Morocco’s efforts to fight once morest irregular immigration, the stakes of investment in human capital and road accidents, are the main topics covered by the daily newspapers published on Thursday.
+L’Opinion+, which discusses the efforts made by Morocco to combat irregular immigration, writes that the means deployed by Rabat to cushion the migratory shock wave which today threatens the Old Continent, “are extremely costly both both materially and humanly,” according to Apanews.
The final bill is “much more salty” than the possible European envelope of 500 million euros to finance Rabat’s efforts to counter irregular immigration, notes the editorialist.
Today, it is common knowledge that Morocco wants to make the fight once morest illegal migration the strength and not the Achilles’ heel of the partnership between Europe and Africa.
But to do this, it is necessary to dissipate the “misunderstandings” and the “controversy” which surround the migratory phenomenon, “which is neither a weapon, nor an instrument of Moroccan pressure”, he maintains.
+L’Economiste+, which addresses the challenges of investing in human capital, focusing on the OCP group, writes that in order to share part of the wealth it creates with society, the OCP group has chosen to investing in people, explaining that the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UMP), the 1337 and YouCode schools, and the “Lydex” high school of excellence are all examples of this orientation.
The group has not done in half measures: teacher-researchers of national and international renown, high standard infrastructure and state-of-the-art equipment have been mobilized, he notes.
The students are chosen on the basis of their merit, and the majority are scholarship holders, he adds.
In the space of three years, between 2017 and 2020, the UM6P has produced more than 660 scientific publications and today has around thirty patents, an average of 6 per year, he notes.
+Today Morocco+, which dwells on road accidents, which continue to claim so many human lives in the Kingdom, writes that the road war still claims victims in our country and that the summer season, which is experiencing an exponential increase in road traffic, makes the risk even greater.
While the year 2020 had seen a certain drop in the death toll due to health restrictions and the curfew, the number of dead and seriously injured today seems to be on the rise once more, notes the publication.
Although in recent years, the highway code has been changed and speed cameras have been installed, the results are still struggling to follow, he laments, considering it necessary to make the sanctions even more dissuasive.
