While Ghana aspires to modernize and expand economic opportunity, it is constrained by a struggling power distribution sector and unreliable electricity for homes and businesses. As a leading trade hub in West Africa, Ghana’s economic success carries global significance.
Ghana, like many African nations, has long grappled with energy access and reliability issues, hindering industrialization in both urban and rural communities. Between late 2012 and 2016, Ghana experienced a severe electricity crisis called ‘Dumsor’.
This crisis was caused by a drought from the Volta Lake that threatened electricity production from the Akosombo Dam, Ghana’s largest energy generating station. The crisis triggered a severe power rationing programme resulting in heavy load shedding throughout the country. At the height of this crisis, consumers faced at least 16-hour power cuts every 24 hours. Henceforth, the country’s power sector has failed to keep up with increasing demand from a growing population of over 31 million people.
Ghana’s energy sector has significant debt. The country’s electricity access rate is 86.63%, with 50% of rural residents and 91% of urban residents connected to the electricity grid.
In 2021, 86.63% of Ghana’s population had access to electricity. This is a 0.86% increase from 2020. 50% of rural residents and 91% of urban residents are connected to the electricity grid. Ghana’s electricity access rate is one of the highest in sub-Saharan Africa. The Bank’s April 2023 Africa’s Pulse Report scored Ghana 81.2%. This was followed by:
Côte D’Ivoire (77%)
Kenya (76%)
Senegal (73.5%)
Nigeria (69.1%)
Rwanda (65%)
Gambia (61%)
Ghana’s installed capacity is around 4,300 MW. In 2018, Ghana’s peak demand exceeded its installed capacity by more than 2,000 MW. Ghana’s main sources of thermal power are natural gas, diesel, and sometimes light crude oil. The country exports power to Benin, Burkina Faso, and Togo.

Ghana’s electricity demand is expected to rise from 21.3 thousand gigawatt hours in 2021 to over 36.5 thousand gigawatt hours in 2030. However, Ghana’s actual availability of electricity rarely exceeds 2,400 MW due to:
Changing hydrological conditions
Inadequate fuel supplies
Dilapidated infrastructure
Ghana’s energy sector is expected to see generation/supply shortfalls of at least:
467MW in 2025
916MW in 2026
Ghana’s power supply sources include:
Hydroelectricity
Thermal fueled by crude oil, natural gas, and diesel
Solar
Imports from La Cote D’Ivoire
Ghana’s energy supply is dominated by thermal generation (68%), followed by hydropower (31%). Gas is the largest source of electricity production, followed by hydropower.
Ghana’s Current Response to the Energy Crisis
Ghana unveiled its $550 billion Energy Transition and Investment Plan (ETIA) at the UN General Assembly on September 21, 2023. The plan aims to achieve net-zero emissions and universal energy access by 2060. It also aims to create 400,000 jobs.
H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghanalaunched the Ghana Energy Transition and Investment Plan on 21 September 2023 during the UN General Assembly.
“This pioneering “Energy Transition and Investment Plan” maps out Ghana’s journey to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 based on the latest data and evidence, ensuring that as our economy thrives, it does so in harmony with the environment.” Declaration of his H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghana.
The Energy Transition and Investment Plan includes:
The Energy Transition and Investment Plan is expected to be the government’s main roadmap for achieving these goals. It will help Ghana achieve net-zero energy-related carbon emissions by deploying low-carbon.
Achieving net-zero emissions
Creating 400,000 jobs
Universal energy access
150 GW of solar PV
Hydropower, biomass, solar energy, and wind energy
To address energy shortfalls, the Ghana government introduced policy interventions in 2019 aimed at boosting the utilization of renewable energy and fulfilling its commitments to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7). The key of these interventions was the Government’s Renewable Energy Master plan, which sought to among others, increase the proportion of renewable energy in the national energy generation mix from 42.5 MW in 2015 to 1,363.63 MW by 2030.
Ghana integrated some renewable energy solutions into its national grid, which also includes a Hydro-Solar Hybrid (HSH) plant at Banda in the Bui enclave. This HSH plant, managed by the Bui Power Authority, has a hydro capacity of 404MW and a solar capacity of 55MW. The plant makes use of Huawei’s Smart Photovoltaic (PV) Solution to fuel the national grid which supports communities, factories, enterprises, and small-scale businesses of over 24,000 locals in the Banda community. Bui Power Authority – BPA supports the Government’s goals of increased renewable energy penetration in the country and its greenhouse gas reduction obligations.

This is the strategy that Morocco should emulate to save energy, to produce clean energy near where it is needed most while protecting the reserve of water from evaporation during sunny days and recuperating the power produced during the night.
Bui Power Authority leads the way for floating solar Installation in the West African Sub-Region
Power Africa worked with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to conduct and review grid impact and stability studies for the project, which is being built in installments of 50 MW to a total of 250 MW. The project generates renewable energy from solar that can operate during the day to complement existing hydropower production. The facility also features a 1 MW floating solar component. Due to increasingly low water levels, especially during the dry season, BPA opted to add a solar element to the existing hydropower plant. This move enables the plant to operate during the day, harnessing the vast solar radiation resource in northern Ghana while giving grid operators more flexibility to run the hydropower plant during the evening.
The most commonly used energy resources are:
Biomass (46.667%)
Oil (40.52%)
Natural gas (10%)
Ghana’s energy strategy is to diversify its energy portfolio and increase the role of renewables.
The government’s Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) aims to increase the country’s renewable energy capacity from 42.5 MW in 2019 to about 1390 MW by 2030.
The REMP is a US$ 5.6 billion investment plan, with more than 80% coming from the private sector. The plan is implemented over a 12-year time-space, from 2019 to 2030.
Ghana’s energy strategy includes:
Ghana’s National Energy Policy focuses on the country’s vast mini hydro potential. Twenty-one micro- and medium-hydro power sites, with generation capacities ranging from 4kW to 325 kW, have already been identified as suitable for power generation.
Renewable energy: Ghana’s goal is to have 10% of its energy come from renewable sources by 2030. This includes adding 520 MW of solar, 325 MW of wind, and 60 MW of hydro from 2022 to 2030.
Net zero emissions: Ghana plans to achieve net zero emissions by 2060 by using six main decarbonizing technologies.
These technologies include:
Small hydro potential: The government’s National Energy Policy focuses on using the country’s small hydro potential. Ghana has 21 micro- and medium-hydro power sites with generation capacities ranging from 4kW to 325 kW.
Energy Sector Recovery Program: The Energy Sector Recovery Program (ESRP) was approved in 2019 to address cost under-recovery in the sector. The program is a five-year plan with 30 reform actions to bring the sector into financial equilibrium by 2023.
Electrification and renewables
Carbon capture and storage
Low-carbon hydrogen
Battery electric vehicle technologies
Clean cooking technologies
Ghana’s energy mix is expected to provide affordable electricity at a generation cost below 4.5 cents/kwh.
Some ways to solve Ghana’s energy crisis include:
Diversifying the electricity generation mix
Expanding the prepaid metering system
Having other independent power distributors
Consulting energy experts and engaging civil society organizations
Producing biofuels from plants like corn and soybeans
Promoting the establishment of dedicated woodlots for wood fuel production
Promoting the production and use of improved cookstoves
Replacing high energy-consuming appliances with energy-efficient refrigerators, air conditioners, fans, and lighting systems
Other possible solutions to the global energy crisis include:
Moving towards renewable resources
Buying energy-efficient products
Lighting controls
Easier grid access
Energy simulation
Performing energy audits
A common stand on climate change
Ghana Actual Energy Supply Chain Management:
According to the International Trade Administration, Ghana’s energy sector currently relies on hydro and thermal generation fueled by crude oil, natural gas, and diesel. Thermal generation accounts for nearly 66% of Ghana’s power generation mix, with hydro accounting for 33%. In total, Ghana’s electric access rate stands at just over 86%, with 91% of urban residents and 50% of rural residents being actively connected to the electricity grid.
Ghana imports energy to secure its supply and promote inter-regional energy trade. Ghana imports natural gas from Nigeria through the West African Gas Pipeline. Ghana also imports petroleum fuel because it has limited oil reserves.
Ghana’s over reliance on fossil fuels makes its energy insecure and threatens its economic growth and development. The country’s power sector cannot meet electricity demand. The Ghanaian government is turning to liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel source.
These are the prevailing conditions of the Energy sector in Ghana and the Government is seeking an exit from such dilemma and challenging energetic deficiencies.
The Energy Commission of Ghana was established in 1997. The commission’s main objectives are to:
Regulate and manage Ghana’s energy resources
Coordinate all energy-related policies
Provide the legal, regulatory, and supervisory framework for all energy providers in the country
Grant licenses for transmission, wholesale, and supply
Advise the government on energy matters
The commission consists of seven commissioners responsible for: Licensing, Renewables, Infrastructure, Efficiency. The Ministry of Energy is responsible for:
Formulating, monitoring, and evaluating energy policies, programs, and projects
Supervising and coordinating the activities of Energy Sector Agencies
Implementing the National Electrification Scheme (NES)
Formulating and implementing laws and policies, such as the Renewable Energy Act of 2011
Foreign investments in Ghana
Kasoa, C/R, Ghana – With the inauguration of the Kasoa Bulk Supply Point (BSP) today, the United States has completed its nearly six-year $316 million investment in Ghana’s energy infrastructure, supporting more reliable power for hundreds of thousands of schools, hospitals, offices, and homes in Ghana. Jun 1, 2022
USD 200,000 for joint ventures with a Ghanaian partner
USD 500,000 for enterprises wholly owned by a non-Ghanaian
USD 1 million for trading companies
Foreign Investments in Ghana’s Energy Sector:
Ghana’s energy sector is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investment. The country has a high potential for solar energy generation and a favorable investment climate for solar energy companies.
Here are some foreign investments in Ghana’s energy sector:
IFCAs of March 2023, IFC’s investment portfolio in Ghana was $446 million in financing and $12.5 million in advisory services.
Ghana’s top investing countries are South Africa, The Netherlands, France, Mauritius, and China.
China is the world’s largest investor in Africa in terms of total capital. In 2020, China’s total stock of foreign direct investments (FDI) in Ghana was around $1.6 billion.
In the first half of 2021, Ghana’s largest investment partners were:
Singapore: $307.50 million
Australia: $204.01 million
India: $61.57 million
The Netherlands: $46.80 million
Some of Ghana’s other major foreign investors include China, The United Kingdom, South Africa, The Netherlands, and Australia. China maintains the highest number of investment projects in Ghana, followed by India, the UK, South Africa, Turkey, Mauritania, and France.
FDI flows in Ghana are mainly directed to the following sectors:
The State Department says that foreign investors have limited market access in the following sectors:
Oil and gas, Services, Trade, Agriculture, Construction, Manufacturing.
Banking, Fishing, Petroleum, Mining, Real estate, Telecommunications.
U.S. Investments in Ghana
Ghana and the United States have a strong economic partnership with bilateral trade reaching $2.7 billion in 2021. Following the success of the first Ghana Compact with MCC, which supported the country’s transport and agricultural sectors, MCC and the Government of Ghana renewed their partnership in 2014 and signed a $316 million Ghana Power Compact. Jun 1, 2022 — United States – The U.S. government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and the Government of Ghana formally completed the 5-year, $316 million MCC – Ghana Power Compact today, celebrating a partnership that created a more effective, sustainable, and inclusive power sector in Ghana.
MCC Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Mahmoud Bah (center), receives a tour of the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point (BSP), which is one of the four power stations built as part of the $316 million MCC-Ghana Power Compact.
This new investment aimed to transform the country’s energy sector by investing in new power infrastructure, advancing energy-efficiency practices, and creating inclusive economic opportunities in the power sector that will support more reliable power for hundreds of thousands of schools, hospitals, offices, and homes in Ghana, including the Kasoa Bulk Supply Point.
Ghana’s government launched an Energy Transition and Investment Plan on September 21, 2023, during the UN General Assembly. The plan is intended to attract investors and the international community to help Ghana transition to energy. The plan is worth $550 billion and represents an opportunity for the international community to invest in Ghana’s sustainable development.
Ghana’s main sources of thermal power are natural gas, diesel, and sometimes light crude oil. The country exports power to Benin, Burkina Faso, and Togo.
Model for the Generation of Electricity in Morocco

