The recent decline in the United States’ standing in the Arab world and China’s growing influence indeed has significant implications. Let’s break down some key points:
Public Opinion Shift:
A new public opinion survey reveals that Arab citizens’ views of the United States have sharply declined due to its support for Israel during the conflict in Gaza.
China, surprisingly, emerges as the main beneficiary in the region.
China’s Diplomatic Gains:
Beijing is capitalizing on this situation, reaping diplomatic rewards with minimal investment.
China’s humanitarian aid, high-level visits, and rhetorical support for the Palestinians are paying off.
Impact Beyond the Middle East:
China’s benefits extend beyond the Middle East to Southeast Asia.
Public approval of the U.S. among Muslim-majority populations in Southeast Asia has also fallen sharply.
U.S. Political Polarization:
American politicians used to care about global perceptions of the U.S., but today’s intense political polarization hinders such considerations.
President Biden faces constraints due to internal divisions within Congress and his own party.
China’s Rising Influence:
The longer the Gaza conflict persists, the more China’s standing grows in the Middle East and the Global South.
In this complex geopolitical landscape, the balance of power is shifting, and China is strategically leveraging opportunities.
The Recipe for World Madness In the Islamic Regions
Since Father Bush’s Presidency, the equation of U.S. Foreign Policy has tilted toward direct intervention and reshaping of the Muslim World of North Africa, Subsaharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
Today is the return of the crank of an engine that rusted given that no improvement in the living conditions of the masses occurred despite all the given promises that the change of regimes will bring better life.
This lack of materialization added more burden on the shoulders of the people on top of the ones driven by the new rulers installed in a new democratic way made the United States Foreign Policy be seen as a change in the continuity if not worsening the social, economic, and financial structures in these regions.
The East and the West rivalry exacerbated these localized tensions resulting from the direct competition between China and the United States, the split of the World Geopolitics in dual and multipolar divisions also deepened.
The evolving landscape of U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic regions has been marked by complex dynamics and shifting priorities. Let’s explore some key aspects:
Post-Cold War Interventions: Since the era of President George H.W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy has increasingly involved direct intervention and reshaping in Muslim-majority regions.
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia have been focal points for strategic engagement.
Unfulfilled Promises: Despite promises of positive change under new regimes, living conditions for the masses have not significantly improved.
The gap between expectations and reality has burdened the population.
Continuity and Challenges: The transition to democratic governance has sometimes failed to address underlying social, economic, and financial issues.
Some perceive U.S. foreign policy as perpetuating existing structures rather than effecting positive transformation.
Global Rivalries: The rivalry between the East (China) and the West (United States) has intensified localized tensions.
Geopolitical divisions have deepened, impacting stability and regional dynamics.
In this complex landscape, the pursuit of stability, development, and peace remains a delicate balancing act.
How about Africa where the U.S. presence like France is no more accepted such today in Niger with the rapatriation of the U.S. forces from Niger, 900 soldiers and the rejection of the French army presence by Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso along the rise of Russian intelligence and military and the Chinese financial and economi presence in the same area of Africa
Case studies that shed light on the challenges related to U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic regions:
US Foreign Policy and Conflict in Eurasia:
This series examines the role of U.S. foreign policy in exacerbating or ameliorating hostilities among and within Muslim nations.
It explores tensions between Islamic groups and the West, particularly in the context of security concerns after 9/11.
These case studies highlight the complexities and long-term implications of U.S. engagement in the Islamic regions.
African nations navigate a delicate balancing act in their relations with multiple global powers.
Diversification: African countries engage with various powers, including the United States, China, Russia, and regional actors. By diversifying partnerships, they avoid overreliance on any single nation.
Pragmatism: African leaders prioritize national interests over ideological alignment. They seek economic, security, and development benefits from different partners.
Balancing Act: African nations balance cooperation and competition among major powers.
Evolving dynamics in Africa, where various global powers are asserting their influence:
French Withdrawal:
French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to withdraw French troops from Niger came after demands from the country’s military leadership.
This move reflects a broader trend of French withdrawals from African countries, including Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, and Mali.
In this complex landscape, African nations must navigate competing interests while maintaining agency in global frameworks. They aim to maximize gains while minimizing risks.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has significant implications for global dynamics, including China’s role. Here are some key points:
China’s Diplomatic Influence: As Russia’s actions face international condemnation, China has positioned itself as a diplomatic player in the South and beyond.
Beijing’s engagement with countries seeking alternatives to U.S.-Russia tensions strengthens its standing.
By fostering stronger ties, China becomes a peer to G7 economies.
Strategic Calculations:
China’s support for Russia is multifaceted. It goes beyond the military conflict and aligns with its response to U.S. containment strategies. Beijing’s investments and partnerships yield returns, even amid geopolitical complexities.
In this evolving landscape, China’s role as a diplomatic force continues to shape global relations.
In the case of Lobito investment, China hold the primary role and in the Central Africa and Sahel, Russia hold the military power making Africa to be more tuned toward a nationalistic approach for its development and using the colonialism and the neo-colonialism as the reason of changing the rulers by new military militants instead the legation of the western countries
Lobito Investment: The Lobito Atlantic Railway project, covering Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Zambia, is a significant infrastructure initiative. Led by the United States, the project aims to enhance logistical infrastructure in southern Africa. However, Chinese state-owned enterprises and private companies already dominate critical mineral supply chains (such as copper and cobalt) needed for electric vehicle components. The Lobito Corridor project may inadvertently benefit Chinese companies more than originally intended.
China’s economic influence and Russia’s military presence shape Africa’s development and governance, with implications for nationalistic approaches and changes in leadership.

