Ghana aspires to modernize and expand its energy grid and productivity to respond to current demand and anticipate future needs for developing new industries and increasing electrical consumption from its growing population of more than 30 million. Ghana responded to these exigences by conducting reviews and trials of new forms of energy combination between the traditional sources from hydro with renewable forms of electricity. Ghana’s energy mix includes hydropower, fossil fuels, and renewable energy sources while pondering nuclear energy as the next step and source of supply.
This strategy of combining hydropower with solar power in the same spot and the same space is relevant to many African countries. The Ghana planned approach can serve as a model in which West African countries and even Morocco can find sources of inspiration and examples to build solutions in the face of the recurrent drought and climate change swings and be able to generate dual-based renewable energy from hydro and solar powers.

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 within every 24-hour period. 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 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 Ghana
“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.
Banda in the Bui Enclave –
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, and 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.

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.

Les Start-ups Africaines Assiste-t-elles à un Dégel des Investissements ?
Email: saidcherkaoui@triconsultingkyoto.com
Au cours des trois derniers mois, les start-ups africaines ont levé près de 600 millions de dollars (environ 537 millions d’euros) et ce troisième trimestre de 2024 marque un record pour l’année en cours.
Un signe et un montant qui s’apparentent à un début de reprise des levées de fonds dans le monde de la tech du continent. Supérieurs de 100 millions de dollars à ceux de la même période l’an dernier, ces chiffres confirment la correction du marché, après les envolées de 2021 et 2022. En tout, ce sont 44 start-ups qui ont levé des sommes égales ou supérieures à 1 million de dollars entre juillet et septembre.
2024, pas une année record. Si ces chiffres sont encourageants, car il montre un début de tendance haussière, ils ne permettront cependant pas de réaliser de progrès notables par rapport à l’année dernière :
Les levées de fonds de 2024 ne vont pas dépasser les 2,9 milliards de dollars de 2023.
Et, donc, de dépasser les très bons chiffres de 2022, qui avait vu les start-ups africaines parvenir à lever 4,6 milliards de dollars. « Pour la première fois depuis la mi-2022, les start-ups ont levé plus de fonds au cours des quatre derniers trimestres qu’au cours de la période précédente. Si la croissance est modeste, on peut espérer qu’elle constitue un premier signe avant-coureur de la croissance future de l’écosystème », précise à JA Max Cuvellier Giacomelli, co-fondateur de la plateforme Africa.

For the last 3 years, we have written about reports stating fraud from the time when it was listed as an entity on the New Times Stock Exchange (NYSE). These among other things were considered false claims and presentations as well as manipulations of the amounts of deliveries, the amount of returns, and the amount of sales even encompassing, Jumia’s daily operations in the streets of the African cities crossed by the motorcycles of independent delivery staff that Jumia called “Consultants.” Jumia has not been able to quell this mismanagement at every level of its own internal and external organizational structure.
Jumia has also presented its identity as an African company which in reality turned out to be a German Baby Trying to look and behave as African. The departure of the top African Leaders and their replacement by European-based leaders had increased the dichotomy existing between the claims and the reality of the leadership as well as the role of Jumia within African communities.
Apparent efforts were made by the Jumia communication Department to bridge the gap by developing actions that were promoted as contributions to the local communities, including the distribution of masks during the Covid-19 and the recent agreement with Star Link to expand the outreach of the internet in rural areas [Jumia: Rural areas a critical segment within our addressable market (CNBC Africa – December 5, 2023)].
Such coverage is not philanthropic given that the next alternative strategy pursued by the new CEO is that one of the targets for the expansion of sales by Jumia. The unserviced rural areas are the next move, the next “El Dorado” and the substitute for the crowded competition existing in the African cities and urban areas. This is the new plan in Nigeria which is considered actually as the prime market for Jumia.

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
★ Strategic Catalyst Driving USA-Africa and Morocco Investment, Trade, and Business Development ★ Policy Adviser in International Affairs ★ Accomplished Public Speaker ★ Distinguished News Editor ★1y Edited
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 :
Prize for the Defense of the Chinese Development Model at SciencesPo de Grenoble March 5, 2023 Said El Mansour Cherkaoui https://lnkd.in/gMusUuun
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.
Said E. Cherkaoui Research on China Technology and Mobile Communication Published in London, Great Britain – August 2001
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.
Mao Tse Tung: You are Complete Man when you Stand on this Wall
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.