Power Africa worked with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to conduct and review grid impact and stability studies for the project, which is being built in installments of 50 MW to a total of 250 MW. The project generates renewable energy from solar that can operate during the day to complement existing hydropower production. The facility, which also features a 1 MW floating solar component, is expected to be completed in 2023.
Mr. Yaw Osafo-Maafo, Senior Minister on behalf of President Akufo-Addo, said, “This project further shows my government’s commitment to deliver on the promise to increase the renewable energy component in our energy mix to 10 percent by 2030.”

Due to increasingly low water levels in Morocco, as is the case in Ghana also especially during the dry season, BPA opted to add a solar element to the existing hydropower plant. This move enables the plant to operate during the day, harnessing the vast solar radiation resource in northern Ghana while giving grid operators more flexibility to run the hydropower plant during the evening.
This novel approach has the potential to be replicated with other utilities not only in Ghana but across the West African sub-region as well as in the entire Africa where similar challenges existed. This approach can lead to more sustainable forms of energy generation.
In line with Ghana’s mission to promote access to reliable, clean, and affordable electricity, Power Africa assisted the Bui Power Authority (BPA) to operationalize the first 50 megawatt (MW) phase of its 250 MW solar-hydro hybrid project. This first 50 MW plant resulted in the doubling of Ghana’s grid-connected solar energy and is expected to cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 47,000 tons per year.

In France, while I was still a student at Sciences Po in Grenoble, I formulated a project on the Development of China and I presented it as the model to be imitated and followed by all these former African colonies which were during the 1970s, shaken by the brutality and sudden oscillations of the international market and the weight of foreign debt.
In 1977, I defended China as the Model of Development for Former Colonized Countries and I have put down the precipice and almost kick-out of the Sciences Politiques of Grenoble I had to fight hard to continue my studies against as we say in French “contre vents et marées de “mesquinerie” and sabotage including racist attacks ” to bring my lost ship to the port of knowledge and know-how.
My research like all the other previous ones was conducted through a projection and a prediction of the effects and manifestations that could be generated down the road and in the future of the countries or sectors that were the topics of my research.
My Presentation on China’s Development Focused on the Nationalist Choices Made by the Chinese Leaders
First, I relegate religion which is used as an impediment to development and I stated with example that Religion is not the cause or a contributor to the burst of violence and acts of terrorism: Religion is used as a reason for anger and revolt against the aspirations of the people to live peacefully.
None of the 3 divine religions – Hachem – God – Allah – tell you to live in misery and go kill the other to steal their life and belongings.
China developed itself because it had leaders who went to watch closely what is Capitalism in the European countries. They observe closely what is in its essence by working in industrial factories and studying closely the capitalist system in its relations to and in production, its impact on the capital-labor interactions, and in regards to the distribution of its most added among the capitalists. They also explore the relationship of the capitalist countries with their colonies, the USSR and China to ensure how is stimulate the growth of this added value.
2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Diligent Work and Frugal Study Association’s program, which sent over 1,500 Chinese students to France over three years just after World War I.
“Lesser emphasized outside of China is that Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong’s enigmatic yet charismatic premier, and minister of foreign affairs, played a pivotal role in the negotiations that led to the rapprochement of relations between the People’s Republic and the United States, was also a student in France. The top echelon of China’s revolutionary military was also represented in the work-study program in France. Chen Yi, one of ten of China’s famed grand marshals, and later mayor of Shanghai, was a student. So was Nie Rongzhen, also a grand marshal. Nie led the State Science and Technology Commission, and as such was instrumental in developing China’s atomic bomb. Li Fuchun became vice premier of China. After his studies in France, like many of his classmates, he went on to further studies in the Soviet Union. He negotiated for Soviet assistance. During the Great Leap Forward, after taking peasants from their farms and putting them in factories, he reversed the process as China went into famine as a result of declining agricultural production.” Source
Even the Leader of Vietnam did the same. Ghandi and Nehru from India also followed this trajectory to understand what British capitalism is. The father of the Modernization of China, Deng Xiaoping’s journey in France as a member of a student program exchange. We can continue the examples with other Leaders
It is in line with this learning and this desire to move the country forward and to direct it towards the construction of an educational framework that meets real needs and respects national conditions for deep local and regional reforms and integration as long as a new nation through a rational strategy and a national industrial model with options for socialism.

