On the occasion of the National Migrant Day celebrated on August 10 each year, the Secretary General of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME), Abdellah Boussouf , addresses in an interview various concerns related to the role of Moroccans living abroad in the new development model and that of the CCME in supporting them.
The international agreements signed by Moroccan ministers, particularly the agreement on the exchange of banking data, are not helping Moroccans living abroad, denounced Abdellah Boussouf, Secretary General of the CCME. He accuses the Moroccan government of concluding the agreements without a prior analysis of the repercussions on Moroccans residing abroad.
The Moroccan diaspora is called upon to play an important role in the country’s development. According to the Secretary General of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME), this can only be done if the authorities create a favorable environment for better consideration.
The Moroccan Community Council Abroad (CCME) has sounded the alarm on the situation of young Moroccans in Europe. 64% of them say they are victims of discrimination in all its forms, according to a survey conducted in partnership with IPSOS.
The health crisis related to covid-19 is having a negative impact on money transfers from Moroccans living abroad (MRE) , which are already "down 10%". A situation that could worsen in the months to come.

It decided to file a complaint against the daily and the author of the article for allegations damaging the reputation of an institution and the honor of its Secretary General, Abdallah Boussouf.