(Thanks Association for Project Management for bringing it to my attention. FYI I have no links to this project.) – British company Xlinks is planning a project in Morocco to develop a 10.5GW solar farm, a 20GWh battery storage system and a 3.6GW high‑voltage direct current interconnector to carry electricity to the UK (and a massive windfarm). – That requires four 3,800km-long cables! – The scale of the Xlinks project is overwhelming – and could provide nearly 10% of UK electricity needs (c.7 million homes). – The full £18bn proposal would take up 1,500 sq km of Moroccan desert. That’s about the size of Greater London. – From Morocco to the UK, the cables will be crossing 68 other cables and then go 15km inland to the conversion site in Devon.
So, how do you manufacture such large, lengthy cables? – XLinks have created a sister company XLCC to carry out the cable manufacturing and laying. – It will take at least three years just to get going. – North Ayrshire Council (Scotland) has granted planning permission to build the first HVDC subsea cable factory in the UK. – Assembly requires cable to run through the factory, building layers on the aluminium core, through to the outer insulation layer. But that coating takes three hours to harden, and to avoid it collecting on the underside of the cable, they have to run it vertically for that period. – So they need a tower 180m high – it will be Scotland’s tallest building! – The tower alone will take a year to build. – It will take another year to build and fit out the rest of the plant – which will end up being 800m long and 375m wide. – Then the cable needs to be tested – which means putting a section under incredible stresses of heat and cold for a year, at 180% capacity.
Wait, won’t they need a big boat too? – The biggest cable-laying vessel in the world is not big enough. – XLCC are going to need a bigger vessel capable of carrying two 13,000-ton spools. So that has to be commissioned – a three-year project on its own. – The vessel will be 200m long, 35m wide and include 110 bedrooms and a canteen.
Who’s going to join the cables? – At sea, they need to be able to join the cable, which is manufactured in 20km sections, into the 160km spools for the vessel. – That’s a skilled job, so they need 60 joiners on the team. – It takes three years to fully train and certify them. XLCC are already been working with academic institutions to recruit engineering graduates to join a programme.

The Solution is coming from under the Water.
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.”
The Answer my British Friend is Blowing in the Wind !!!
@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 !!!
Morocco, Land of Sunshine, Oranges, Eggs, Electric Charm and Camels for the Brits
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.