Updated on June 7, 2024 – April 1, 2023, – January 5, 2022 and Originally Published on October 3, 2021
Introduction and explanation of the reason for writing and publishing the following articles that are reflective of decades of research around the world
Introduction et explication de la raison de la rédaction et de la publication des articles suivants qui reflètent des décennies de recherche à travers le monde
Mind State of a Single Transition and Two Faces of the Same Energy Vision
The Dream of an Editor is to break the silence and publish analyses, reports and reports on taboo subjects, especially those which convey the reform of knowledge and the recasting of current events according to official standards. As a Moroccan, Morocco is our first idea of development and building benefits for the rest of the nation.
Our work is a journey strewn with obstacles to bring about our perception and our belief in the Written and the publication of articles addressing both the structures of thought and the carrying out actions that can make the debate fruitful and enrich the constructive activities of progress. social, economic development and operational integration of state public agencies in the pursuit, overhaul and realization of the objectives and performances going towards the realization of the authentic independence of the financial and productive economy of Morocco.
État d’esprit d’une transition unique et deux faces d’une même vision d’énergie
Le Rêve d’un Editeur est de briser le silence et de publier des analyses, des reportages et des reportages sur des sujets tabous, notamment ceux qui véhiculent la réforme des savoirs et la refonte de l’actualité selon les normes officielles. En tant que Marocain, le Maroc est notre première idée de développement et de création de bénéfices pour le reste de la nation.
Notre travail est un chemin semé d’embûches pour faire émerger notre perception et notre croyance dans l’Écrit et la publication d’articles abordant à la fois les structures de pensée et la conduite d’actions susceptibles de féconder le débat et d’enrichir les activités constructives de progrès. le développement social, économique et l’intégration opérationnelle des organismes publics de l’Etat dans la poursuite, la refonte et la réalisation des objectifs et performances allant vers la réalisation de l’indépendance authentique de l’économie financière et productive du Maroc.
The counterpart, as in the case of United States investments in a multipolar world, Morocco is choosing:
1 – Targets both at the level of the positioning of the Moroccan Economy on the energy supply chain which is the most important and the most vulnerable at the level of the international market as it is the most profitable at the level of seasonal variations.
2 – Objectives centered on the current multipolar and neutrality in relation to the geo-strategic aims of a competitive nature between the West – United States and Allies + European Union on one side and BRIC, China, Russia and the Dandinons who waddle between the two blocs: like India and the other countries of the South.
3 – Morocco seeks to prove its capacity to replace clean and renewable energies as a national export and as a Magnet for the attractiveness of foreign direct investments which consider Electric Energy as one of the main elements of their risk analysis concerning the host countries of their companies.
4 – Morocco needs to assert itself at the level of the production and transformation of Electric Energy at the level of its offer as a commodity in order to establish its industrialize strategy which will be the new and next stage, namely Emergence of an offer of local and regional solutions for international demand for the International Division of Technological Work, Logistics based on niches of the mastery of digital knowledge and its extension of robotic intelligence.
5 – Morocco is moving forward, building itself and moving towards the establishment of an economy equipped with all the assets to make it a national economic structure diversified regionally and homogeneous at the national level as a stakeholder in the concert of nations hosting national industries located on the periphery of those of other Western and Eastern countries.
These economies, through their past collaborations and their present competition, have far exceeded the framework of the sole “Screwdriver Factory – Tourne-vise Usine” and “Assembly Line – Asymmetrical Assembly Line” asymetric as the basis for the control of the creation and innovation.
These countries, especially in South-West Asia, including China, are now located in an open and spontaneously competitive space at the level of manufacturing and the asymmetrical production of products and services offered for direct and variable consumption by consumers now acquired through selection. products based on their own criteria of choice and demonstration effect and having no consideration for the national origin of the product consumed.
A leveling of supply and demand is found at the level of purchasing power, the price of the product, the quality of its utility, the reliability of distribution logistics and customer service as well as the proximity of the international consumer market in power.
La contrepartie comme le cas des investissements des Etats Unis dans un monde multipolaire, le Maroc est en train de choisir:
1 – Des cibles a la fois au niveau du positionnement de l’Économie du Maroc sur la chaîne d’approvisionnement énergétique qui la plus importante et la plus vulnérable au niveau du marche international comme elle est la plus rentable au niveau des variations saisonnières.
2 – Des objectifs centrés sur les actuelles multipolaires et la neutralité par rapport aux visées géo-stratégiques d’ordre concurrentielles entre l’Occident – Etats-Unis et Alliés + Union Européenne d’un coté et BRIC, Chine, Russie et les Dandinons qui dandinent entre les deux blocs: comme l’Inde et les autres pays du Sud.
3 – Le Maroc cherche a se prouver sa capacité de substituer les énergies propres et renouvelables en tant qu’exportation nationale et en tant que Magnet pour l’attractivité des investissements directs étrangers qui considèrent l’Énergie Electrique en tant qu’un des principaux éléments de leur analyse des risques concernant les pays hôtes de leurs entreprises.
4 – Le Maroc a besoin de se faire valoir au niveau de la production et la transformation de l’Énergie Electrique au niveau de son offre comme commodité afin d’asseoir sa stratégie industrialisable qui sera la nouvelle et la prochaine étape a savoir l’Émergence d’une offre de solutions locales et régionales pour la demande internationale pour la Division International du Travail Technologique, Logistiques basée sur des créneaux de la maîtrise du savoir numérique et sa prolongation de l’intelligence robotique.
5 – Le Maroc s’avance, se construit et se dirige vers l’instauration d’une économie dotée de tous les atouts pour en faire une structure économique nationale diversifiée régionalement et homogène au niveau nationale en tant que partie prenante du concert des nations abritant des industries nationales localisées a la périphérie de celles des autres pays occidentaux et orientaux.
