Stopped by 3 men claiming to be police late at night. Terrifying.
Last night I was driving through Fquih Ben Salah pretty late — probably around midnight (extremely dumb to do, my wife and I were trying to drive through the night to our destination)— and had to pull over briefly. Out of nowhere, a guy on a moped pulls up and stops right in front of my car, blocking me. Then two more guys on scooters show up. They’re all in regular clothes, but one of them has a walkie-talkie and handcuffs and they start saying they’re police.
They asked where I was from and I said the U.S., and then they started insisting I was going the wrong way to my destination (I wasn’t). They kept pressuring me to turn around. I never got out of the car, just kept the doors locked and windows mostly up. They didn’t show any badges or real ID — just kept saying they were cops and trying to sound official. After a couple minutes, they let me go without much explanation.
I’m 100% sure they weren’t real police, and honestly, it was scary as hell. It felt like they were about to try something but then changed their minds.
Has anyone had anything like this happen in Morocco or elsewhere? Any idea what they actually wanted? Robbery? Reroute me somewhere more isolated? And why would they just let us go like that? Still trying to make sense of it.

Thinking we are closer to Europeans than Arabs and Africans is white supremacist garbage
There's this bullshit take i keep seeing on the internet that Amazighs are more similar to europeans than africans and arabs and it's breaking my brain.
First of all, YOU ARE AFRICAN. Tamazight is an Afro-Asiatic language which means it shares ancestry with Arabic and other languages spoken currently or historically in north Africa and the middle east. And it doesn't matter if you think you are amazigh or arab or whatever the fuck, YOU ARE STILL AFRICAN BECAUSE MOROCCO IS IN AFRICA.
We share a lot of cultural similarities with west African countries, and it's so apparent that we also share a lot with middle eastern cultures due to shared language and religion that the only way you can deny that is if you've never been to Morocco.
Do we have some similarities with southern Europe? Yeah we do. We were once part of the Roman empire, Iberia was once ruled by us and we were recently colonized by France and Spain, so of course we influenced each other. But be for real, do you seriously think we have more similarities with Europe than the middle east and other African countries?
Here, I'll tell you why some people think that: It's because they think Europeans are superior and are insecure about their own race, ethnicity and culture. They think that by being closer to Europeans they'll be worth more.
Colonialism has made them think they are inferior so now they try to imitate the people who enslaved and raped their ancestors. No different than the Amazighs who think they are Arab.
And I've seen people say that Amazighs are white, do people even realize how racist that is? It's literally erasing brown (who are the majority) and black north Africans from existence. There are Amazighs from Mali ffs.
It all stems from thinking that white is superior and brown/black is inferior. People like this have internalized racism and want to distance themselves from their ethnic and cultural identity because they are ashamed of it so they cling to another identity that they see as better.
BE PROUD of your culture and the fact that you are African. Embrace it and don't let racists make you feel inferior.
Why even care about who we are similar to anyway? Why not just celebrate our unique and diverse culture without comparing it to others?

Married to a Moroccan
As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu, dear brothers and sisters.
I’m reaching out for some advice.
I’m a practising Muslim brother, married for two years to my Moroccan wife. When we met my wife was not wearing Hijab however after I spoke to her how I like her to wear a Hijab after marriage . She started wearing it . Due to a project I’ve been working abroad, I’ve been away from her for some time. She is living with her parents.Alhamdulillah, the project is nearly finished, and I’ve been planning for us to reunite soon, in shā’ Allāh.
There’s almost a 10-year age gap between us, but things started off beautifully. From the beginning, I made it clear that honesty and transparency were important to me. It was not to control her but she was the source of my peace. She understood and even shared access to her social media accounts with me. She later created a second Instagram account, which she said was for her charity work. Although I found it a little unusual, I chose to trust her.
Recently, unfortunately, I discovered she was speaking to another man via Instagram. When I confronted her, she told me her cousin asked to follow that account and when questioned why she is messaging the account . She disconnected her internet and called me back later. she then claimed that it was a friend using her account to chat with him. I was deeply hurt, especially since she hadn’t mentioned it before and usually shares everything with me. I called her friend and her friend confirmed it was indeed her.
This led to growing doubts. I attempted to log into her second account, which was public and followed by many men ( which I did not notice before), but she logged me out immediately. I was devastated and felt something was being hidden from me. I trusted her completely and never doubted our love or marriage. As someone who values logic and clear communication, this situation made me feel betrayed.
We argued, and she accused me of being toxic and not trusting her. She then deactivated her main account, but told me to visit her in Morocco and promised to show me her phone and explain everything.
Heartbroken but hopeful, I booked the earliest flight. When I arrived, she did show me the second account and had also reactivated her main one( which she did not give me access to). However, I mentioned the many messages I had seen before she logged me out. She said she had deleted them because they were just message requests.
Not long after, her tone shifted drastically. She told me she no longer saw a future between us and asked for a divorce. Additionally she also said I want a divorce and remarry you again in front of my parents. Our intention was to have a ceremony in a couple of months .I am completely baffled by this situation and am questioning our whole relationship.
I am thinking this is a sign from Allah SWT that we should go our separate ways.