This article will define the main steps that have shaped the progress of the BRIC, BRICS, and now BRICS + 2024. The main aspects are presented with their direct impact on the international relations between economic nations. The BRICS + as a new group of emerging countries have in their beginning concentrated on having an alternative space where they can build between the founding members direct communication on their trade and financial relationships. The BRIC acronym stands for #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, and #SouthAfrica. The setting of the related structure was materialized making the addition of an African Member South Africa transforming the BRIC into BRICS. This step has allowed the BRIC Club to be a Community of Nations that are representative of continents and regions of the world that can share common grounds of needs and seek common solutions to the challenges raised and created by the Western Advanced Economies.
A sort of new differentiation was put in place for middle economic nations to be distinctive from the rest of countries considered as Subcapitalit economies that had no international organ representing their interests in common means and ways of defense or expression. The BRICS filled this gap and started building structures to substitute them for what the Western Advanced Economies have created since the end of the Second World War to maintain a certain discipline and control of the international arenas of trade, business, finance, and culture as well as direct diplomatic relationships between their members. This evolution imposed on the BRICS to become and to be more representative to be able to use the structures built and to create more credibility for their actions and objectives. The present 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is effectively the real translation and expression of such role and function that its founding members are pursuing and trying to materialize in the sense of reinforcing a response to Multipolarism and Multilateralism as new forms of intra and international structuring of the relationship between the countries of the South and those of the North.
In the following text, you will read about the evolution of the BRICS its transformative path, and its continual adaptation to new challenges erupting on the international scene. The founding members of the BRICS with China at the forefront of the Group, are seeking to increase their weight and their propositions to respond and express their approaches which aim at the monopoly played by Western-based organizations in defining the direction of the World economy, the Geostrategic interests and the Economic regulations have been carried since the beginning of the 19th century with the end of the Colonial Prohibitions and Mercantilism and the expansion of Liberalism to the present time of Neoliberalism.
Breaking the Borders of Globalization, Multinationalisation, and Internationalization and Setting New Forms of Supra-Integration
The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is being held under the chairmanship of Russia from October 22-24. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “The Summit, themed ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,’ will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues.”
Adding New Members to BRICS
The #BRICS group expanded in early 2024 to include #Iran, the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Ethiopia, and #Egypt. #SaudiArabia was also announced as a new member, though the kingdom has yet to make a final decision on whether to join. Argentinian President Javier Milei, who took office in December 2023 and is steering his country’s geopolitical alignment toward the #US and away from China and Brazil, declined a membership invitation.
The nations still seeking admission include #Malaysia, #Thailand, and #Turkey. Further enlargement could be discussed during this summit in Kazan, Russia, on Oct. 22-24.
What is the impetus for expansion?
The BRICS club of nations almost doubled in size this year, making it a more credible counterweight to the G7. The BRICS group of emerging-market powers has gone from a slogan dreamed up at an #investmentbank to BRICS+ two almost doubled in size in 2024, pairing several major #energy producers with some of the biggest consumers among developing countries and potentially enhancing the group’s economic clout in a US-dominated #world. The push has been driven largely by China, now the world’s pre-eminent industrial power, which is trying to boost its global clout by courting nations traditionally allied with the US. South Africa and Russia have backed the expansion. India was initially hesitant because it was concerned that a bigger BRICS would transform the group into a mouthpiece for China, while Brazil was worried about alienating the West — although both governments eventually agreed to an enlargement.
The Launching Pad of the BRICS
Jim O’Neill, the Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, created the acronym BRICS in 2001. O’Neill’s research paper, Building Better Global Economic BRICs, proposed that the economic potential of Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) could make them among the world’s most dominant economies by 2050. O’Neill argued that the growth of these countries could challenge the dominance of the G7, the world’s seven most advanced economies.
The BRICS group of emerging-market powers — the acronym stands for #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, and #SouthAfrica — has gone from a slogan dreamed up at an #investmentbank and the Brics two decades ago.
Russia and the U.S. Dollar: A Yoyo Game by the Control of Gold
On June 2024, With the BRICS firmly committed to de-dollarization, Morgan Stanley recently said that the US dollar cannot be dethroned.
On the heels of what Kaddafi was proposing the use of their pricing for gold would serve as the basis for payment for other primary goods including petrol. This claim was the last straw that broke the back of the camel and resulted in his assassination. Almost in a similar line to nationalizing the price of the precious metals, Russia has proposed that BRICS member countries create their own precious metals exchange in a move that could upend the long-established international pricing mechanisms for gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals. This declaration has sent the price of gold skyrocketing.
The news comes on October 23, 2024, on the heels of Wednesday’s declaration adopted by the leaders of the BRICS countries supporting an increase in the exchange of precious metals between members based on common product quality standards.
At the Kazan summit, Russia proposed to the BRICS countries to create a precious metals exchange, which, according to the authors of the idea, will fundamentally change the principles of pricing in this conservative market.
As stated in the message of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, the declaration of the leaders of the BRICS countries adopted on Wednesday supported an increase in the turnover of precious metals between the countries of the association based on common product quality standards. “The creation of a mechanism for trading metals within the BRICS countries will lead to the formation of fair and equitable competition based on exchange principles,” the Ministry of Finance said in a release.
“The mechanism will include the creation of instruments for price indicators for metals, standards for the production and trade of bullion, accreditation of market participants, clearing and auditing within the BRICS countries, and the participating countries will have a reliable way of stable exchange trading within the association,” said the head of the department Anton Siluanov, quoted in the message.
The BRICS club of nations dominated by China almost doubled in size this year 2024, making it a more credible counterweight to the G7. The BRICS is pairing several major #energy producers with some of the biggest consumers among developing countries and potentially enhancing the group’s economic clout in a US-dominated #world. Dozens more countries have expressed interest in joining its ranks.
Who are the New Members of BRICS?
The rise of BRICS (and now BRICS+) reflects a shared belief among important emerging players that the Western-dominated, rules-based international order—and particularly the system of global economic governance—is both stacked against their interests and fundamentally outdated. The #BRICS group expanded in early 2024 to include #Iran, the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Ethiopia, and #Egypt. #SaudiArabia was also announced as a new member, though the kingdom has yet to make a final decision on whether to join. Argentinian President Javier Milei, who took office in December 2023 and is steering his country’s geopolitical alignment toward the #US and away from China and Brazil, declined a membership invitation.
The nations still seeking admission include #Malaysia, #Thailand, and #Turkey. Further enlargement is likely to be discussed at a summit in Kazan, Russia, on Oct. 22-24.
The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is being held under the chairmanship of Russia from October 22-24. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “The Summit, themed ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,’ will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin will host the first-ever summit of BRICS+ from October 22 to 24 in the Tatarstan city of Kazan. There, the founding members of BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—will formally welcome into their fold five new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Putin has also invited more than two dozen other countries that have applied for or are considering membership in the expanding club. The gathering is meant to send an unmistakable signal: Despite the West’s best efforts to isolate it, Russia has many friends around the world.
To some in the West, the emergence of BRICS+ suggests something even more ominous—a world that is fragmenting into competing blocs, thanks to intensifying geopolitical rivalry between East and West and growing mutual alienation between North and South. According to this reading, Beijing and Moscow are intent on exploiting some countries’ resentment of the United States and its wealthy world allies to consolidate an anti-Western counterweight to the venerable Group of 7 (G7), a process that is likely to paralyze global cooperation within other multilateral venues.

