Secretary General of the Council for the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME), Mr. Abdellah Boussouf, is of the view that the biggest challenge facing female Moroccan migrants in Gulf countries is stereotyping propagandized and propagated by the media, which overlook the women talents in these countries, who are ambassadors and role models in the countries of residence.
In an interview, published by “Akhbar al-Yawm al-Maghribiya” newspaper, in its weekend issue (6-7 December), Mr. Boussouf noted that the international context shaken by the economic crisis repercussions pushed the Moroccan elite, holders of high degrees, towards Gulf countries, in lieu of going or staying in Europe or the US. This is due to the continual evolution of the Gulf countries, the major construction works and the tempting offers provided by these countries, as well as the cultural rapprochement and the historical ties uniting Morocco and these countries.
Mr. Boussouf, added that the Council seeks to dispel the stereotypes affecting Moroccan women of the Gulf, by showcasing the leading roles played by Moroccan women, their various contributions to the history of humanity and to the Moroccan culture, as well as their participation, shoulder to shoulder, with men in the development of their homeland and milieus.
Should I translate the interview as well?

France: the far right leads the regional elections
The first round of the regional elections, which took place in France on Sunday December 6th 2015, has set the National Front party, led by Marine le Pen, ahead of the traditional republican parties.
Although this is only the first round of the regional elections with a turnout of less than 45%, the FN members and sympathizers have massively mobilized, allowing the National Front to be, in practice, already elected in some key regions of France.
These elections, which occur after three weeks following the Paris attacks, and equally at a time when the asylum issue is tear Europe apart, are likely to affect the Old Continent. The far-right parties have been on an upward slope in the last months, owing to the issue of Syrian refugees and the rise of racism against Muslims. The second round of these regional elections will be held on 13 December, which is exactly a month after the Paris attacks.
