Rabat, Morocco – In recent days, Morocco has become the target of a coordinated media campaign led by international newspapers and fringe digital platforms, supported by armies of fake social media accounts. Observers analyze this as part of a struggle for regional and international interests and an attempt to use media as a political tool to pressure the Kingdom.
A Single Narrative from Multiple Pens
The campaign began in Spain with articles in “El Español” and “El Independiente” that recycled an old narrative about a “conflict among government agencies” in Morocco. The French newspaper “Le Monde” quickly joined in, adopting a more direct tone, speaking of a “reign-ending atmosphere for King Mohammed VI.” This clear coordination among different newspapers suggests a unified goal: to destabilize Moroccan institutions and question their legitimacy.
Fabricating and Amplifying Rumors
In addition to traditional journalism, dangerous rumors were injected via anonymous platforms like “Jabroot,” which claimed there were attempts to “alter the Crown Prince’s genes.” Despite the scientific absurdity of this claim, its organized dissemination through digital channels turned it into a tradable commodity, revealing a deliberate tactic that prioritizes emotional provocation over credibility.
A Coordinated Effort by Foreign Media and Hostile Parties
The campaign was fully realized with the entry of Algerian “electronic flies” (e-flies), who exploited the rumors to flood the digital space. Furthermore, known opponents of Morocco, such as Mohamed Radi Al-Lili and Salah Eddine Belbakri, republished the same narrative verbatim, a clear sign of a central command center managing these campaigns and assigning roles to various platforms and individuals.
Analyzing the Implications and the Path Forward
This campaign shows that Morocco is at the heart of an intense regional rivalry. It also reveals the weakness of the Kingdom’s adversaries in offering convincing alternatives, as they resort to disruption tactics instead of rational arguments.
Today, Morocco is called upon to view these attacks not as mere media assaults, but as an indicator of its sensitive geopolitical position. The real challenge is not to respond to every single claim, but to strengthen the Kingdom’s international media presence and acquire the tools to influence foreign public opinion, thereby preventing its adversaries from leaving the field open.
