Morocco ‘may be setting good example’ for Arab countries- US paper

Let's share the love...

PERSISMA, Washington – Morocco “may be setting a good example” for Arab countries experiencing violent social uprisings, the US paper Richmond Times-Dispatch wrote on Thursday.

Amid the popular uprising in several countries in the region, HM King Mohammed VI “acted pre-emptively” and “embraced institutional reform, which he submitted to the people in a referendum,” said the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Recalling the landslide majority approval of the new constitution during the referendum, the US paper highlighted that the new supreme law “enhances the powers of elected representatives.”

Morocco’s reform “seems in safe hands with” HM King Mohammed VI, the Richmond Times-Dispatch went on to say.

“The road from Morocco could lead to reform elsewhere in a region hungry for good government,” the same source noted.

Touching on the kingdom’s time-honored traditions of tolerance and coexistence, the paper considered that “Morocco enjoys a reputation for tolerance and has not confronted the religious radicalism seen elsewhere.”