Ces économies a travers leurs collaborations passées et leurs concurrences présentes ont largement dépassées le cadre de la seule “Screwdriver Factory – Tourne-vise Usine” et “Assembly Line – Ligne d’Assemblage” asymétrique comme base et comme seule maîtrise de la création et de l’innovation.
Ces pays surtout du Sud-Ouest Asiatique y compris la Chine se situent dorénavant dans un espace ouvert et concurrentiel spontané au niveau de la manufacture et la production asymétrique des produits et des services offert a la consommation directe et variable des consommateurs dorénavant acquis a la sélection des produits basés sur leur propre critères de choix et d’effet de démonstration et n’ayant aucune considération pour l’origine nationale du produit consommé.
Un nivellement de l’offre comme de la demande se rencontre au niveau du pouvoir d’achat, du prix du produit, la qualité de son utilité, la fiabilité de la logistique de distribution et du service clients ainsi que la proximité du marché consommateur international en puissance.
My concepts and my ideas put forward in this text deserve further study by decision-makers, political leaders, state officials, researchers, academicians and business leaders in Morocco.
Since the end of the 1970s I have been writing and analyzing this phenomenon of transition and transformation of economies, Africa search for a Model of Development in the first place.
A year later, I started my research on Industrial Development in Morocco and what is the central role of the State in lifting the economy to a take-off, growth, and steady development of the most important industrial sectors and productions driving the Moroccan economy and providing the highest return and employment as well as contribution in the exports.
While I was a young student at Sciences Po Grenoble in France, where I lived one of the most devastating in my life stories which undermined all the ingredients and opportunities for another Made In Great Britain future of the time but my pride to be an African and to remain so was worth all the losses I endured thereafter like a cascade of magma burning everything in my path. My wounds have never been healed but my African dignity is my eternal strength
I am proud to have always supported Africa wherever I go and this through the Education I received from my Mother and my Father, Rahma Wa Ghofrane for all our parents, Amen

Mon concepts et mes idées avancés dans ce texte méritent un approfondissement de la part des décideurs, des leaders politiques, de responsables de l’Etat, des chercheurs, des académiciens et des chefs d’entreprises au Maroc.
Depuis la fin des années 70 que j’écris et analyse ce phénomène de la transition et de la transformation des économies, en premier le Maroc.
Un an plus tard, j’ai commencé mes recherches sur le développement industriel au Maroc et sur le rôle central de l’État dans l’élévation de l’économie vers un décollage, une croissance et un développement régulier des secteurs industriels et des productions les plus importants qui stimulent l’économie marocaine et offrant le rendement et l’emploi les plus élevés ainsi qu’une contribution aux exportations.
Alors que j’étais jeune étudiant à Sciences Po Grenoble en France, où j’ai vécu l’une des histoires les plus dévastatrices de ma vie qui a miné tous les ingrédients et opportunités pour un autre futur Made In Great Britain de l’époque, mais ma fierté d’être Africain et le rester valait toutes les pertes que j’ai endurées par la suite comme une cascade de magma brûlant tout sur mon passage. Mes blessures n’ont jamais été guéries mais ma dignité africaine est ma force éternelle
Je suis fier d’avoir toujours soutenu l’Afrique partout où je vais et cela à travers l’Éducation que j’ai reçue de ma Mère et de mon Père, Rahma Wa Ghofrane pour tous nos parents, Amen

Here is my modest contribution to advance the discussion and to stimulate the debate about national energy that is “essential and/or detrimental” to any model development and if we are seeking to have our industries to be the hub for the Manufacturing sector located between Europe, North America, Middle and Fareast and our Africa, we need to have a Great Power diversified and plural in its source like in its energetic provision based on national independence of our Energy Policy.
Just for matter of location and extension, China has developed a Solar Farm that can provide power to the entire Country of Sierra Leone.
Voici ma modeste contribution pour faire avancer la discussion et stimuler le débat sur l’énergie nationale « essentielle et/ou préjudiciable » à tout développement de modèle et si nous cherchons à faire de nos industries la plaque tournante du secteur manufacturier situé entre l’Europe , Amérique du Nord, Moyen et Extrême-Orient et notre Afrique, nous avons besoin d’avoir une Grande Puissance diversifiée et plurielle dans sa source ainsi que dans son approvisionnement énergétique basé sur l’indépendance nationale de notre politique énergétique.
Juste pour des questions d’emplacement et d’extension, la Chine a développé une ferme solaire capable de fournir de l’électricité à l’ensemble du pays de la Sierra Leone.
China has just connected what it believes to be the world’s biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. The plant covers an area of 200,000 acres and is reported to have an output of 6.09 billion kWh annually.
The new plant is in the deserts near the region’s capital Ürümqi. The site came online this Monday (June 3) and is being run by the Chinese state-owned Power Construction Corporation, co-owned by the China Africa Development Fund and the Shenzhen Energy Group, with a respective stake of 50% each.

We’re part of @xlinks_uk’s project to build a giant cable between Devon and Morocco, unlocking more reliable, cheap and clean electrons 20 hours a day. “What’ll we do when the wind’s not blowing in the UK?” “Get sunshine from Morocco.”
@xlinks_uk‘s project to build a giant cable between Devon and Morocco.
In Britain, the tiny Devon village of 286 people is linked to MOROCCO by the world’s longest £16 billion submarine cable
The village of Alverdiscott, Devon, is the final destination of the submarine cable project £16 billion marine The village of 286 is linked to a line to Morocco. The scheme will import solar and wind power to power seven million homes by 2030
The Answer my British Friend is Blowing in the Wind !!!