Introduction:
France for me is above all during my fifteen years and more spent within its walls, it is above a land of asylum to continue my sporting, artistic, cultural, and academic activities and for that, I remain full of gratitude to the people who helped me make this journey and cross these fields with knowledge. Of course, I experienced a lot of rejection and marginalization but that as they say was part of the territory I covered and I grew up.
If I take a look at what I have experienced, I would say France is high in my vision of this world, it is that of those who were exceptional individuals who were devoted to helping others, to the success of others, and above all a “Stranger” like I was always considered by the others of clandestine and silent France and sometimes angry and stormy by his lack of inner peace and that since the time of the Romans.

The Academic Prize I Paid for Defending China’s Development as a Model for African Economies
Published on September 4, 2015 – French & English Version
1 – CHINA – 2 – CHINA:
1 – The Price I Paid for China’s Development:
I defended the Chinese Model of Development in 1977 against a Representative and a hard RPR (Rally for the Republic – Chiraquian obedience at the time) and perhaps even a camouflaged extreme right who was a lecturer – I should say a little blackmailer of disasters – at the Institute of Political Studies of the University of Grenoble.
This pseudo-instructor tried to blackmail me so that I change my mind, ideological orientation and political direction and to say in front of all the Students that the West and the French Metropolis have all the solutions for the development of nations formerly colonized. Since I was looking for and advocating another model of development that I had identified in China, he wanted me to declare that China was not the example to follow for economic development for Third World countries.
For him, it is the European countries which were the providers of revenue and means for the development of African countries. My choice became for him a personal matter since other African Students were also part of the Seminar in which I anticipated the results of my research project.
My presentation was centered on the logic of forced underdevelopment on our economies and how to break the shackles of Neo-Colonialism and the subjection of our national decisions and strategies to the good wishes and vagaries of the international situation and market supporters. international financial, commercial, and even martial.
I refused and I lost a year but not my vision of the world which turned out to be correct over time.
This “poor guy”, did not appreciate my research work and my presentation in front of all the other Students of the Economics and Finance section at the Institute of Political Studies of Grenoble. It was the last year to obtain the Diploma of the Institute. He completely sacked me, but the Good Lord repaid him for his abuse.
China also became a new State on bases that were effectively supported by Deng Xiaoping (August 22, 1904 – February 19, 1997) whose photo is the one introducing this draft.
I had effectively demonstrated that the Modernization put in place by this seasoned politician, Deng Xiaoping, was bringing about change. I maintained that the corresponding changes would therefore upset the chessboard and the game of the internationalization of capital and the consequent international division of labour. The modification of these two vectors of foreign investment in third countries will no longer be made according to their own operating and exploitation conditions, but China, taking the examples of Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, was going to find a way other than that followed by those countries that had been dubbed the “New Industrial Countries and the Dragons of Asia.”
China was seeking to distance itself from such a product assembly model and to integrate its innovative technology into its industrial fabric, with a high added value per product and operation in each industrial unit. This approach subsequently effectively promoted China’s technological momentum while allowing it to find a place among the economic powers of Asia and the world.
Despite this moron and the obstacle he tried to put in my path of reflection and reference for national development, I continued my journey until I was invited by the Government of China to train their Business Leaders here in Oakland (California) and in China itself and where his photos were taken. Likewise, in the meantime, I had even defended a doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne University on the same subject of economic development and integration into the world market by creating a new theory on Subcapitalism.
In celebration of my Triumph over this gratuitous adversity and over the disdain almost tinged with racism and the Academic Smallness of this master of ideological disaster and Pseudo-Right in Grenoble, and what time much later confirmed my choices and my analyses on national economic development, I offer you this article on China and the display of its forces based on the exploitation of its resources for an authentic need for national development and international affirmation at all levels.
Sciences Po Grenoble in 1977-78: Right-Wing Extremist Fortress and False Progressives

China – Africa 1977: New Model of Development at Sciences Po Grenoble Two Masters of Two Disastrous Conferences at Sciences Po Grenoble A Revengeful Neocolonial Avowed Second Camouflaged from the Left “Progressive” Two Jealous and Repressed of the Knowledge of the Other Maghrebian who has become “Independent” Both came to class smelling of the Wounds of Evil with Advanced Alcoholic Inebriation. One a massacrer of true thinkers coming from another culture, this is his story which is mine and the link of my destiny at Sciences Po Grenoble :
The second Camouflaged from the Left but also A second from the Extreme Right: – Diploma Thesis: State Intervention in Industry: The Case Study of the Textile Industry in Morocco. Sciences Po Grenoble Graduates Eco-Fi Section A Rejected person knowing little about Morocco, landed at Sciences Po Grenoble , rejected from the Sciences Eco Faculty since de Bernis preferred Christian Palloix. Jean Rosio could not find anything better than to join forces with a silent woman who sailed with the wind: Danielle Demoustier. This was during the period when all North Africans were not welcome at Sciences Po Grenoble, especially those who stood up to these evasive left-wing thinkers while their portfolios leaned towards the extreme right.
These two Zombies/Lecturers had fear on their heels from where they got their money, afraid that people would take their distorted ideas and show them that they were usurping their places given the lack of innovation of their knowledge and given that they were stingy in grades and that no Maghreb Revolutionary/s left with superior grades and high honors from this institution of Sciences Po Grenoble , they were the ghost guardians of privileges of the right absent but active through them. I now understand why most foreigners at that time and Moghrebi continued their studies at the Eco Sciences Faculty, the next door where the French True Left resides. For them, it was necessary to get drunk with them to please these lost soul teachers, an active minority of right-wing extremists and “ideological mess thinkers” taking themselves for activists on the barricades, competing with L ‘ PARIS INSTITUTE OF POLITICAL STUDIES – SCIENCES PO as they did not have the necessary juice, they used “left” subterfuges to assert themselves as the continuators of May 68 and the protests of the students and the working class. As I did not consume alcohol, I was always on the sidelines more to the left as a Muslim of their game and their scheme and I was not the only one in this case Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui
For the first killer of true thinkers from another culture, here is his story which is mine that I present to you in this link of my destiny at Sciences Po Grenoble :

