While 10,000 conscripts for military service were expected, directives from King Mohammed VI would have been behind the increase in this number, which is now 15,000 conscripts for the first group.

In his capacity as supreme commander and chief of staff of the FAR, King Mohammed VI addressed this Tuesday, May 14, 2019, an order of the day to officers, non-commissioned officers and troops. But also and above all, to the young people of the military service . This was as part of the celebration of the 63rd anniversary of the creation of the Royal Armed Forces.

Several candidates summoned for military service would have chosen to leave Morocco. This situation is now worrying the Spanish authorities who have noted an increase in arrivals from the kingdom.

A young man in a wheelchair for many years, from Guelmim, has just received a summons to fill out the census form and perform his military service . The residents of the region did not appreciate it. Nor did the internet users.

Makeup and weapons... After creating a buzz by rushing to volunteer for military service, Hassnaâ Bellaziz would have been harshly criticized. But this does not discourage her at all. She was interviewed by Telquel and some of her remarks are absolutely worth a detour.

50,000 dirhams. This is what some intermediaries are offering to personalities so that their children are exempted from military service, for example by having them travel abroad.

A Moqadem would have tried, in the city of Taourirt, to deliver a summons to a young man, apparently in a very bad mood. The matter ended up at the hospital for one and at the police station for the other.

You have to see it to believe it! A 22-year-old Moroccan woman practically rushed to do her military service, even though she already had a job at the Marrakech University Hospital. Her name is Hasnaa Belaziz. And by all accounts, she was just waiting for this.

For a few days, a controversy has been raging over the temporary or permanent exemption to be granted to young people who would like to avoid military service. Very quickly, the Minister of the Interior, Abdelouafi Laftit, who is keen to guarantee the principle of equality between all citizens, has warned against any manipulation of exemption certificates.

The Ministry of the Interior does not seem to have provided the means necessary for Tajnid.ma, a website dedicated to the military census of young Moroccans and which is supposed to allow them to register.

The census of conscripts for military service will take place between April 9 and June 7, 2019, according to a circular just published by the Ministry of the Interior.
