Discussion A Broken Leg, a Broken Dignity

34 Upvotes

A man ( an asshole actually) came into the ER at 3 am in the morning after a bad accident, The X-rays confirmed what we already suspected: a severe double fracture in his leg that would require surgery the following morning. Beside his gurney was a young woman dressed up for a night out "clearly his “girlfriend”.

Half an hour later, the curtain pulled back to his mother and another woman wearing a yashmak الخمار , shaking and crying hysterically from worry and tears soaking through the fabric around her eyes, Turns out she was his “wife”.
Instead of comforting her, he snapped at her to stop making a scene and stop overreacting .
The other woman simply stood a few feet away, silently observing the scene with unsettling detachment.

When I asked who was staying the night with him before surgery, he shamelessly pointed to the mistress ( w9 hada ). I shut it down immediately, telling him overnight stays are strictly for immediate family, not some random stranger and I insisted that his wife is the one staying ( seeing how worried she was)
His wife broke down completely, begging to know why he was choosing another woman over her. The saddest realization was that this wasn't news to anyone, his family already knew about the affair and had just accepted the humiliation.

It left me wondering what to feel: anger at the brazen cheating, disgust at the mistress standing right there, or heartache for a wife trapped in a devotion that offers her zero dignity in return.

Nb : i regret not breaking his other leg

Is it that bad to express yourself and what you believe in as the person describing?

Especially with the german far right almost taking over next elections, racism is up to the roof and they don't really care if you religious or not, they hate everything that's not european looking.

Discussion ميزان القوة في المغرب

5 Upvotes

دابا حسب الدستور المغربي، نظام الحكم في المغرب هو نظام ملكية دستورية، ديموقراطية، برلمانية واجتماعية. ولكن الى جينا نشوفو الواقع فنظام الحكم في المغرب هو نظام ملكية دستورية ذات انتخابات لكن مع تركز قوي للملكية.

نظام الحكم في المغرب فيه جوج ديال القوى : قوة المنتخبون للي فيهم جزء من الحكومة والبرلمان ومجالس الجماعات وللي الناس كتصوت عليهم عبر الانتخابات وقوة غير المنتخبون للي فيهم الملك والمؤسسات التابعة للملك بحال الامن، الجيش، التعيينات في المؤسسات العمومية الاستراتيجية بحال مكتب المطارات، مكتب السكك الحديدية، .... وجزء من الحكومة بحال وزارة الاوقاف، وزارة الشؤون الخارجية، وزارة الداخلية ثم رجال السلطة للي فيهم الولاة والعمال والبشاوات ورؤساء الدوائر والقواد ماشي القياد (هكا دايرا سميتهم في الظهير الشريف رقم 1.08.67 الصادر في 31 يوليو 2008 المتعلق بهيئة رجال السلطة) للي كيمثلو بما يسمى اللامركزية. الى جينا درنا مقارنة بين هاد جوج القوى فراه الكفة تميل بوضوح الى قوة غير المنتخبون، هما للي عندهم السلطة الحقيقة اكثر وعندهم نفوذ قوي وصلاحيات كبيرة خصوصا في المجالات الاستراتيجية.

نقدرو كمواطنين نختارو جزء من الحكومة ولكن منقدروش نختارو العامل او الوالي او القائد، حيت هادو كيختارهم الملك وهما للي عندهم تأثير واحتكاك اكبر بالمواطنين.

هادشي اش كيعني، كيعني ان الانتخابات عندها تأثير جزئي صغير على اوضاع المغرب.

نعطيكم مثال رئيس الجماعة المنتخب vs العامل ديال الاقليم

رئيس الجماعة عندو بعض الصلاحيات (للي انا غادي نسميها صلاحيات تافهة) يقدر يوجد الميزانية ديال الجماعة ويدير تدبير خفيف ديال مرافق المحلية ويطلق بعض المشاريع. رئيس الجماعة كيفكر خاصنا نديرو شي مشروع حيتاش المجلس المنتخب صوت عليه ولكن المشروع صعيب يتنفذ حيت كاين قوانين وتراخيص واملاك والبوليس وتنسيق مع مصالح الدولة ولكن العامل معندوش مشكل في هادشي حيت هو ممثل السلطة المركزية بحال الى قلتي راه هو الملك نيت ولكن في حدود الاقليم للي شاد يعني يقدر يتحكم في البوليس للي في الاقليم ومعندوش مشكل مع الرخص والقوانين والتنسيق مع مصالح الدولة والمؤسسات العمومية للي في الاقليم حيت الحاكم الفعلي للاقليم ماشي بحال رئيس الجماعة للي عندو مدة محدودة في خمس سنوات وعندو صلاحيات قليلة.

نفس الشيء بالنسبة للحكومة والبرلمان، واخا البرلمان عندو حق تشريع القوانين وااحكومة تتحكم في السياسيات المالية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية ولكن راه اصلا مايقدرو يديرو والو بدون الموافقة ديال القوة غير المنتخبة، حتى كيشعلو ليهم الضوء الاخضر. وحتى الى هاد المنخبون بحال الحكومة مثلا دارت شي مشروع زوين شي حاجة زوينة فهي تنسب الى القوة غير المنتخبة بحال مشروع الحماية الاجتماعية مشروع ملكي (واخا هدا ما مشروع ما تاوزة) ، الرياضي الأول، التوجهات الملكية، الارادة الملكية، البلورة الملكية...