The second Camouflaged as Left but also A second from the Far Right:
Sciences Po Grenoble Second Cycle Diploma Eco-Fi Section – Diploma Thesis: State Intervention in Industry: The Case Study of the Textile Industry in Morocco.
As Supervisor: a Rejected who did not know Morocco and who landed at SciencesPo since Gérard Destanne de Bernis had rejected him from the Fac Sciences Eco since Destanne preferred a more gifted person in the person of Christian Palloix.
This rejected named Jean Rosio could not find better than to ally himself with a silent one who went with the wind: Danielle Demoustier.
It was during the period when all Maghrebins were not welcome at SciencesPo Grenoble, especially those who stood up to these elusive left-wing thinkers while their portfolios leaned towards the far right. They were afraid that their deformed ideas or their usurped places would be taken and therefore were so stingy in grades that no Revolutionary North African came out with superior grades and high mentions.
You had to get drunk to please them as I didn’t drink alcohol, I was always on the left side of their game and their scheme and I wasn’t the only one in this case.
My Generation of Students in France was a Generation that knew the Europeans and the French of Morocco very closely, we lived together in Morocco, shared the same emotions, and we rubbed against the same winds and the same tides and waves of the Atlantic than those of common existence. We were neighbors in everything, in the neighborhood, in schools, high schools and parties and dance balls. We practiced the same sports, Tennis, Fencing, Handball, Volleyball, Basketball and even the everyday sports of System D.
Our teachers and our schoolmasters were our models of success, they were our daily mentors and we were full of gratitude and good feelings towards them in the same way as those we nourished towards our compatriots. Judaic Amazighs.
I had the opportunity to grow up and be taught by a class of Europeans born in Morocco in Doukkala who practiced the same popular language with the accent of our Doukkala and could not be differentiated from my uncles from the countryside or of the city of Mazagan – Mriziga – El Jadida and that by Victor Puglisi, Antoine “Nounou” Oulad Baggio, Maurice Ratel, Alain [Allal] Goirin, Carpozen, Dr. Paoletti, Laporte, Perrault, Marco, Ardouin, Petersen, Vidal, Rizzo, Jacquetty, Adigard des Gautries, Gonzalez, Lepine, Tachx, Gicquel, Clegnac, Perez, Salinas, Gimenez, Martinez, Borgia, Laplante, Tibaudet, Marais, Philippe, Riviere, Dr. Ingarao, Dr. Verdier, Manetti,
Defending Africa or Defending an Industrial Development Model in Morocco by taking the example of Great Britain, is to have on our backs the revengeful and the slaughterers Conference / Arena Masters where we were Gladiators fighting for our intellectual survival and our academic rescue. These bludgeoners of novelty and the projection of ideas in the space of reflection and prospection did not want to admit the limit of their own existences as a claimant to the possession of knowledge and could not have the human courage and the individual honesty for and to recognize their dark ignorances.
This drowning in the absolute of ignorance was conveyed by their search to have the upper hand in order to possess this mental comfort of having North African Students still engulfed in the notion of the “Béni Oui Oui” and the followers of the model of neo-colonial metropolitan modernization that feeds their bellies and fills their wallets and does not accept any alternatives or proposals other than those on which they build their pseudo-knowledge and the basis of their knowledge on the repression of new ideas that are binding and competing their decline by novelty and creativity that time and fate could only confirm.
Inside the building of the Institut d’Etudes Politiques SciencesPo de Grenbole, walking along the corridor starting from the entrance facing the Diderot university restaurant of the CROUS and at the back on the right just before the rear exit which leads to the car park and the University Library, on the right were the rooms for the practical work and in one of these rooms the outrage happened to make me repeat the year just for having dared to present and defend the conclusion of my research which is to say that it is China which is and would be the example of economic development that African countries and the rest of the Third World countries should embrace and adopt for their own economic take-off and to adapt Chinese strategies aimed at poverty reduction and stimulation of social progress and this through an orientation of constructive and developmental socialism and this was by no means the first or the last time that I suffered the wrath of the teachers “backward,fascists and racists” who wore progressive and left-wing thinkers just to occupy lucrative positions and not out of ideological or humanist conviction.
It was necessary to overcome these obstacles to reach the higher level of the DEA to finally find and rub shoulders with the true masters of thought and application of socio-human principles such as my research directors and appointed Professors who facilitated the intellectual development, the success of their disciples and their students: Ian Dessau, Yves Barel, Debernis, Freyssinet, Judee, Palloix and others whose ethical spirit and integrity worthy of all and eternal recognition and praise I salute.
The Turn of Wheel of Chinese Destiny as Response to the French Antagonistic against Said El Mansour Cherkaoui
Destiny of Goodness will always be the driving force of the Good Minds and Good Actions in this existence.
My suffering in 1977 and 1978, years later, were rewarded first in 1994 and second in 2003 and 2004 by an invitation by the Government of China to provide consulting and advisory services to the dignitairies, officiels, leaders and business people of State of Yunnan, City of Beijing, including the Vice-Mayor Mr. Liu, the City of Shanghai and the State of Dalian and the State of Guiyang.
In the United States in the mid-1990s, for Chinese dignitaries, executives and officials, I organized their commercial and business visits to the San Francisco Bay Area and provided them with consulting services and training in international business development.
Meanwhile, twenty years ago, a British organization and publisher in London asked me to conduct research on telecommunications and technological development in China.

In this research work, I have highlighted the direct and ambivalent relationship of the pivotal role of the Chinese state in the direct development of technology in China.