Of particular concern is the future of the Group of 20 (G20). Even before BRICS expansion, it had become a microcosm of growing global rifts. A further hardening of these divisions would undercut the G20’s fundamental raison d’être: namely, to help bridge gulfs between—and leverage the capabilities of—important countries that are not inherently or necessarily like-minded.
With the rise of economies like China and India, many countries see BRICS as a platform to counterbalance the influence of traditional Western powers. Recent global conflicts and increased US-China rivalry might push countries towards BRICS as a way to navigate complex geopolitical dynamics.
The push has been driven largely by China, now the world’s pre-eminent industrial power, which is trying to boost its global clout by courting nations traditionally allied with the US. South Africa and Russia have backed the expansion. India was initially hesitant because it was concerned that a bigger BRICS would transform the group into a mouthpiece for China, while Brazil was worried about alienating the West — although both governments eventually agreed to an enlargement.
The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is being held under the chairmanship of Russia from October 22-24, 2024. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “The Summit, themed ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,’ will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues” and work together to build and implement adequate solutions and adaptable responses to the new challenges that Presiden Xi has called on BRICS members to pursue and realize.
– Build a BRICS committed to peace, and act as defenders of common security. – Build a BRICS committed to innovation, and act as pioneers of high-quality development. – Build a BRICS committed to green development, and act as promoters of sustainable development. – Build a BRICS committed to justice, and act as forerunners in reforming global governance. – Build a BRICS committed to closer people-to-people exchanges, and act as advocates for harmonious coexistence among all civilizations.

