The government is also fundamentally stable due to the Moroccan political culture which has a unique aspect that most populous Arab countries cannot easily emulate. Morocco is governed by a monarchy with three centuries of continuous history in the country, it said in an article entitled "the Moroccan exception".
"King Mohammed VI himself enjoys immense popularity," it underlined, recalling the reforms launched by the Sovereign since his enthronment notably the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER) "the first-ever in the Arab world" aiming at redressing past injustices.
Referring to most recent parliamentary elections, the US channel quoted the French Daily Le Monde hailing voting as the "Moroccan Exception" to the Arab region. It also noted that young people have numerous outlets to express themselves in the country's robust, privately owned media.
Writer of the article Ahmed Charai, member of the board of directors of American think tank Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), said that the system that has been put in place by HM the King to address the problem of poverty is based on a partnership approach with civil society institutions. "The resources mobilized are considerable."
Urban areas have registered the highest gains. The Sovereign has begun to act on plans to raze shantytowns and relocate their inhabitants to new public housing, it noted.
New infrastructure projects promise to put a sizable portion of the rural poor to work, through the massive building of roads and highways, ports, rural electrification, and potable water projects for the countryside, it added.
HM the King has undertaken to reform religious life more broadly, promoting an open and tolerant form of Islam and fighting intellectual and cultural extremism, it went on, saying that this endeavour has included the deployment of female religious "advisors" to many mosques and the reengineering of Islamic education in the kingdom