Given the way how I treated the members of the Chinese Delegation during their visits in Northern California, they insisted to have me leading the visit of the East Bay Center for International Trade Development in China. The Authorities of China were happy about my visit to China that they surprised me with an event and action I will never forget in all my life. They did not tell me anything and in early the morning, they wake me up and told me to come with them and ask me to dress warmly. They did not ask the other American Individual who was the Director of the East Bay Center for International Trade Development that I brought with me to China.
So, too many unusual cascade of new happenings are facing me here which prompt me to really think and question myself about what was going on here or taking place or where all this going to?
They rush me to a kind of Semi-Jeep – Semi-truck vehicle that we can imagine coming out directly from the ex-soviet union state members which I have seen in Eastern Germany and during the training we had with the Moroccan National and Pre-Olympic Team of Handball in Romania in the early seventies.
Normally since I arrived to China for my transportation, they used limousine or Sedan car. The sight of this kind of Jeep – SUV tank was not really giving me any other answer other that this is going to be a roll coaster ride or some kind of Safari in the East and the Middle of Asian China.
This Willys Jeep reminded me the style of the all heavy-duty metal built Willys Jeep that my father used to own following the departure of the American troops from Morocco. Beside this nice memory, during my time in China,
This Willys Jeep was almost foldable and with my Father, we have crossed many mountains and valleys around the Atlas Mountains with this unbreakable and easy to fix military square jeep.
But knowing the Chinese familiar manners, ways and means of approaches that are natural without too much protocol with hidden agenda; despite the business and consulting relationship, they remind me of the various attitudes and behaviors of the members of my own Berber / Amazigh and Native family and tribe in Morocco, which means, no question asked, you are in good hands, just take easy and go with the flow.
Africa – China: 1977 Grand Prix SciencesPo Grenoble
AFRICAFRICA
This is Africa in my analyses, publications and considerations regarding current events that I share with you and that you can consult and review and go back to my attachment to Africa still Student at SciencesPo Grenoble and having the courage and the desire to predict Africa in its own new forms of expression even if it means being directly threatened with even being expelled from this enclosure of Savoir SciencesPo in Grenoble and I was not the only one in this case, only those who were part of it escaped of the band “Beni Oui Oui” and “Oui Missiou. »
SciencesPo of Grenoble in the seventies was an institution devoid of real research content and militant political direction, it was a box for making money under the table for apprentices – teachers, with the exception of André Uzan, Dominique Valois, Pierre Rondot, and an Accounting Prof who was an expert and also of human greatness and sincere Christian belief that was also beneficial, the rest was a two-faced fabrication.
Preamble for Mr. Andre Uzan
This text was written on November 21, 2023, the day after the discovery of Mr. Andre Uzan’s account on the socio-media platform LinkedIn:
André UZAN 1st degree connection· 1st Former academic. Business creator – Managing creator of “Outilspourdiriger.fr”.
It is one of the greatest honors for me to find you here with mist in my eyes and clarity in my gratitude to you and your kind generosity that I knew up close and thanks to you I was able to continue despite all the pitfalls, the obstacles and the manipulations which have and had hindered our approach towards the acquisition of knowledge and I speak of several of my compatriots and my friends of origin like ours and this even on the part of those and those we believed to be fair, Fair Play who also claimed to be progressive and liberated left-wing thought when it was only an ideological camouflage serving their own egos and personal interests to the detriment of the rest of us who coming from horizons still splashed and tainted by several incompetences.
We wanted to learn to correct these errors of the North and these incompetences of the South, which placed us in a No man’s land zone and you were the most committed to reaching out to us when we came to see you in your office in the middle of the first floor , you were our confidant, our big brother and what’s more, the one who wished us all the best.
I’m talking about 50 years ago and time has only revealed to me the most beautiful gifts I have received in this existence. You taught us statistics and we were the first to receive the Eco-Fi diploma under your patronage and also with the support of an Accounting Professor, Dominique Valois for planning and budgeting, Pierre Rondot for the Middle East and L Islam, and a Great Gentleman who spoke to us about the 3rd Age. A Team of Prophets surrounded us and received us with the Human Respect that we grew up with and around us. Mr. Uzan, you were for us the Lighthouse in the darkness of silent and tasteless recognition and academic prejudice.
After IEP – Institute of Political Studies , I joined IREP – Institute of Economic Research and Development Planning( irep , Grenoble), U internationalization of the automobile industry, where I got my DEA which I I presented after 6 months of research and preparation and this with that of very regretted now, when we cross the world, we only encounter again our past and our memory in the sense of beatitude and gratitude of having known such unique personalities like you in our destiny. I was welcomed by Yves Barel, Ian Dessau, Pierre Judet and Jacques Freyssinet who with Debernis gave us lessons on planned development. The best part is that these thinking heads, like you, knew our past, our culture and our vision of this world through the prisms of North Africa. It was a period of the consecration of pure and honest research through scholars in the field and individuals who deserve the greatest rewards of our future and our recognition.
I can only renew my admiration and my gratitude for your work and your commitment at our side and with us during the incipient moments of knowledge and hesitant knowledge of the other, especially by those who wanted to give themselves as examples then. that we rather seek models of emancipation, identity, progress and the distribution of good for those who have the greatest need. We chose and came to Grenoble to learn the best way to pass the experience of the most educated and conscious to the masses in which we grew up and of whom we become the spokespersons and the link of their understanding of this world with the the intelligence of the other and the understanding of our fellow human beings to transmit to them a valid identity leading to the development of their resources as well as the clarification of their consciences. We were the envoys of a certain feeling and a desire to know, of knowledge to improve the living conditions of those who have not had the chance to cross horizons in the quest for knowledge.
With such a mission, we knew what we wanted to acquire and what we sought to transmit to those absent from this feast of know-how and intelligence. You were one of the niches where this knowledge and this desire to facilitate its transfer resided. On the other hand, when we faced other disruptive elements, we were accused of all the evils and all the manipulations just for the fact, that we knew better than them what we want to know and why and how we seek. precise goals in accordance with our knowledge of our own history which they wanted to teach us while we were born and having grown not only from its cradle but also that we have already compared it to others by our own progress in the consciousness of the world and through the transmission of memories of our antecedents, our ancestors and our precedents in this world.
I arrived in Grenoble not from the depths of the countryside and the depressed oases, I came to Grenoble following the footsteps and imprints of learned memory and noble conscience in thought and action.
Before coming to France following my recruitment by the Basketball Team at ASPTT Montpellier and continuing my studies at the University of Law and Economic Sciences of Montpellier, I had already undertaken a tour of the Western Europe by Auto Stop from my hometown of Mazagan – El Jadida to the north of Holland, crossing Spain from Algiers to Saint Jean de Luz and going back to Paris to reach London and Wembley where Bobby Moore received the World Cup by taking a detour to the Isle of White and heading north from Southampton and Brighton via Motorway 6 to Jacky Charleton’s Town, Manchester, staying in towns in between. Returning to France, I also crossed from Paris-Roubais without the bicycle, nor Anquetil or Guimard and Lille to pass through Antwerp (to avoid passing through Brussels where the signs existed “forbidden to dogs and Arabs” and this to reach Ultrecht in Holland, and go for a walk in Zea-land and all the main cities of Holland up to the North in Groningen. From there, I hitchhiked back to Tangier to take the train and arrive there. Casablanca to reach my birthplace at 24 Rue Jean Bart, Mazagan Morocco, with as a gift for the family, among other things, a Moulinex to make fruit juice.
Likewise, I had already been selected for the Moroccan National Basketball Team and the Pre-Olympic National Team and the Moroccan National A Team in Handball which took us on a training course in Germany and Romania for more than 2 months and this as preparation for the Qualifiers for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games – Africa Zone, the tournament of which took place in Tunis, the Capital of Tunisia.
After obtaining my Baccalaureate during the same year of 1972, I was recruited by the ASPTT of Montpellier as a starting Pivot player of the Basketball Team. At the same time, I was also the Coach of the Cadets of the ASPTT Basketball Team and Captain and Coach of the Handball Team of the Montpellier Academy. The following year I was offered a position as a player by the Munster 08 Handball Team of the Bundesligua / First Division of the German Handball Championship which I joined the following year where I had registered there. preparatory year in the Faculty of Medicine.
In this German academy in Munster, to validate foreign diplomas, the German system required validation through what was called the “Numerus Clausus:
» is a “Latin term that translates to “closed numbers”. It’s a method used to restrict the number of students who can study at a university. »
This approach required grades for courses taken at the Lycée, whereas in Morocco, the Baccalaureate system resulted in the delivery of a well-decorated diploma without any grades for either exams or courses taken during the same year. As the slowness of the educational bureaucracy at the time was at its peak and reached the heights of competence, I was obliged, in order not to lose a year, to turn back towards France by landing in Grenoble where the University was a flagship of economic thought of development and above all had a reputation for tolerance and acceptance of other cultures unparalleled in the rest of France.
Some came and told us that he smelled of alcohol and had a very red face, dark circles and eyes behind thick glasses like the bottom of Coca Cola bottles or those they had just emptied the day before, their appearance and gait dragged on the ground, and once seated it is the cloister for the entire duration of the session. This is how they drowned their sorrows for having become only those responsible for practical work could not become Associate Professors, such as Christian Paloix, Freyssinet, Dessau, Judee, Debernis knew them well and they did not blame them. not in his surroundings. As a result, this guy who revealed himself as a fierce colonialist and Extreme Right and this Jean Rosio who accused me of plagiarism while I conducted research on site in the country of my birth and at the Ministry where worked several of my acquaintances and in addition those who were members of my selections in the Moroccan National Basketball and Handball Teams and this without mentioning that the theme of the Memory that I prepared was part of my research projections that I wanted to begin at the Institute of Development Studies in Brighton, England.
This Jean Rosio, a marginal pushed and pushed towards and outside the Faculty of Economic Sciences and the IREP and the center established by DeBernis, could not integrate into any cell or research center in Grenoble. Jean Rosio was known by the African-Maghrebi Students that he was a “consistent drunkard” and they invited some to hold the bottle for him instead of being a Researcher at the level of the IREP like Christian Palloix who was more apt to place as a beacon of the development of multinationals and countries of the South under the leadership of DeBernis. Jean Rosio presented himself as a red worker but all that was really red about him was the color of Sidi Brahim and other French wines.
Most of the African-Maghrebi Students knew Jean Rosio more than well and therefore came to hide to lick his wounds and his insides and prepare his thesis which lingered more in the corridors than in the research offices in order to be able to go elsewhere. SciencesPo in Grenoble was thus a refuge for the clumsy right-wingers claiming to be left-wingers and for those left-minded who found no escape other than flirting with the Far Right since even the right in power and its compromises with the Left of Caviar and Champagne with red Roses could not trust them given their continual ideological zig-zag and reversal of position according to the color of the bottles and the sky and the bank notes changing from the French Franc where the Franchise remained in fact of account, the amount collected or deposited in the bank account.
Alain Carrignon was the greatest expression of such a slippage and academic evolution metamorphosed between activism and businessism both at the same time eaten away by ideological swings without roots purely committed or deeply cultivated and planted in becoming or improvement of the living conditions of others in Grenoble.
The common denominator of these two scourges of failures was their way of ingratiating themselves with other French students and the administration of the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies, it’s like they say jumping the wall which is the lowest, and this wall was for them us Maghrebi Muslims who do not drink wine and red from where they claim to be a facade and a collage of pseudo-political labels of salons and places of pleasure as well than private enjoyment clubs.
We Sober Maghrebians with a keen awareness of our “ Simple Past ” coupled with our Colonial Historical “ Tattooed Memory ” still refreshed by a Neo-Colonial still before us on a daily basis we were in an early situation, a temporary residence permit, dismal accommodation, minimal scholarships and conditions of acceptance by the rest of society which date from the periods of towns and serfs, we were the new peasants of all the academic and social training of a region or the clashes between the masses workers and the large rentier and capitalist bourgeoisie of Grenoble and its periphery were only controlled by the contribution of labor from North Africa and Turkey – Kurd.
As a result, the “workers” parachuted to Rhone-Poulenc in fact the vast majority were my friends at “Bled” in the town of Mazagan that even General Lyautey had nicknamed “the Moroccan Deauville.” They all claimed to be from the countryside, that they knew neither how to read nor write in order to get hired through the Buro de Blassé – Placement Office in El Jadida. Several if not all were of my acquaintance through sport, studies and frequenting the same places and the same neighborhoods of residence. A whole generation of Moroccan Mazaganais – Jdidis – were thus displaced and planted in the basements of the Rhone-Poulenc Chemical Textile Factory in Echirolles, the industrial suburb of Grenoble and place of residence of the marginalized social classes pushed to outside the central town of Isère. Echirolles where the Harkis, the Portuguese, the Spanish, the Poles and the “travelers”, Manouches and Gypsies resided.
Presentation of Echirolles The commune of Échirolles (36,932 inhabitants in 2019; 786 ha; municipal site) is located just south of Grenoble.
Échirolles would have been named after the Latin scuriolus, “a place inhabited by squirrels”, here referring to wooded hills. Another possible etymology links Échirolles to léchirolle, “place planted with sedges”, here the marshy plain of the Drac river which once covered the entire municipal territory and was then dried up. Another local etymology claims that Échirolles is derived from the Latin “ex Cularo”, “outside Grenoble”. In the 13th century, the Templars established a commandery in Échirolles; they cleared and drained the district, so that Échirolles extended well beyond the hills where it was already founded. Created as a parish in 1825 by separation from Bresson, Échirolles obtained the status of commune on December 25, 1833. In 1926, the Société Nationale de la Viscose built an artificial silk factory, completed in 1927 by a workers’ housing estate, which accelerated the urban development of the town. Count Hilaire de Chardonnet (1836-1924) invented the first artificial silk thread, made from wood pulp. In 1925, Louis Chatin and Edmond Bizot founded the Société Nationale de la Viscose (SNV) for the industrial production of viscose yarn. The first rayon thread was produced at the Échirolles factory on May 7, 1927. The factory soon hired up to 1,000 workers, half of whom were women. The working environment was so harsh that most local workers refused to work there, being replaced by immigrant workers, who soon made up 90% of the workforce. The SNV was taken over in 1951 by the French Viscose Company, in 1956 by the Industrial Company of Artificial and Synthetic Textiles, and finally, in 1971, by Rhône-Poulenc. The factory was finally closed on March 2, 1989, in memory of the Viscose Museum inaugurated in 1992 (website). Source: Ivan Sache, September 17, 202
Myself and this youth in full effervescence transformed into a chemical labor mass disembarked from our “Bled” Fortaleza Mazagao the first European city built on the coast of the Atlantic by the Europeans in this case the Portuguese and which moved to the other coast of the Atlantic to locate in the Para of the Amazon like Velha and Nova Mazagao. The relief of Fortalez Mazagao remained abandoned for a certain time given the destruction caused by the Portuguese during their evacuation which had blown up a large part of the fortified city, annihilating a large part of the first arrivals on the ramparts while the Portuguese fleet was offshore. A mistake and a betrayal of the peace evacuation agreement signed by the King of Morocco and the Captain of the Portuguese Garrison. Such a feat of arms condemned the city for quite a long time with its hurtful, disturbing and “betraying” memories.
Later, when the wounds were camouflaged by time and the need to open the maritime doors of Morocco to the invading trade of Europeans henceforth flooding Africa after the end of the slave trade and its abolition as well as the independence of the countries of North and South America. In these new conditions, the countries emerging from Europe and the United States, stimulated by British liberalism and also wanting to compete with it on its own overseas maritime bases, needed to transform their direct warlike relations and conquest through the installation of trading posts and construction of ports all along the coasts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Thus, Fortaleza Mazagan already present and located on European maps, the King of Morocco decided to give it a new chance and integrate it into the new circuit of commercial relations which were largely routed through Tangier, the city at the northern tip. and the nearest part of Spain and the cities under Spanish rule, Ceuta and Mellila. Thus, Fortaleza Mazagao became El Jadida, the News which, under the impetus of the presence of the consuls of the main European countries and the United States of America, was urbanized as a replica of Moroccan Deauville, a summer town with a Casino and modern buildings from the “Belle Epoque” period and most of our parents were closely or indirectly involved in international trade since Mazagan had more foreign consulates and representatives of commercial interests from the United States, United Kingdom , France, Spain and other countries, more than the capital of Morocco itself. This presence had at the same time given rise to a cultural effervescence without rival in all other Moroccan cities with the creation of the first postal service and the first post office in all of Morocco, a party hall and a municipal theater, a theater troupe, casinos. , cinemas, clubs for practicing football, basketball, handball, volleyball, sailing, rowing and water polo and swimming, fencing, judo, dance and ballet, tennis, a pétanque club, and cinema libraries, a horse racing racetrack, a car, motorcycle, bicycle racing circuit and cultural clubs and sporting activities of all individual and athletic categories. teams, including equestrian sports.
I myself was a starter in the Basketball, Handball, Football, Volleyball and Fencing teams while being a member of the Moroccan National Civilian A and Pre-Olympic Team in Handball and Selected in the Team National School and University Men’s Basketball Team, and the Men’s National A Basketball Team. This without adding that before arriving at the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies, I was already a member of the ASPTT Montpellier Baskeball Team which had recruited me from Morocco through Badredinne Hachad. At the same time, I was also Captain and coach of the University Team of the Montpellier Academy Handball Section. Subsequently, I was also recruited by the First Division Handball Team Munster O8 of the Handball Bundesliga – First Division in the German Championship.
All this sporting, social and cultural past I had realized before arriving in Montpellier first, in Munster and in Grenoble where these Pseudo-Teacher Rogues did not even know a petal of everything that I describe above as background cultural, social, economic and human in which I had formed my vision of the world and with the world and its diverse peoples.
These left-wing evaders, mistreated by their own individual excesses and deviations, remained adrift and massacred us to silence us because we know better than them and we make them understand and therefore they found no other weapon to try to Watching us that the final grade at the end of the university year was their petty and treacherous revenge.
This category of madmen I called them the Chameleons, and also the razor blade cutting left and right with sharper right ends to sacrifice all those who came from North Africa and a Muslim country. Several of my contemporaries had to abandon their studies at SciencesPo Grenoble given all the ramparts and obstacles invisible to the naked eye but disastrous and almost insurmountable for the construction of an intellectual path and the construction of an academic vision of research.
undermined by fascists invisible in broad daylight but morbid once their occult and hidden designs are shaken by concepts and beliefs stronger in the Darkness as in the clarity of thought since it conveys an irremediable movement of change for the best of Africans. I took this movement and I defended it in 1977 within the agora of Grenoble and I lost more than one year of studies, I lost a transfer to the Institute of Studies on the Development in Brighton and other peripheral advantages.