The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project will be a new electricity generation facility entirely powered by solar and wind energy combined with a battery storage facility. Located in Morocco’s renewable energy-rich region of Guelmim Oued Noun, it will be connected exclusively to Great Britain via 3,800km HVDC sub-sea cables.
This “first of a kind” project will generate 10.5GW of zero-carbon electricity from the sun and wind to deliver 3.6GW of reliable energy for an average of 20+ hours a day. This is enough to provide low-cost, clean power to over 7 million British homes by 2030. Once complete, the project will be capable of supplying 8 percent of Great Britain’s electricity needs.
Alongside the consistent output from its solar panels and wind turbines, an onsite 20GWh/5GW battery facility will provide sufficient storage to reliably deliver each and every day, a dedicated, near-constant source of flexible and predictable clean energy for Britain, designed to complement the renewable energy already generated across the UK.
When domestic renewable energy generation in the United Kingdom drops due to low winds and short periods of sun, the project will harvest the benefits of long hours of sun in Morocco alongside the consistency of its convection Trade Winds, to provide a firm but flexible source of zero-carbon electricity.
British renewable energy company Xlinks is the developer of the project which will cover an area of around 579 square miles (1,500 square kilometers) in Morocco. A 10.5 gigawatt (GW) solar and wind farm will be built in the Moroccan region of Guelmim-Oued Noun. The cables will run above ground from the Power Plant until they reach the town of Tantan, where they will run underground.
The laying of the cable will be done with the help of fishing fleets, and the planned route of the cable avoids as many conservation areas as possible. Following a shallow water route from Morocco to the UK, via Spain, Portugal and France, these cables will connect to the UK national grid in Devon.
Clean energy will thus be connected exclusively to the UK via 2,361 miles (3,800 km) and this with high voltage, direct current (HVDC) submarine cables and are used because of their ability to reduce inefficiencies when transporting energy.
This project is part of the drive to achieve a national net-zero electricity grid by 2035. Xlinks says the Morocco-UK electricity project will be able to power 7 million UK homes in by 2030, representing up to 8% of UK energy needs.
The project will cost $21.9 billion. Xlinks will build 7 GW of solar power and 3.5 GW of wind power, as well as 20 GWh/5 GW on-site battery storage, in Morocco. The transmission cable will consist of four cables. The first cable will be active in early 2027 and the other three should be launched in 2029. An agreement has been reached with the National Grid for two 1.8 GW connections at Alverdiscott in Devon.
Update April 21, 2022:
Submarine cable maker XLCC will build a factory in Hunterston, Scotland, and its first production will be for the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project. Alverdiscott in North Devon will provide four 2,361-mile (3,800 km) submarine cables, the first phase between 2025 and 2027 linking wind and solar power generated in Morocco. This initiative will nearly double the current global production of HVDC cable manufacturing. The world’s longest submarine cables will require 90,000 metric tons of steel, and XLCC signed Britain’s Steel Charter in Parliament this week, in which it pledged to use British steel.
Why go all the way to Morocco to get electricity for the UK?
A response made on October 3, 2021, is given by a British news outlet:
At the beginning of October 2021, this project was estimated at 16 billion pounds sterling and aims to circumvent the fundamental problems of British wind and solar energy. Our winds are unpredictable and tend to blow at times of day when electricity demand is lowest. As it is for the British sun, well.
Meanwhile, in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region of Morocco, where the green power will be produced, reliable trade winds blow year-round. Equally practical, the wind speed at the Morocco site increases in the late afternoon and evening, coinciding with peak demand periods in the UK.
The sun in Morocco also shines about 3,500 hours a year. By contrast, Britain averages only 1,500 hours of sunshine per year. And because the sun burns more intensely in North Africa, the solar panels each produce about three times as much electricity there as in the UK, even in winter when British need electricity the most for heating and the light.
The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power project consists of building an inordinate amount of new kits to generate and transport green energy. This means covering 1,500 km2 of Moroccan desert with solar panels, wind turbines and a huge battery storage unit. And copper or aluminum submarine cables, wrapped in polythene insulation, will carry the generated energy to Devon. Four such cables are required, each threaded along a shallow undersea route through Spain, Portugal and France to Alverdiscott.
In the village, two 1.8 GW voltage source converter stations, which look like massive Meccano skeletons, will be built. (1.8 GW is the planned generation capacity for the Norfolk Vanguard wind farm project in the North Sea, which would consist of 180 turbines up to 1,150 feet tall.)
An answer made on April 21, 2022, in a word, the Resilience that is given by the company that is responsible for this project, Xlinks .
Xlinks explains: Morocco benefits from ideal solar and wind resources, necessary to develop renewable projects that could guarantee adequate electricity production throughout the year. It has the third highest Global Horizontal Radiation (GHI) in North Africa, which is 20% higher than the Spanish GHI and more than twice that of the UK. In addition, the shortest winter day still offers more than 10 hours of sunshine. This helps deliver generation profiles that meet the needs of the UK electricity market, particularly during periods of low offshore wind generation.
Remote generation and interconnection between distant geographic regions with inversely correlated weather systems will be more effective in addressing supply and demand imbalances over longer periods of time.
Xlinks notes that solar panels generate about three times more electricity in Morocco than that produced in the UK. Additionally, solar panels in Morocco have a higher capacity to generate up to five times more electricity from January to March than those in the UK.
According to its promoters, this project should create nearly 10,000 jobs in Morocco, including 2,000 permanent jobs.

Mind State of a Single Transition and Two Faces of the Same Energy Vision
The Dream of an Editor is to break the silence and publish analyses, reports and reports on taboo subjects, especially those which convey the reform of knowledge and the recasting of current events according to official standards. As a Moroccan, Morocco is our first idea of development and building benefits for the rest of the nation.
