On the footsteps of Zemmouri by Driss El Yazami, CCME- WMC 20/20
The celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Washington Moroccan American Club is an event in more ways than one. It owes its richness to the program prepared for the population of the U.S. capital, which reflects primarily the profound changes experienced by Morocco. On all fronts (gender, ethno-cultural pluralism, rule of law, etc...) Morocco has opted for the path of modernity and reform. The road is still long, but both Moroccan society and Moroccan government are forging their own history.

Washington, 27/03/10 - Une rencontre sur le rôle des médias dans le développement du monde arabe, organisée vendredi à Washington, a mis en exergue l'essor que connaît la presse écrite au Maroc, grâce notamment aux nouvelles technologies de communication et d'information.