To my African Sisters and Brothers
Those who have not lived face to face with the anti-African reality to realize at their own level how it could completely ruin their lives. Hoping that my story can help them open their eyes wider While I was a young student at Sciences Po Grenoble I describe it in previous link which will allow you to read my story which undermined all the ingredients and opportunities of another future Made In Great Britain of the time but my pride in being an African and remaining one was worth all the losses that I subsequently endured like a waterfall of magma burning everything in my path. … Read more
Despite all these losses and these low blows received, I stayed the course and I kept my African dignity very great and fully fulfilled in my thoughts and in my action and nothing can take away this reason for my being. conscience and my mind beyond all other considerations. Time rewarded me in my rectitude and my desire to remain anchored in our Mother and Sister Africa, our eternal home.
So be it, in France, while I was still a student at Sciences Po in Grenoble, I formulated a project on the Development of China and I presented it as the model to imitate and follow by all these former African colonies which were shaken during the 1970s by the brutality and sudden oscillations of the international market and the weight of external debt. In the United States, in the mid-1990s, for Chinese dignitaries, executives and officials, I organized their trade and business visits to the San Francisco Bay Area and provided them with consulting and consulting services. training on international business development.
During this time, twenty years ago, a British organization and publishing house in London asked me to conduct research on telecommunications and technological development in China.
In this research work, I highlighted the direct and ambivalent relationship of the pivotal role of the Chinese State in the direct development of technology in China.
My research, like all the others that I had conducted, was directed through a projection and prediction of the effects and manifestations that could subsequently be generated and in the future of the countries or sectors which were the subjects concerned by my research.
During this period, I worked as Director of International Affairs at Sprint Corp. and as co-chair of the international committee of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce where I had the opportunity to facilitate the visit of the vice-mayor of Beijing and a delegation of Chinese executives from Yunnan. At the same time, I taught curriculum and courses on telecommunications, digital security, and national technology development at the School of Technology at Golden Gate University in San Francisco. All these implications and interests on China and seeing that as a senior consultant with the Center for International Trade Development in Oakland and Berkeley, I was invited by the Chinese government and the provincial government of Guizhou who granted me the best of the best treatment I have ever received from any entity in this world. In fact, I am still redeveloping the same research topic on China’s technological development and intend to publish my entire work in book form. In the meantime, I offer you a glimpse of my interests in Chinese technological advances in the form of the first pages of my work published in London.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have an interest in the corresponding topics.