Our work is a journey strewn with obstacles to bring about our perception and our belief in the Written and the publication of articles addressing both the structures of thought and the carrying out actions that can make the debate fruitful and enrich the constructive activities of progress. social, economic development and operational integration of state public agencies in the pursuit, overhaul and realization of the objectives and performances going towards the realization of the authentic independence of the financial and productive economy of Morocco.
By Said El Mansour Cherkaoui – 12/17/2023
État d’esprit d’une transition unique et deux faces d’une même vision énergétique
Le Rêve d’un Editeur est de briser le silence et de publier des analyses, des reportages et des reportages sur des sujets tabous, notamment ceux qui véhiculent la réforme des savoirs et la refonte de l’actualité selon les normes officielles. En tant que Marocain, le Maroc est notre première idée de développement et de création de bénéfices pour le reste de la nation.
Notre travail est un chemin semé d’embûches pour faire émerger notre perception et notre croyance dans l’Écrit et la publication d’articles abordant à la fois les structures de pensée et la conduite d’actions susceptibles de féconder le débat et d’enrichir les activités constructives de progrès. le développement social, économique et l’intégration opérationnelle des organismes publics de l’Etat dans la poursuite, la refonte et la réalisation des objectifs et performances allant vers la réalisation de l’indépendance authentique de l’économie financière et productive du Maroc.
Par Said El Mansour Cherkaoui – 17/12/2023
The counterpart, as in the case of United States investments in a multipolar world, Morocco is choosing:
1 – Targets both at the level of the positioning of the Moroccan Economy on the energy supply chain which is the most important and the most vulnerable at the level of the international market as it is the most profitable at the level of seasonal variations.
2 – Objectives centered on the current multipolar and neutrality in relation to the geo-strategic aims of a competitive nature between the West – United States and Allies + European Union on one side and BRIC, China, Russia and the Dandinons who waddle between the two blocs: like India and the other countries of the South.
3 – Morocco seeks to prove its capacity to replace clean and renewable energies as a national export and as a Magnet for the attractiveness of foreign direct investments which consider Electric Energy as one of the main elements of their risk analysis concerning the host countries of their companies.
4 – Morocco needs to assert itself at the level of the production and transformation of Electric Energy at the level of its offer as a commodity in order to establish its industrialize strategy which will be the new and next stage, namely Emergence of an offer of local and regional solutions for international demand for the International Division of Technological Work, Logistics based on niches of the mastery of digital knowledge and its extension of robotic intelligence.
5 – Morocco is moving forward, building itself and moving towards the establishment of an economy equipped with all the assets to make it a national economic structure diversified regionally and homogeneous at the national level as a stakeholder in the concert of nations hosting national industries located on the periphery of those of other Western and Eastern countries.
These economies, through their past collaborations and their present competition, have far exceeded the framework of the sole “Screwdriver Factory – Tourne-vise Usine” and “Assembly Line – Asymmetrical Assembly Line” asymetric as the basis for the control of the creation and innovation.
These countries, especially in South-West Asia, including China, are now located in an open and spontaneously competitive space at the level of manufacturing and the asymmetrical production of products and services offered for direct and variable consumption by consumers now acquired through selection. products based on their own criteria of choice and demonstration effect and having no consideration for the national origin of the product consumed.
A leveling of supply and demand is found at the level of purchasing power, the price of the product, the quality of its utility, the reliability of distribution logistics and customer service as well as the proximity of the international consumer market in power.
La contrepartie comme le cas des investissements des Etats Unis dans un monde multipolaire, le Maroc est en train de choisir:
1 – Des cibles a la fois au niveau du positionnement de l’Économie du Maroc sur la chaîne d’approvisionnement énergétique qui la plus importante et la plus vulnérable au niveau du marche international comme elle est la plus rentable au niveau des variations saisonnières.
2 – Des objectifs centrés sur les actuelles multipolaires et la neutralité par rapport aux visées géo-stratégiques d’ordre concurrentielles entre l’Occident – Etats-Unis et Alliés + Union Européenne d’un coté et BRIC, Chine, Russie et les Dandinons qui dandinent entre les deux blocs: comme l’Inde et les autres pays du Sud.
3 – Le Maroc cherche a se prouver sa capacité de substituer les énergies propres et renouvelables en tant qu’exportation nationale et en tant que Magnet pour l’attractivité des investissements directs étrangers qui considèrent l’Énergie Electrique en tant qu’un des principaux éléments de leur analyse des risques concernant les pays hôtes de leurs entreprises.
4 – Le Maroc a besoin de se faire valoir au niveau de la production et la transformation de l’Énergie Electrique au niveau de son offre comme commodité afin d’asseoir sa stratégie industrialisable qui sera la nouvelle et la prochaine étape a savoir l’Émergence d’une offre de solutions locales et régionales pour la demande internationale pour la Division International du Travail Technologique, Logistiques basée sur des créneaux de la maîtrise du savoir numérique et sa prolongation de l’intelligence robotique.
5 – Le Maroc s’avance, se construit et se dirige vers l’instauration d’une économie dotée de tous les atouts pour en faire une structure économique nationale diversifiée régionalement et homogène au niveau nationale en tant que partie prenante du concert des nations abritant des industries nationales localisées a la périphérie de celles des autres pays occidentaux et orientaux.
Ces économies a travers leurs collaborations passées et leurs concurrences présentes ont largement dépassées le cadre de la seule “Screwdriver Factory – Tourne-vise Usine” et “Assembly Line – Ligne d’Assemblage” asymétrique comme base et comme seule maîtrise de la création et de l’innovation.
