What has happened to Nayshan magazine is unfair and a precedence we could not imagine happening. It is true that we in Morocco did not believe the breeze of freedom they are talking about but we have also never imagined that jokes could lead you to court and being banned. Freedom of Press is guaranteed internationally but is a delayed dream in Morocco. What I cannot understand is the role played by a few journalists in sensationalising the news and focusing people's eyes on the jokes dossier prepared by journalist and blogger Sana Al Aaji. I am also confused about how the magazine was banned 10 days after it was published and after a new issue was out in the market. The Moroccan government's decision is unfair and we condemn what this magazine is facing. We also consider it against freedom of expression and see it as taking steps backwards. شكرا فرح على التفاتاتك الرائعة إلى ما يتم تدوينه مغربيا .

Three years ago, I saw five Moroccan Santas in a row on the Plaza de España in Larache! More than that, their beards were real! I was with one of my friends, and I told him this seemed strange to me. He replied with what he said was a popular saying, "In Morocco you must expand your nose." In other words, nothing is strange in Morocco! Laila’s comment about Santa reminds me.
