When writing about Morocco (i.e. the ruling gang that bleeds the country dry) I can’t cease to amazed by the sheer ignorant comments from Moroccans living abroad who don’t seem to grasp that when using ‘Morocco’ critics and dissidents mean the ‘system’.
These people who are fully enjoying all the privileges of democracy in the countries they live in seem to think they know better than more than 30 million Moroccans living in Morocco at the mercy of arbitrariness and lawlessness.
It is this lawlessness that is being twisted by the Moroccan regime when referring to Morocco as ‘the country of justice and law’. In several Royal speeches the King perseveres that the judicial system is independent while he should know better.
All Moroccans are fully aware that corruption is everywhere and to say otherwise is not just ridiculous but outright foolish. The police, the so-called gendarmerie, the prosecutors, the judges and so on are the sick basis of injustice and the epiphany of unbridled greed.
In front of the courts one can find people sitting and offering to testify in cases they know nothing about for as little as 10 euros, so it may happen that one person during one day offers testimonies in several cases and is met by the same prosecutor or the same judges who turn a blind eye.
One is inclined to blame such a person since bearing false witness is a crime not only by law but also in Islam but then again it’s sheer poverty that drives one to this actions while the other parties concerned are only driven by greed.
Why people seem to fail to recognize that it is the country they live in that they should embrace and not the country that only wants them for their money and lies to them by telling them once a year ‘welcome to your country’ remains a mystery to me.