Ces pays surtout du Sud-Ouest Asiatique y compris la Chine se situent dorénavant dans un espace ouvert et concurrentiel spontané au niveau de la manufacture et la production asymétrique des produits et des services offert a la consommation directe et variable des consommateurs dorénavant acquis a la sélection des produits basés sur leur propre critères de choix et d’effet de démonstration et n’ayant aucune considération pour l’origine nationale du produit consommé.
Un nivellement de l’offre comme de la demande se rencontre au niveau du pouvoir d’achat, du prix du produit, la qualité de son utilité, la fiabilité de la logistique de distribution et du service clients ainsi que la proximité du marché consommateur international en puissance.
My concepts and my ideas put forward in this text deserve further study by decision-makers, political leaders, state officials, researchers, academicians and business leaders in Morocco.
Since the end of the 1970s I have been writing and analyzing this phenomenon of transition and transformation of economies, Africa search for a Model of Development in the first place.
A year later, I started my research on Industrial Development in Morocco and what is the central role of the State in lifting the economy to a take-off, growth, and steady development of the most important industrial sectors and productions driving the Moroccan economy and providing the highest return and employment as well as contribution in the exports.
While I was a young student at Sciences Po Grenoble in France, where I lived one of the most devastating in my life stories which undermined all the ingredients and opportunities for another Made In Great Britain future of the time but my pride to be an African and to remain so was worth all the losses I endured thereafter like a cascade of magma burning everything in my path. My wounds have never been healed but my African dignity is my eternal strength
I am proud to have always supported Africa wherever I go and this through the Education I received from my Mother and my Father, Rahma Wa Ghofrane for all our parents, Amen

Mon concepts et mes idées avancés dans ce texte méritent un approfondissement de la part des décideurs, des leaders politiques, de responsables de l’Etat, des chercheurs, des académiciens et des chefs d’entreprises au Maroc.
Depuis la fin des années 70 que j’écris et analyse ce phénomène de la transition et de la transformation des économies, en premier le Maroc.
Un an plus tard, j’ai commencé mes recherches sur le développement industriel au Maroc et sur le rôle central de l’État dans l’élévation de l’économie vers un décollage, une croissance et un développement régulier des secteurs industriels et des productions les plus importants qui stimulent l’économie marocaine et offrant le rendement et l’emploi les plus élevés ainsi qu’une contribution aux exportations.
Alors que j’étais jeune étudiant à Sciences Po Grenoble en France, où j’ai vécu l’une des histoires les plus dévastatrices de ma vie qui a miné tous les ingrédients et opportunités pour un autre futur Made In Great Britain de l’époque, mais ma fierté d’être Africain et le rester valait toutes les pertes que j’ai endurées par la suite comme une cascade de magma brûlant tout sur mon passage. Mes blessures n’ont jamais été guéries mais ma dignité africaine est ma force éternelle
Je suis fier d’avoir toujours soutenu l’Afrique partout où je vais et cela à travers l’Éducation que j’ai reçue de ma Mère et de mon Père, Rahma Wa Ghofrane pour tous nos parents, Amen

Here is my modest contribution to advance the discussion and to stimulate the debate about national energy that is “essential and/or detrimental” to any model development and if we are seeking to have our industries to be the hub for the Manufacturing sector located between Europe, North America, Middle and Fareast and our Africa, we need to have a Great Power diversified and plural in its source like in its energetic provision based on national independence of our Energy Policy.
Just for matter of location and extension, China has developed a Solar Farm that can provide power to the entire Country of Sierra Leone.
Voici ma modeste contribution pour faire avancer la discussion et stimuler le débat sur l’énergie nationale « essentielle et/ou préjudiciable » à tout développement de modèle et si nous cherchons à faire de nos industries la plaque tournante du secteur manufacturier situé entre l’Europe , Amérique du Nord, Moyen et Extrême-Orient et notre Afrique, nous avons besoin d’avoir une Grande Puissance diversifiée et plurielle dans sa source ainsi que dans son approvisionnement énergétique basé sur l’indépendance nationale de notre politique énergétique.
Juste pour des questions d’emplacement et d’extension, la Chine a développé une ferme solaire capable de fournir de l’électricité à l’ensemble du pays de la Sierra Leone.
China has just connected what it believes to be the world’s biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. The plant covers an area of 200,000 acres and is reported to have an output of 6.09 billion kWh annually.
The new plant is in the deserts near the region’s capital Ürümqi. The site came online this Monday (June 3) and is being run by the Chinese state-owned Power Construction Corporation, co-owned by the China Africa Development Fund and the Shenzhen Energy Group, with a respective stake of 50% each.

We’re part of @xlinks_uk’s project to build a giant cable between Devon and Morocco, unlocking more reliable, cheap and clean electrons 20 hours a day. “What’ll we do when the wind’s not blowing in the UK?” “Get sunshine from Morocco.”
@xlinks_uk‘s project to build a giant cable between Devon and Morocco.
In Britain, the tiny Devon village of 286 people is linked to MOROCCO by the world’s longest £16 billion submarine cable
The village of Alverdiscott, Devon, is the final destination of the submarine cable project £16 billion marine The village of 286 is linked to a line to Morocco. The scheme will import solar and wind power to power seven million homes by 2030
The Answer my British Friend is Blowing in the Wind !!!
The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project will be a new electricity generation facility entirely powered by solar and wind energy combined with a battery storage facility. Located in Morocco’s renewable energy-rich region of Guelmim Oued Noun, it will be connected exclusively to Great Britain via 3,800km HVDC sub-sea cables.
This “first of a kind” project will generate 10.5GW of zero-carbon electricity from the sun and wind to deliver 3.6GW of reliable energy for an average of 20+ hours a day. This is enough to provide low-cost, clean power to over 7 million British homes by 2030. Once complete, the project will be capable of supplying 8 percent of Great Britain’s electricity needs.