Merci beaucoup cher 🌎 Said Cherkaoui 🌍. Pour les entreprises de Dakhla, il faut un véritable plan de transition énergétique, et non des audits énergétiques sans lendemain. Au fait mes déplacements à Dakhla était d’imaginer le moyen d’avoir de l’hydrogène GRATUIT pour le Maroc, en concevant des grands projet WIN WIN avec de grands développeurs que j’ai rencontré à Dakhla, (un investisseur en MM$ attend l’autorisation du mat de mesures depuis un an) ! Pour une production de 50 MTH2/an, les droit de 20% pour le Maroc, plus de 10 MTH2/an va permettre de decarboner toute l’électricité marocaine. Comme c gratuit pour le Maroc, ça n’intéresse personne.
Dakhla Métropole polycentrique et Modèle de Développement au Maroc
Cet écrit trouve sa raison d’être dans l’esprit et la volonté de faire avancer et partager la réflexion et les visions concernant le développement authentique et l’intégration nationale dans une perspective de responsabilité partagée avec nos provinces sahariennes et pas seulement comme une inclusion régionaliste désintégrée.
Nos régions du sud doivent être projetées sur la vision du Maroc d’aujourd’hui comme racines du Maroc au niveau historique, comme semences pour la réalisation de la culture de l’intégrité territoriale et nationale et comme les pieds du corps marocain pour sa marche sur le chemin de la réunification finale et ses démarches pour l’aboutissement du progrès social, pour la construction de sa destination du développement économique régional et la mise en place de sa demeure structurelle de l’autosuffisance nationale couplés et renforcés par la durabilité de l’efficacité opérationnelle et la consolidation de productions locales à valeur ajoutée innovantes et hautement compétitives sur le marché international.
L’économie mondiale est passée d’une économie « juste à temps » à une économie « juste au cas où » vu les perturbations de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. Le Maroc doit de toute urgence s’adapter à cette nouvelle réalité
Le Maroc peut se targuer d’avoir des travailleurs qualifiés et des talents à moindre coût pour attirer les investisseurs étrangers et qu’ils vont participer au processus de décollage, un rêve éternel
Les incitations offertes par le Maroc et une main-d’œuvre bon marché ne sont pas des moyens valables pour atteindre un développement
Les pays occidentaux développent des produits d’intelligence artificielle et le Maroc doit encourager les entreprises locales à adopter l’automatisation ainsi que les mises à niveau technologiques
En termes de développement durable régional, le Maroc doit d’abord prendre en considération le concept ESG – Environnemental, Social, Gouvernance – comme une opportunité d’améliorer ses pratiques juridiques et commerciales
Le Maroc doit entreprendre une nouvelle définition et évaluation du développement, de la croissance et du progrès.
Une commission spéciale mandatée par le roi du Mohammed VI après le Hirak du Rif a présenté plusieurs pistes de réformes au bout d’une longue réflexion qui a associé toutes les composantes de la société marocaine. Inclusion économique, protection sociale, “enseignement efficace”, service de santé “de qualité”, “équité fiscale”, “justice efficiente et intègre”, “renforcement des libertés individuelles et publiques”, le Maroc cherche un nouveau modèle de développement, en mesure de répondre à la “crise de confiance” de la population vis-à-vis de ses institutions.
“Le changement est impératif et nécessaire”, a déclaré l’ancien ministre de l’Intérieur Chakib Benmoussa, le président de cette commission de 35 membres, en présentant le rapport le 26 mai 2021 à Rabat.
A travers la lecture de cette introduction et la narration existante dans cette vidéo, on ne trouve nulle trace de ce que Dakhla ou les autres centres urbains peuvent acquérir comme responsabilité directe dans la mise en place et la conduite ainsi que la réalisation d’une stratégie de développement multipolaire non seulement inclusive des régions mais surtout basée sur un ancrage des politiques économiques de développement ayant comme contenu et comme but:
Métropolisation Polycentrique de l’Aménagement du Territoire et Synchronisation des Rouages Régionaux Productifs pour un Développement National Homogénéisé
Le Modèle de Développement soumis au Roi du Maroc avait omis de mentionner ce que je propose ci-dessous:
Régionalisation Et Urbanisation Au Maroc: Dakhla
L’économie mondiale est passée d’une économie « juste à temps » à une économie « juste au cas où » vu les perturbations de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. Le Maroc doit de toute urgence s’adapter à cette nouvelle réalité
Le Maroc peut se targuer d’avoir des travailleurs qualifiés et des talents à moindre coût pour attirer les investisseurs étrangers alors que ces financiers – chasseurs de primes ne respectent aucune notion de frontière et leurs actions ne répondent pas non plus aux besoins d’un espace économique. Leurs objectifs sont guidés par leurs propres calculs du profit.
Le Maroc devrait modifier sa croyance “sympathique qui frôle la naïveté” que ces compagnies transnationales et ces investisseurs globaux vont participer au processus de décollage, qu’ils vont favoriser le transfert du savoir-faire et technologique non pas seulement pour le bénéfice du secteur investi et mais qu’ils allaient se transformer en un des moteurs de progrès et de croissance de l’économie marocaine. Tout cela demeure un rêve éternel et une traduction de “Waiting for Sidna Kder – Godot.”
Les incitations offertes par le Maroc accompagnées de la disponibilité d’une main-d’œuvre bon marché ne sont paslus des moyens valables pour atteindre un développement.
Si c’est le cas, on n’aurait pas ces fusillades au Mexique pour appréhender le fils de “Chapo” vu que le Programme des Maquiladoras avait été lancé et dénommé Bracero depuis 1964 et après toutes ces années, le Mexique n’est pas encore sorti du moulin du chômage et de la pauvreté et du statut d’économie subcapitaliste.
De nos jours, le Maroc doit encourager les entreprises locales, régionales et celles localisées dans les provinces sahariennes à adopter l’automatisation ainsi que les mises à niveau technologiques. En somme, prévenir vaut mieux que guérir, vu que les pays occidentaux développent des produits d’intelligence artificielle, combinant la logistique avec la robotique pour affirmer le contrôle des procédés de fabrication en termes d’ajustement sur la demande présente, prospective et potentielle. Des technologies mises en service afin d’éviter un surplus de main-d’oeuvre provoquant un bottleneck, une baisse de la productivité et une neutralisation de l’efficience opérationnelle, créant ainsi des détournements financiers qui devraient cibler l’accroissement du taux de profit et la réductions des coûts de production, surtout au niveau des coûts salariaux.
Pour ces raisons, en termes de développement durable régional, le Maroc doit d’abord prendre en considération le concept ESG – Environnemental, Social, Gouvernance – comme une opportunité d’améliorer ses pratiques juridiques et commerciales
Le Maroc doit entreprendre une nouvelle définition et réévaluation du développement, de la croissance et du progrès a travers de nouveaux prismes et de plus défiant objectifs et ne pas se contenter de prendre en compte les recommandations des organismes internationaux qui ne sont en définitive qu’une traduction des besoins de leurs respectives compagnies et leurs propres intérêts prospectant des opportunités rentables pour leurs propres projections d’investissements directs et indirects.
Le sort du décollage et le destin développementaliste du Maroc ne s’accroches pas a une seule opportunité de poses dans une photo souvenir.
Il faut dépasser de loin les apparences et les apparitions médiatiques et aller au delà des slogans de marketing qui chansonnent plus vite que la musique.
Le vrai travail de construction et de progrès se fait dans le silence et dans l’ombre de l’humilité et ses réalisations seront au grand jour ses portes-paroles et ses expressions irréfutables.
Constitution de plusieurs centres dans un territoire dépendant au départ d’un centre unique ou prépondérant. Dakhla devrait être transformée en une métropole polycentrique du Sahara Marocain doublée d’un Hub pour les dessertes entre les capitales européennes et les capitales des pays africains.
Cette approche régionale serait un conduit de l’Aménagement du territoire marocain basé sur la notion de l’Unité institutionnelle dans la Diversité régionale, économique et sociale doublée d’une complémentarité de synergie productive et opérationnelle para-nationale.
Dakhla serait donc une plaque tournante de correspondance et de transfert comme liaison aérienne et maritime ainsi que ferroviaire créant ainsi une infrastructure modale logistique intégrée avec des modales de transport et d’acheminement de personnes et de biens, consolidant ainsi les liens entre l’intégrité territoriale nationale et l’intégration territoriale du Maroc dans les flux d’échanges entre les grands centres des continents d’Europe et d’Afrique. Cette approche est fondée quasiment sur la densité : c’est le cas des indices de centralité standardisés qui peuvent être déclinés à plusieurs échelles – locale ou globale – et par secteurs d’activités (Guérois, Le Goix 2000 ; Huriot & al. 2003).
Au sein du territoire marocain , Dakhla servirait aussi de modèle pour une hiérarchisation des centres intra-métropolitainset leurs relations respectives avec les autres centres en Europe et en Afrique
L’Intégration économique, sociale, culturelle, humaine et territoriale de l’Afrique nécessite la construction d’un système urbain polycentrique et une configuration nouvelle de centres urbains comme créneau-maillon dans le système de communication, opération, production, approvisionnement et distribution établissant ainsi des complémentarités fonctionnelles. Cette synergie urbaine est projetée au niveau national et régional qui ne peut que positionner Dakhla comme un des centres intégrés dans la promotion du polycentrisme a l’échelle de la façade atlantique renforçant ainsi son rôle de liaison et de carrefour pour le prochain gazoduc reliant le Nigeria a l’Europe
C’est une telle centralité de Dakhla qui pourrait insuffler un processus d’industrialisation stimulant une spécialisation économique et un ratio emploi / population active favorable à la formation et l’attraction de main-d’oeuvre qualifiée pouvant ainsi imbriquer et harmoniser la mise en place de créneaux porteurs de croissance industrielle a travers une synergie entre les rouages économiques, financiers et culturels fonctionnant dans les autres régions du Maroc. Cette imbrication faciliterait l’établissement d’une plateforme dotée d’infrastructures interchangeables, d’unités opérationnelles, de niches complémentaires dans le sens polycentrique.
Afin d’éviter l’émergence de pôles « monocentré » et une croissance d’activités monocentriques, une cohésion régionale et interrégionale serait guidée par une motivation et une approche favorisant l’innovation, la Recherche et le Développement, la création effective d’emploi productif de préférence centrée sur l’Engineering et la génie mécanique et les secteurs industriels qui peuvent réduire la dépendance du Maroc à l’égard de l’importation d’appareils, de machines, d’outillage et d’équipement plus performant et innovateurs nécessaire aux opérations productives des usines, des industries et des productions technologiques avancées.
Le Maroc devrait ainsi posséder les capacités de définir et de façonner ainsi que produire en fonction de ses propres besoins de développement tous les équipements nécessaires à la matérialisation des étapes intermédiaires de son progrès industriel.
Une répartition synchronisée entre les aires d’influence au niveau productif et dans la promotion de la région comme un rouage indispensable dans le fonctionnement, la productivité et le renouvellement des conditions et des ressources nécessaires pouvant animer la croissance de pôles de spécialisation économique répondant aux défis nationaux, à la construction de la zone de libre-échange en Afrique et à la compétitivité internationale.
La conception finale du port atlantique de Dakhla, qui sera construit profondément dans la mer pour permettre aux grands navires d’accéder et d’accoster, et sera relié à un pont terrestre de haut niveau. L’immense port, dont le lancement a commencé sous la supervision directe de Sa Majesté le Roi Mohammed VI, sera dédié à faciliter la circulation et la navigation des marchandises, à stimuler les exportations vers l’Afrique, à encourager l’industrialisation des provinces du sud du Royaume et à apporter des capitaux et des investissements, en plus de suivre les projets lancés dans un certain nombre de villes désertiques marocaines.

