A recent development sees Moroccan recruits being integrated into French military units for training, framing, and equipping. This initiative has sparked discussion, partly fueled by a linguistic phenomenon within Moroccan Arabic where the sound ‘q’ is often pronounced as ‘g’. The article notes a common alteration of words, such as pronouncing “said” as “kal li” instead of “qal”. The core of the matter revolves around the formation of these Moroccan-staffed units under French military command. Details regarding the scope and purpose of this deployment remain somewhat unclear, but it signifies a new level of military cooperation between Morocco and France. The article originally appeared in Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper. Further information regarding the specifics of this arrangement is anticipated.