Alongside the consistent output from its solar panels and wind turbines, an onsite 20GWh/5GW battery facility will provide sufficient storage to reliably deliver each and every day, a dedicated, near-constant source of flexible and predictable clean energy for Britain, designed to complement the renewable energy already generated across the UK.
When domestic renewable energy generation in the United Kingdom drops due to low winds and short periods of sun, the project will harvest the benefits of long hours of sun in Morocco alongside the consistency of its convection Trade Winds, to provide a firm but flexible source of zero-carbon electricity.
British renewable energy company Xlinks is the developer of the project which will cover an area of around 579 square miles (1,500 square kilometers) in Morocco. A 10.5 gigawatt (GW) solar and wind farm will be built in the Moroccan region of Guelmim-Oued Noun. The cables will run above ground from the Power Plant until they reach the town of Tantan, where they will run underground.
The laying of the cable will be done with the help of fishing fleets, and the planned route of the cable avoids as many conservation areas as possible. Following a shallow water route from Morocco to the UK, via Spain, Portugal and France, these cables will connect to the UK national grid in Devon.
Clean energy will thus be connected exclusively to the UK via 2,361 miles (3,800 km) and this with high voltage, direct current (HVDC) submarine cables and are used because of their ability to reduce inefficiencies when transporting energy.
This project is part of the drive to achieve a national net-zero electricity grid by 2035. Xlinks says the Morocco-UK electricity project will be able to power 7 million UK homes in by 2030, representing up to 8% of UK energy needs.
The project will cost $21.9 billion. Xlinks will build 7 GW of solar power and 3.5 GW of wind power, as well as 20 GWh/5 GW on-site battery storage, in Morocco. The transmission cable will consist of four cables. The first cable will be active in early 2027 and the other three should be launched in 2029. An agreement has been reached with the National Grid for two 1.8 GW connections at Alverdiscott in Devon.
Update April 21, 2022:
Submarine cable maker XLCC will build a factory in Hunterston, Scotland, and its first production will be for the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project. Alverdiscott in North Devon will provide four 2,361-mile (3,800 km) submarine cables, the first phase between 2025 and 2027 linking wind and solar power generated in Morocco. This initiative will nearly double the current global production of HVDC cable manufacturing. The world’s longest submarine cables will require 90,000 metric tons of steel, and XLCC signed Britain’s Steel Charter in Parliament this week, in which it pledged to use British steel.
Why go all the way to Morocco to get electricity for the UK?
A response made on October 3, 2021, is given by a British news outlet:
At the beginning of October 2021, this project was estimated at 16 billion pounds sterling and aims to circumvent the fundamental problems of British wind and solar energy. Our winds are unpredictable and tend to blow at times of day when electricity demand is lowest. As it is for the British sun, well.
Meanwhile, in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region of Morocco, where the green power will be produced, reliable trade winds blow year-round. Equally practical, the wind speed at the Morocco site increases in the late afternoon and evening, coinciding with peak demand periods in the UK.
The sun in Morocco also shines about 3,500 hours a year. By contrast, Britain averages only 1,500 hours of sunshine per year. And because the sun burns more intensely in North Africa, the solar panels each produce about three times as much electricity there as in the UK, even in winter when British need electricity the most for heating and the light.
The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power project consists of building an inordinate amount of new kits to generate and transport green energy. This means covering 1,500 km2 of Moroccan desert with solar panels, wind turbines and a huge battery storage unit. And copper or aluminum submarine cables, wrapped in polythene insulation, will carry the generated energy to Devon. Four such cables are required, each threaded along a shallow undersea route through Spain, Portugal and France to Alverdiscott.
In the village, two 1.8 GW voltage source converter stations, which look like massive Meccano skeletons, will be built. (1.8 GW is the planned generation capacity for the Norfolk Vanguard wind farm project in the North Sea, which would consist of 180 turbines up to 1,150 feet tall.)
An answer made on April 21, 2022, in a word, the Resilience that is given by the company that is responsible for this project, Xlinks .
Xlinks explains: Morocco benefits from ideal solar and wind resources, necessary to develop renewable projects that could guarantee adequate electricity production throughout the year.

Remote generation and interconnection between distant geographic regions with inversely correlated weather systems will be more effective in addressing supply and demand imbalances over longer periods of time.
Xlinks notes that solar panels generate about three times more electricity in Morocco than in the UK. Additionally, solar panels in Morocco have a higher capacity to generate up to five times more electricity from January to March than those in the UK.
According to its promoters, this project should create nearly 10,000 jobs in Morocco, including 2,000 permanent jobs.

Empowering African Farmers: J-Palm’s Transformative Grant
This title highlights the impact of the $250K USADF grant on empowering smallholder oil palm farmers in Liberia and the positive economic development, which is valuable for search engine optimization.
Africa certainly needs investments, but it also needs self-management and processing of its resources from raw to final products. Emphasizing efforts to combat the historical exploitation of African resources and promote local processing.
Investment in integration upstream and downstream
The journey from palm oil, coffee beans, and cacao farm to a Soap Bar, Coffee Cup, and Chocolate Bar involves intermediaries, making transparency difficult.
The exploitation of natural resources from Africa has a long history, and it extends beyond agricultural products, it includes mining and other natural and human resources.
During colonial times, European powers exploited Africa’s resources, including cacao, rubber, and minerals. The legacy of this exploitation still affects African economies today. The terms of trade have often favored industrialized nations over African producers.
$250K USADF grant and a bar of soap $24.99 – the Price for Pacha and can be only afforded by Pacha the rest of the “dirty hands”, get Palmolive for $99 at 99 Cents Store.
