Rabat – Since assuming leadership of the General Directorate for Studies and Documentation (DGED), Morocco’s foreign intelligence agency, in 2005, Mohammed Yassine Mansouri has established himself as one of the kingdom’s most prominent security figures. With discretion and dedication, Mansouri works behind the scenes, transforming royal directives into a practical reality that has enabled Morocco to build a modern and effective intelligence system. This system is now a formidable force on both the regional and international stages.
Under his command, the DGED has undergone a qualitative leap, adopting the latest technologies. Mansouri has been the architect of a sophisticated intelligence system that integrates artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and quantum encryption to enhance the agency’s ability to preempt threats. This modernization has not been limited to the technical side; it has also included developing human capabilities to ensure accuracy and speed of response.
Mansouri was among the first to warn of the dangers of terrorism in the Sahel-Sahara region, and he was able to detect threats before they escalated into crises. Thanks to this intelligence vigilance, Morocco has effectively contributed to dismantling terrorist networks and extremist organizations in Africa and Europe, strengthening its position as an indispensable security partner.
Mansouri’s role has not been confined to domestic matters; it has extended to enhancing Morocco’s security relationships with its strategic partners. By building a strong network of intelligence cooperation with major agencies, such as Pakistan’s ISI and American agencies, as well as its European and African partners, the DGED has played a pivotal role in combating terrorism, illegal immigration, and organized crime on a regional and international scale.
The fruits of this cooperation have been evident in Morocco’s participation in significant international security operations, such as hostage rescues. This has earned the country widespread global recognition and led to accolades and international honors for its agency, most notably the “Star of Romania” medal in recognition of its outstanding security achievements.
Despite the significant impact of his work on international security equations, Mohammed Yassine Mansouri prefers to stay out of the spotlight, maintaining his humility and strict discipline. He is a model of competence that combines a high level of professional secrecy with respect for human rights and credibility, refusing to exploit sensitive security files for political gain.
Mansouri is considered a symbol in the battle to defend Moroccan sovereignty, particularly concerning the Sahara issue. His smart intelligence and diplomatic efforts have contributed to strengthening the kingdom’s position, proving that working behind the scenes can have a profound and lasting impact on serving the nation and achieving security and stability.