What is one problem in your daily life that no app or website has solved yet?
Hi everyone,
I’m a Moroccan developer and I want to build something useful.
But before starting, I’d love to hear from YOU:
👉 What’s one annoying, hard, or time-wasting thing you face daily that a smart app or tool could solve?
It could be personal (like budgeting or stress) or local (like booking services, finding jobs, etc.)
Let’s brainstorm. Maybe I can build it 💻

A 6.5B USD EV battery gigafactory is starting construction near Kénitra.
While headlines come and go, something major is quietly unfolding in Morocco’s industrial landscape. Chinese-European battery giant Gotion High-Tech is starting construction on what will be one of the largest EV battery plants in the world, just outside Kénitra.
The plan in numbers:
* Total investment: $6.5 billion
* Location: Industrial zone of Ain Johra (between Sidi Yahya El Gharb and Tiflet)
* Production start: Q3 2026
* Phase 1 output: 20 GWh (gigawatt-hours)
* Full capacity target: 100 GWh
* Local integration: 70% from Phase 1
* Jobs: 2,300 direct jobs in Phase 1, up to 10,000 long-term
* Production: Cathodes, anodes, modules and all built in Morocco
* Markets: Automotive industry and energy storage systems
What does 20 GWh actually mean?
* 1 GWh = 1 million kWh
* 20 GWh = 20 million kWh That’s roughly the annual electricity consumption of 1.3 million Moroccans, or enough to power 300,000 electric vehicles (EVs) per year. When the plant scales up to 100 GWh, we’re talking about enough batteries to equip 1.5 million EVs every year. This is upstream manufacturing not just assembly. Morocco is producing key components of the global energy transition: EV batteries and energy storage tech. It’s part of a global arms race, and we’re not being left behind.
There’s a reflex in some circles to say “it’s just foreign investment” or “just cheap labor.” But read between the lines:
* Local integration is high
* Production is tied to global markets
* Morocco is inserting itself into future-proof supply chains
* And this project sits right between the Tangier automotive hub and Rabat’s institutional base

What if we collectively became a better version of ourselves
I remember watching this anime called " durarara", where the characters talk through a group chat anonymously, just like here, they treat different cases to make their city a better place, i thought to myself walking to work this morning, what if?, what if we start a movement, since everyone here noticed how we're fcked up as a society, so what if we spot a problem, share it and we all do what we can.

What's up with the hate between men and women in Morocco?
Hello everyone, I'm not generalizing this..but I've noticed that there's this hate going on between Moroccan men and women; and when I say men and women, I mean in the age range between 20yo and 30yo.
I rarely interact with the other gender, and my social circle has very few Moroccan people...but I kept noticing this hate on Facebook and Instagram...and it genuinely doesn't make sense to me? Why would you hate the other gender of your same nationality? I also kept seeing the words "قهوي" and "قهوية"
I've had multiple friends come visit me from abroad, and I've always hated, from the very bottom of my heart, how us as Moroccans; we almost worship foreign people and hate our own, I noticed it on multiple occasions when me and my friends go out.. It's silly. It's ridiculous. It's disgusting. To be racist and toxic towards your own race...
We failed as a society, and I don't see Morocco breaking through to become a first world country; I see the 2030 world cup as an already failed attempt from the state to say "hey please, look at us, we exist" to the rest of the world. That's not how a nation rises, the only bulletproof way a nation would rise is through science and cutting-edge discoveries.
I could go on forever criticizing how we suck as a society, it has always saddened me..and the fact that people are blind to it is surprising to me.
Anyway, consider this either a discussion or a rant; I just wanted to say that to a portion of Moroccan people that might understand.
Cheers,
Hamza

When life hits hard...u take the chance!
هاد البلان قلت نشاركو وممكن يطيح المنشور فشي واحد لي بصح فنفس الوضعية..ماشي بهدف نقول أنا دوزت ولا ناجح..أنا فاشل غا قرا الموضوع ودير بدكشي ووالله أخي تاتقلب حياتك للأحسن..
والله يفرجها على أي واح فوضعية صعيبة
There was a time when I was completely messed up, right after finishing high school. I didn’t know what to do next.
I kept comparing myself to others, and that only made things worse. I started having serious problems.
Life felt dark. I’m not talking about a breakup or feeling a bit lonely..
I’m talking about real struggles. I used to work out regularly, but I stopped. I wasn’t in the mood anymore.
With time, I felt like I had no door left to knock on… except turning back to God.
I started trying to wake up early, pray Fajr, and then jump on my laptop to explore different things online. I’d go to a café, spend the whole day there until Maghrib...
no food, just coffee.
I’d pray, make du‘a, and go back to working on my laptop.
At night, I’d go for walks alone, listening to podcasts, Qur’an, or lectures...
just walking and enjoying the moment.
At first, I was doing all of this just to escape thinking about the problems surrounding me. I didn’t want to deal with them.
But with time… I found something I enjoyed. God opened a path for me.
I started training again. I started making good money, alhamdulillah. And one day, I looked up and realized I had reached a level I never thought I could
if it weren’t for those hard times.
I learned that trials from Allah always have wisdom behind them.
Even if you don’t understand why you’re going through what you’re going through, or why life feels like every door is closed
just know, there’s a reason.
So here’s my advice: if you’re going through stuff, feeling lost or depressed
run from your problems into good habits. Do things that benefit you. Be around people or take time alone.. whatever gives you peace. But let your energy go into something useful. And most importantly, get closer to God. You’ll feel peace in the middle of what once felt like pain.
I just wanted to share this because maybe someone going through the same thing might read this. And if that’s you, my friend: turn to God, rely on Him, and ask Him to help you.
Everything will be okay, and one day, these hard days will just be memories you smile at.
