try to discredit me as being someone that can't be trusted. I have been called a spy, fake Algerian, working with the enemy, traitorous, delusional, stupid, propagandist, victim of propaganda, kuffar, atheist, Israeli, Jewish, Wled França, etc. I've had people tell me that I'm stupid to ruin my life for a Moroccan woman, since "everyone knows how they are" (with no elaboration, but the connotation is beyond obvious). I've been told that Moroccan women are known for casting spells, so you have to be careful. That they love money more than life itself. I don't care about the personal stuff but the dehumanizing of my partner based on the piece of the earth she was born on hurts because she will go with me to Algeria many times inshallah and I worry this is what people are secretly thinking in their head and it makes me uncomfortable to closely watch their reaction when I introduce her to people.
This reactions I get from Dziriine seems to come from people who don't even have passports, let alone leave the Wilaya they were born in, and base their opinions on media and what their friends and family say about Morocco, many of whom have never left the country. It feels like they're punching down instead of up. I'm just the guy pointing out what our real enemy is and I'm not saying Morocco is perfect, just an example of how things could be marginally better for us back home if we organized properly demanded from our government what we deserve.
So some questions.
1. Does this happen in reverse? If someone told you that Algeria is a better country to live in for quality of life, do you just laugh them off, or get angry and write a diatribe to tell them how wrong they are? Do moroccans feel the strong compulsion to defend their country against unfavorable comparisons to neighboring countries?
2. Do people believe in this business of paid trolls and Algerian spies or propagandists to undermine their "enemies"? To me it just comes off as jealousy mixed with pride to be honest and the whole thing is really silly. They've taken the whole "freedom is slavery" thing to the head and seem to get upset if they see people on the outside living more comfortable lives.
3. Am I just completely out of my mind and in a poverty bubble when I'm with my family in the

Moroccan devs. I needed your help
Long story short: I’m a student who had been engaged with a company for an internship and potential job through my school since the middle of the year. However, typical Moroccan management, my school decided to wait three months Just before my internship to inform me that they’re rejecting it because it doesn’t fully align with our curriculum.
Now, I’m urgently looking for a PHP/Laravel internship from May to June. If anyone can help me find an opportunity, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Beware: Utilities scam
My family probably got scammed today by a guy pretending to be a SRM representative (Casablanca).
Guy had a bill with a notice that the company was going to cut power due to an unpaid amount. The “penalty” due was 1300DH, and it had at least some account info correct (name and address I think). No idea how he got the info btw, and I guess he made a fake bill based on that. Also the guy kept saying that he’s in a rush.
Anyway, family gave him the money thinking this was legit (he was waiting at the door). He supposedly went to get the receipt, but disappeared after.
I didn’t witness any of this, all was family’s telling.
I’ve posted this mainly to raise awareness. I highly doubt we’re gonna see that money again.

Helping mom do house chores.
Salam alaykum, Ramadan Mubarak :)
In Ramadan, I believe it's a norm to help in the kitchen, especially if you're a girl. It's expected from you to make chhiwat and ghssil lmwa3n. I personally try my best to help mom doing the house chores. I unload and load the dishwasher, hang clothes, fold them, sweep the floor, and make juice for iftaar. I don't know how to cook - talking about traditional food - so i compensate by doing that.
I am the eldest and only girl of my family, and I have three younger brothers. So, at the age of 21, I feel pressured to do more. I really wanna learn how to cook and become a mra hadga walakin trust me, i don't have the energy. From university classes to the bunch of hobbies I have, I barely have time to do the chores i stated above. I feel guilty when i am unable to help more than I do. Shame even? Li9di khasshom homa ywjdo oy9ado machi mawathoum. I can't help but feel that my mom isn't also fully satisfied with me as well. She implicitly tells me examples of girls younger than me kay3jno oy9ado chhiwat. I don't want to be linked to chghol dar, especially that it takes a lot of time to do. I do what i can but I feel like it's not enough. ;-;
Does any girl here relate to what i said?

Are today's Brahech worse than we were? A former troublemaker's perspective
Salam AirMaroc,
I've seen at least 2 posts where people are complaining about Brahech causing trouble and being disrespectful. I haven't lived in Morocco for 8 years, but in my memories, I was also one of these brahech who are described on r/morocco as hargawa. We would spend the day kicking a ball against garages doors (te9la3 or Golfix), we played tésor (don't know if it's still a thing) at night and shouted until late hours, and we weren't shy about making noise all night long. And there was always some grumpy old man who would either confiscate our ball or come out to scold us, but we always had strategies to avoid him. Is this the kind of behavior people are complaining about, or is there something more serious happening that is making people concerned ?

50/50 team or not in a couple?
I recently came across a study that says in relationships where the wife pays for everyday expenses (groceries, kids, small bills) while the husband covers big investments (house, car), after a breakup, the husband ends up with assets while the wife walks away with nothing. so it got me thinking how do couples fl mghrib can contribute in their household blama wahd yadlam lakhr , I wanna know your thoughts guys, especially when the wife works, how do you manage finances? Does the husband still cover the big expenses like the house and car while the wife keeps her salary for herself, or do you split everything? I'm curious to know how common 50/50 relationships are here

Dear Oncf: we had enough
I’ve reached my limit, and I can’t stay silent anymore. Today, like too many times before, I’m stuck, late for class, because the train just stopped out of nowhere due to yet another so-called “technical issue.” It’s been over 30 minutes now, and I’m standing here frustrated and helpless. But this is nothing new.
Last week, it happened again, right after Rabat Agdal — we were stranded for 1 hour and 15 minutes. And back in October, we were literally forced to walk across the tracks between Salé and Rabat to switch trains, as if this were normal, as if our time and safety mean nothing.
And what about the daily grind? Paying a fortune every month for the "Carte de Navette" just to end up standing like cattle, packed into overcrowded cars with nowhere to sit, damaging our knees, our backs, and our spirits. We’re exhausted. We’re paying with more than just money — we’re paying with our health and peace of mind.
Dear ONCF, we’ve had enough. We need real, urgent solutions, not excuses.
I watched a man miss his flight. He just sat there on the floor, watching everything he had planned disappear before his eyes. How many more people have to lose opportunities, appointments, and precious time?
I’ve heard people tried to take legal action against ONCF, but nothing seems to change. So I’m speaking up now. We deserve better. We need better.
ONCF, how much longer do you expect us to put up with this?
