The PM of Niger, the defense minister followed up by a delegation is on a two-day visit to Morocco since yesterday. This will be followed up by visits from Burkina Faso, and Mali soon. Today we hear the great announcement that Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger are abolishing the franc currency...

I do not think the issue is about manpower or defense spending for the Muslim world. We need to remember to take our feelings to the side and reflect in a rational way. If we reflect a little we will see that the core of the issue falls within two main subjects. The willpower of the different...

Not seen that al Jazeera article, but it does not change the fact that the source comes from the mouth of the former head of Israeli military intelligence ( Shlomo Gazit). Not reliable my friend.

I'm aware of your claims, and where your source is from. It was an article from "times of Israel", which I find not trustworthy. Several members of the forum do not take their sources from Israeli media, so I hope they do not fall for their propaganda. Morocco never tipped Israel during the 1967...

From the visit of the Commander of the Bangladesh Air Force to the Kingdom to enhance cooperation with the Royal Air Force. The delegation coming from Bangladesh visited the 1st and 6th Air Bases, as well as the Royal Air Forces School Bases in Salé, Benkreir, and Marrakesh.

No such thing according to who? Since you mentioned creed and Islamic ideology you should be aware that we have such a principle in our religion. Even if you would consider these leaders the worst of the worst, that does not mean that it's in the best interest of the Muslim nation, and arab...

We need to adopt the "The lesser of two evils" concept which I see that you have failed to address a couple of times. A destroyed Jordan, or Egypt, or any other Middle Eastern country only serves the expansionist, and interest of the Americans, and their Western counterparts. There is time for...

@Gary :confused:

400? Do not forget that Turkey is working on network-centric warfare, and fighter jets are not the only asset. We are talking about drones of various types ranging from TB-3, ANKA-1/3-4, and Kizilelma that work jointly with the future kAAN. Turkey is operating almost 250 F-16s, and many of...

800-1000 fighter jets are way to much. The sweetspot would be around 350-500 fighter jets.

In the past, Morocco was often linked to French submarines, however, I do not see any procurement being made with the French for the moment. At least not with President Macron in charge. In the meantime, our air force, and ground forces will get a big boost.

Correct Morocco has indeed acquired the Sea breaker ground-launched variant. Really important since our navy is relatively small compared to our adversaries, which will contribute a little until we build our navy to a respectable level.

The Chief of Staff of the Bangladesh Air Force is visiting Morocco this week following the invitation of Major General Mohammed Gadih, Inspector of the Air Force Moroccan Royal. This visit aims to strengthen relations between the Moroccan and Bangladeshi air forces. Welcome!

To understand the issue of sebta/mellila you need to understand that these two small cities were granted by the Vatican/crusaders at a time when Morocco were fighting against the whole of Europe. ( The British, Spanish, french etc). If we did not have issues with our neighbor in the east, then...

@Kartal1 Perhaps time to change the title? The Sahel region seems to be going towards a greater development then issues regarding terrorism.

No way it's 40 billion USD for the total deal. I remember doing a little bit of research in the past regarding the cost of the acquisition of the F-35, as well as equipment, and infrastructure costs. I found a number between 200-300 million USD per F-35 including maintenance, equipment, and...

There is no need to make such a move, Sebta/mellila are small cities that would be destroyed within an hour by the Moroccan artillery if needed. Spain deploying more troops to these cities would only make them vulnerable, since the logistics would only be delivered by sea, and air. Spain has...

Fierce rebellious warriors, the Amazigh of Morocco were the least Romanized/Christianized people in the entire Roman Empire. There were only 4 localities controlled by the Catholic Church in Morocco compared to 175 localities in current Algeria and 141 in Tunisia. Morocco was a powerful...

They are still haunted by history... I guess he is referring to being more hostile to Morocco diplomatically speaking, as well as strengthening sebta/mellila more militarily.