Our southern regions must be projected on the vision of Morocco Today as the roots of Morocco at the historical level and as seeds for the realization of the culture of territorial and national integrity as well as the pillars and feet of the Moroccan body for its march on the path of final reunification and its steps toward the achievement of social progress, leading to the construction of regional economic development.
This achievement of economic competitiveness is another crossing destination leading to the establishment of its local structures favorable to a national self-sufficiency coupled and reinforced by the sustainability of operational efficiency and the consolidation of innovative and high value-added local productions and highly competitive offerings in the international market.

Le Maroc dessine sa vision d’un “nouveau modèle de développement”
La commission mandatée par le roi Mohammed VI, pour répondre “à la crise de confiance” révélée par les émeutes du Rif de 2017, vient de rendre sa copie. A special commission appointed by the King of Mohammed VI after the Hirak du Rif presented several avenues for reform after a long reflection that involved all the components of Moroccan society. Read more details atMorocco outlines its vision of a “new development model
Economic inclusion, social protection, “effective education”, “quality” health service, “tax fairness”, “efficient and honest justice”, and “strengthening of individual and public freedoms”, Morocco is looking for a new development model, to be able to respond to the “crisis of confidence” of the population vis-à-vis its institutions.
Through the reading of this introduction and the existing narration in this video, we find no trace of what Dakhla or the other urban centers can acquire as direct responsibility in the establishment and the conduct as well as the realization of a strategy. of multipolar development not only inclusive of the regions but above all based on the anchoring of economic development policies having as content and as a goal:
Polycentric “Metropolization” of Spatial Planning and Synchronization of Regional Productive Units for Homogenized National Development
The Development Model submitted to the King of Morocco failed to mention what I am proposing below:
Establishment of several centers in a dependent territory from a single or dominant center– Dakhla should be transformed into a polycentric metropolis of the Moroccan Sahara coupled with a Hub for services between European capitals and the capitals of African countries.
This regional approach would be a conduit for Moroccan spatial planning based on the notion of institutional unity in regional, economic, and social diversity, coupled with a complementarity of productive and operational para-national synergy.
Dakhla would therefore be a hub of correspondence and transfer as an air and sea link as well as rail, thus creating an integrated logistics modal infrastructure with modes of transport and delivery of people and goods, thus consolidating the links between territorial integrity national and territorial integration of Morocco in trade flows between the major centers of the continents of Europe and Africa. This approach is based almost on density: this is the case with standardized centrality indices which can be broken down at several scales – local or global – and by sector of activity (Guérois, Le Goix 2000; Huriot & al. 2003).

The coastline in the development of Morocco and its Atlantic policy
Le littoral dans le développement du Maroc et de sa politique atlantique
Morocco has been making significant strides in developing its southern provinces and Dakhla as a new development cluster. Here are some key points:
Development of Southern Provinces and Dakhla:
Dakhla, located in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region of Morocco, is being developed as a major economic hub with a focus on several key industries:
The Moroccan government has launched the ‘Dakhla Atlantic Port’ project, a flagship megaproject operating within the development model for Morocco’s southern provinces.
The port is expected to support various sectors including fisheries, agriculture, mining, energy, tourism, trade, and industry.
Fishing: Dakhla has a rich fishing industry, and the development of the Dakhla Atlantic Port is expected to boost this sector further. The port has an industrial zone of 270 ha, of which 20% is developed for processing industries, storage areas, administrative areas, and a free export zone.
Tourism: The region’s unique geography and cultural heritage make it an attractive tourist destination.
Energy: Dakhla is at the forefront of Morocco’s green energy initiatives. TAQA Morocco, majority-owned by the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, has announced plans to invest $27.2 billion in a green hydrogen project in the Dakhla-Oued El-Dahab region. The project will generate 6,000 MW of renewable energy, which will be used to produce and export green hydrogen to meet global demand for
The ‘Tiznit-Dakhla’ expressway project is also underway, which will promote new economic networks spanning from central Morocco to Dakhla.
The Moroccan government aims to turn the country’s southern provinces into an engine of development at the regional and continental levels.
Maritime Facade for Sub-Saharan Countries of the Sahel:
The Moroccan King’s Initiative aims to grant Sahel countries access to the Atlantic Ocean3. This initiative is seen as a strategic turning point for these countries.
The initiative aims to integrate the Sahel into global trade networks by utilizing Morocco’s road, port, and rail infrastructures.
Four landlocked countries in the Sahel have welcomed this initiative, which requires investments in infrastructure and a co-development approach.
These initiatives and projects demonstrate Morocco’s commitment to developing its southern provinces and Dakhla, serving as a maritime facade for the Sub-Saharan Countries of the Sahel, and building infrastructure to facilitate logistics and trade exchange. However, these are large-scale projects that require significant investment and time to fully realize. It’s also important to note that the success of these initiatives depends on various factors, including regional stability, international cooperation, and sustainable development practices.
Within Moroccan territory, Dakhla would also serve as a model for a hierarchy of intra-metropolitan centers and their respective relations with other centers in Europe and Africa.
It is such a centrality of Dakhla that could instill an industrialization process stimulating economic specialization and an employment / active population ratio favorable to the training and the attraction of qualified labor, thus being able to interweave and harmonize the implementation. place of niche markets for industrial growth through a synergy between the economic, financial, and cultural cogs operating in the other regions of Morocco. This interweaving would facilitate the establishment of a platform endowed with interchangeable infrastructures, operational units, and complementary niches in the polycentric sense.
To avoid the emergence of “single-center” poles and the growth of single-center activities, regional and interregional cohesion would be guided by motivation and an approach favoring innovation, Research and Development, and effective job creation. productive preferably centered on Engineering and mechanical engineering and industrial sectors that can reduce Morocco’s dependence on the import of more efficient and innovative devices, machines, tools, and equipment necessary to the productive operations of factories, industries, and advanced technological productions.
Morocco should thus have the capacity to define and shape as well as produce according to its development needs all the equipment necessary for the materialization of the intermediate stages of its industrial progress.
A synchronized distribution between the areas of influence at the productive level and in the promotion of the region as an essential cog in the functioning, the productivity, and the renewal of the necessary conditions and resources that can stimulate the growth of poles of economic specialization responding to the challenges countries, the construction of the free trade area in Africa and international competitiveness.