This reminds me of the story of the price of a Starbucks coffee cup sold in New York and the price of Coffee Beans bought by Starbucks in Ethiopia, with the difference between the two in cost, is just Hot water added at the end.
Starbucks is the largest coffee chain worldwide, bringing in annual revenue of $32.3 billion (2022). This revenue has increased to $35 billion as of June 2023.
Starbucks Retail Prices:
When it comes to purchasing coffee beans from Starbucks, there is something for everyone.
Prices vary depending on the type of bean and packaging:
A one-pound bag of Ethiopia coffee retails for $13.95 U.S. [Listed in Starbucks website on 6/3/2024]
Given that Starbucks buys about 800 million pounds of coffee every year, or about 5 percent of the world’s coffee, Burns says, “the potential to positively impact the lives and livelihoods of farmers and their communities is tremendous.
The average cost range for a pound of ground coffee is $8-$20. The average pound of coffee can make roughly 24-46 cups of coffee. That’s an average of just 26 cents per cup! Jan 22, 2024
Yes, indeed, burning the price to less than US$ 0.62 per pound has a real impact on African farmers, of course.
Specific details about Starbucks’ purchase price per pound of coffee in Africa are not disclosed publicly.
Wholesale Price Ranges in South Africa:
In South Africa, the approximate wholesale price range for coffee (both beans and ground) varies:
The disparity between the price of a Starbucks coffee cup in New York and the cost of coffee beans purchased by Starbucks in Ethiopia is a thought-provoking example of value chains and economic dynamics.
All the fuzz of marketing, branding, and other value addition, labor and overhead, packaging, and presentation that Starbucks claims as additional expenses are inclusive and intrinsic to any business operations of the same kind in a competitive environment or not.
While Ethiopia’s Challenge is faced with a well-designed strategic offer of Low Profit for Farmers receiving a small share of the final retail price is exposed globally to supply, demand, and market speculation and has no control over the branding and marketing power that Starbucks enjoys.
This is not just coffee problem of equity, it is the same process of exploitation for other natural products and mineral resources extracted from Africa, Cacao was another example before Africans understood the process of exploitation they were subject to and organized themselves which allowed them to decide by themselves to whom to sell and what conditions and terms they choose, including the pricing.
Like coffee, cacao (the raw material for chocolate) has faced similar challenges. African countries, particularly those in West Africa (such as Ivory Coast and Ghana), are major cacao producers.
However, for decades, the cacao industry has grappled with issues such as child labor, low prices paid to farmers, and lack of transparency in supply chains.
Many African cacao farmers have struggled to earn a fair income despite their essential role in producing chocolate.
Starbucks aims for profitability and Ethiopians aim for survival.
J-Palm Liberia , led by the amazing Mahmud Johnson works to empower smallholder oil palm processors in rural Liberian communities by installing mini-mills in villages, to reduce processing time by 90% and improve palm oil yield by 50-100%.
With the support of a $250K USADF grant, J-Palm expanded its operations, constructing 20 additional palm oil processing sites, and expanding from five villages and 500 farmers to now serve more than 5000 smallholder oil palm farmers in 51 villages. 📈
This has transformed J-Palm’s operations, attracting additional financing and opportunities, including a partnership with Pacha Soap Co., a US-based manufacturer of all-natural soaps. You can now find Pacha Soap bars in Whole Foods Market stores across the U.S., made with J-Palm’s wild harvest palm kernel oil in the soap base! This is further supporting J-Palm’s ability to increase incomes for smallholder farmers and reach more communities in Liberia! 🇱🇷

Investment Attraction: Dr. Cherkaoui contributes to job creation, economic diversification, and overall prosperity by actively encouraging investment in African nations. His commitment to attracting both local and foreign investment can lead to sustainable growth and improved living conditions for African communities.
Trade Enhancement: Facilitating cross-border trade is essential for Africa’s economic resilience. Dr. Cherkaoui’s expertise in this area helps bridge gaps and fosters collaboration.
Empowering Education: Dr. Cherkaoui’s work indirectly supports education by promoting economic growth. As economies thrive, educational opportunities expand.
Empowering young women and men through education is a critical step toward sustainable development.
Poverty Alleviation: Sustainable economic development directly impacts poverty reduction. Dr. Cherkaoui’s efforts contribute to lifting communities out of poverty. By creating an enabling environment for investment and trade, he helps address the root causes of poverty.

His work inspires hope and progress, and his legacy will continue to impact future generations.
Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui, a distinguished figure in international affairs and business strategy, has significantly contributed to discussions on power and energy challenges in Africa. Let’s delve into some of his research and works:
Historical Perspectives on Doing Business in North Western Africa: Dr. Cherkaoui has also explored the historical aspects of doing business in North Western Africa. His analyses provide valuable insights into the region’s economic development, trade, and investment.
LinkedIn Groups and Publications: Dr. Cherkaoui manages several LinkedIn Groups where he publishes thought-provoking content. You can explore his works and engage with his research by joining these groups.
Dr. Cherkaoui’s research sheds light on Ghana’s energy landscape. As Ghana aims to modernize and expand its energy grid, it faces the dual challenge of meeting current demand and anticipating future needs.
Ghana’s energy mix includes hydropower, fossil fuels, and renewable energy sources. Notably, the country combines hydropower with solar power in the same location, serving as a model for other African nations.
This strategic approach can inspire solutions to address recurrent droughts and climate change swings across the continent.
Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui’s commitment to advancing Africa’s economic development and cross-cultural collaboration by attracting investment and increasing trade that can reduce unemployment, and poverty while enhancing the education of young women and men, improving the living conditions of Africa is commendable. His expertise continues to shape discussions on sustainable growth and resilience.