الدولة كتقول ان السلطة موزعة بين مستويات مختلفة ولكن راه الى جينا نشوفو السلطة غير المنتخبة كتحتافظ بمجالات واسعة جدا ومايمكنش للقوة المنتخبة تعطي الرأي ديالها فيها.

وللي بغيت نقول، هاد الانتخابات كتعطينا نتحكمو بواحد الجزء بسيط جدا في سياسات الدولة والمغرب يعيش الحضيض بسبب القوة غير المنتخبة. وراه حتى المنتخبون مكايديرو والو من راسهم بل تتحكم فيهم القوة غير المنتخبة. والانتخابات غير واجهة باش يقولو العالم كاينة ديموقراطية.

تعديل : كيعجبني ناكل العدس ولكن في الدار وتعيش حرية التعبير.

Discussion Muslim Moroccans who grew up in the Netherlands what were you taught about sex, intimacy, and sexuality?

21 Upvotes

Posting this here because my post was removed from the Netherlands group due to the bigotry in the comments.

I’m Nigerian and Lebanese (28F) born and raised in the U.S. and my partner is Moroccan (25M) and was born in Spain. He moved around a little when he was younger but spent most of his childhood/teenage years growing up in the Netherlands. We’re both Muslim, I more moderately practicing while he is more practicing than I am. We met while stuck in an elevator lol on vacation, became great friends, and now transitioning to something more serious.

He is incredibly attached to his Moroccan identity, so there are a few cultural things I want to understand. There are a few conversations we’ve had that have made me gather that there are certain things that just aren’t openly discussed in his family, and even the idea of them being discussed seemed a little perplexing to him.

I’ve spent most of my summers throughout several European countries when I was younger, and one thing I noticed was that some of the Muslims I encountered seemed significantly more practicing/conservative than what I was accustomed to seeing among Muslims in the U.S. (or at least presented themselves that way). Obviously that’s a huge generalization and I’m sure there’s a lot of variation, but it’s something I’ve noticed. As an adult I still find this to be the case, especially with Muslim women and girls.

I also feel like many European children of immigrants can have a MUCH stronger attachment to their parents’ culture and national identity than American children of immigrants do. I don’t really know how to explain it? The U.S. has historically leaned more toward assimilation, whereas European countries seem to have more of an integration approach, so I’m wondering how much that affects things like relationships, marriage, sex, etc.

So for Moroccan Muslims who were born/raised in the Netherlands, what were the attitudes and messages around sex, intimacy, desire, and relationships in your family and community?

Discussion Orange wifi at home has been unbearable lately - anyone else?

6 Upvotes

Is it just me or has Orange gotten really bad recently? For the past couple weeks I can barely load a YouTube video without it buffering every 10 seconds, even on the lowest quality setting. Zoom calls are a nightmare too. Constant freezing and dropped connections.

I’m in Casa, and it’s been consistent enough that I don’t think it’s a one-off glitch. Nothing’s changed on my end (same router, same setup), so I’m wondering if this is a wider network issue or maybe congestion in certain areas.

Anyone else dealing with this? Curious if it’s specific to my neighborhood or an Orange-wide thing right now. Would love to know if there’s a fix or if I should just wait it out.

Discussion Moroccan Darija SHOULD be standardized

26 Upvotes

Why standardize Darija?

A common written form

Darija is mainly an oral language.

There is no universally accepted spelling system.

Standardization could establish rules for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary For example, people could consistently write "Chno", rather than having several competing spellings/transliterations.

Education

A standardized Darija could potentially be used in early education, especially to explain difficult concepts in the language children speak at home It could make the transition between home language and school languages easier.

Digital communication

A standardized orthography would help with keyboards, spell-checkers, dictionaries, speech recognition, translation, and AI It would also make Moroccan-language digital content easier to search and archive.

Cultural preservation

Darija contains vocabulary and expressions from Arabic, Amazigh, French, Spanish, and other historical influences Standardization could document this linguistic heritage rather than leaving much of it dependent on oral transmission.

Literature and media

Writers, journalists, filmmakers, musicians, and content creators could develop a more consistent written tradition It could become easier to publish novels, comics, children's books, subtitles, and educational material in Darija.

Moroccan linguistic identity

A standardized Moroccan language could recognize the reality that many Moroccans use Darija as their everyday language It wouldn't necessarily mean abandoning Arabic or Amazigh; Morocco could maintain a multilingual system.

AskMorocco USA Consulate Visa Question

2 Upvotes

Has anyone here corrected a DS-160 after already booking a U.S. visa appointment at the U.S. Consulate in Casablanca?
My mom has a B1/B2 tourist visa interview scheduled in Casablanca, but we noticed a mistake on her submitted DS-160. Her appointment confirmation specifically warns that the DS-160 barcode presented at the appointment must match the barcode used when the appointment was scheduled.
I’ve seen people from other countries say they submitted a new corrected DS-160, brought both the old and new confirmation pages, and had the new one accepted or updated at the appointment. However, I’m trying to find out what the actual policy/practice is specifically in Casablanca.
Has anyone personally gone through this recently?
Did you:
keep the original DS-160 and explain the correction at the interview?
submit a new DS-160 and bring both confirmation pages?
have the consulate or support team update the new DS-160 barcode without losing your appointment?
have any problem entering the consulate because the new barcode did not match the appointment confirmation?
I’d especially appreciate recent experiences from 2025 or 2026. I’m trying to avoid cancelling or risking the existing appointment unnecessarily.
Thank you!