English Version: New Economic Houses on BRICS and MINT
The Financial Times estimated that the seven largest emerging economies can hypothetically be called a new G7: four BRICS members – Brazil, Russia, India and China and three countries of the so-called MINT – Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey, will have a combined GDP of $37.8 trillion in 2014 when calculated at purchasing power parity (PPS).
However, the long established G7 group of industrialized nations: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US are expected to have an output of $34.5 trillion.
Version Française: Les nouvelles puissances économiques du monde Bâtie sur BRICS et à la Menthe Le Financial Times estime que les sept plus grandes économies émergentes peuvent hypothétiquement être appelés une nouvelle G7: quatre membres du BRICS – Brésil, Russie, Inde et Chine et trois pays de la soi-disant MINT – Mexique, l’Indonésie et la Turquie, aura un PIB combiné de $ 37,8 trillions en 2014 lorsqu’il est calculé à partir de la Parité de Pouvoir d’Achat (PPA). http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parit%C3%A9_de_pouvoir_d’achat Cependant, le groupe du G7 établi de longue date par les pays industrialisés: le Canada, la France, l’Allemagne, l’Italie, le Japon, le Royaume-Uni et les États-Unis devraient avoir un total de seulement $ 34,5 trillions.
From July 2014 to July 2015, the BRICS group, the new emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a new international financial institution capitalized with $200 billion of liquidity. This banking organization was projected to act as BRICS Development Bank with $100 billion along with a reserve currency pool worth over another $100 billion.
On July 2015, in China, the New Development bank, also known as the BRICS Bank, has been approved by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress during its meetings that are actually taking place until July 1, 2015. India and Russia had already agreed on this creation and South Africa is expected to present ratification documents in July during a meeting of BRICS countries in the Russian city of Ufa.
THE BRICS FACTORY OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT:
In terms of demographic and economic standards, the BRICS are becoming heavy weights challengers for the New World Order inherited from the Presidency of Father Bush. The group BRICS has 42 percent of the world’s population and roughly 20 percent of the world’s economy based on gross domestic product, and 30 percent of the world’s GDP based on purchasing power parity. * The total trade between the BRICS’ countries is $6.14 trillion, or nearly 17 percent of the world’s total. They also account for 11 percent of global capital investment. China, India and Brazil are also ranked among the largest economies in the world with more than $2 trillion, €1.25 trillion by nominal GDP.
In 2015, the members of this privileged “Elite” club were the United States, China, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and India. Their ranking in respect to respective GDP in trillions of U.S. dollars is the following: USA $18.1 – China $11.2 – Japan $4.2 – Germany $3.4 – U.K. $2.9 – France $2.5 – India $2.3 – Brazil $1.9 – Italy $1.8 – Canada$1.6.
THE STRUCTURE OF NEW BRICS DEVELOPMENT BANK:
Each member of the BRICS will have a seat for their Finance Minister or Central Bank Chair at the Bank’s Representative Board. The other innovation is that membership is not just limited to BRICS economies such is the case in other international financial institutions. The BRICS Bank will be headquartered in Shanghai, with India presiding it during the first year, and Russia serving as the chairman of the representatives. During the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summits in the Russian city of Ufa, Anton Siluanov has been appointed Board Chairman of the New Development Bank, he is the current Russian Finance Minister. Similarly, it has been agreed that an African regional center of the NDB bank will be established in South Africa.
In recent interview conducted by RT, the New Development Bank president Kundapur Vaman Kamath declared a “significant part” of the bank’s activity could be carried out in local currencies. “I have not applied my mind as to what effect it will have on other currencies. But as far as our local currencies are concerned, our own countries are concerned, that will substantially reduce any exchange risk.” He also projected that by April 2016 the New Development Bank will issue its first loan.
Mr. Kamath added: “I think clearly setting up of this bank is also a signal that developing countries are now able to stand on their feet in their own way and set up their own institutions. We are really looking at expanding the membership base in the future.” In this perspective, joining the Development Bank remains open to other emerging countries, such as Mexico, Indonesia, or Argentina, once it sorts out its debt burden.
The initial funding came from each BRICS member that will contribute an equal share in establishing a startup capital of $50 billion while the full participation is $100 billion. This capitalization represents a crisis lending fund and is called the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). China contributed with $41 billion while Russia, Brazil and India will add in $18 billion, and South Africa, the newest member, will contribute $5 billion. The contribution of 39.5 percent will give China the largest voting rights.
On the 7/9/2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin is meeting BRICS leaders in an expanded format at the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summits in the Russian city of Ufa which took place on July 8-10, 2015. The Summit in the Russian City of Ufa become the cradle for the official launch of the New Development Bank and the designation of its leaders. in the same perspective, the BRICS countries agreed to put in place a $100bn reserve currency pool which aims to protect the member states – the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – from currency volatility shocks. This is one of the reasons, the summits agreed that the association will start using their local currencies for mutual settlements quite soon.
In fact, the continuity of the financial imbalances of the western economies added to the unpredictability of their financial institutions and their budgetary deficits had added more concerns to the BRICS members and have motivated them to sustain the creation of the New Development Bank, an alternative and a supplement to existing international “hard currency” financial institutions.
THE NEW ALTERNATIVE TO THE UNION OF WESTERN BANKS:
The idea behind these financial moves is to create structures that will help to lessen dependency on the West and to create a more multi-polar world. Other implications are a design to protect against the instability and the fluctuations of the Western based currencies. The BRICS BANK is sought to provide also financial means and resources to counter the influence of Western-based lending institutions and the US Dollar, especially at the wake of the current financial turmoil traversing the western economies and the regional conflicts generated by the consequent race for the natural resources around the globe.
Within such frame, the long domination of the US Dollar since the signing of Bretton Woods Agreement and the Nixon Administration’s creation of the Petro-dollars (1973 oil crisis) are starting to show some fissures and weakness in the resolution, remittance and refinancing of international transactions.
Furthermore, the western-based banking system and the recent Libor scandal and other related fraudulent behaviors and abuses coupled had increased the reluctance of Emerging economies to continue to be financed through a system that rely only on lending volume as the key metric for success. Similarly, the development and the integration of technology-oriented methods of resolution and transfer of assets and financial denominations have added more determinations to the Emerging economies to establish their own channels to finance their infrastructures and funnels directly their funds without intermediaries. These technological advances have also facilitated the consultation and the planning of infrastructural projects to be financed as joint development ventures by the BRICS economies for their own countries and for the rest of the developing world.
Additionally, the need of alternative global financial instruments is increasing given that the trade is bilaterally developed among emerging economies and between them and the rest of the developing world. For these reasons, the financial institutions and facilities offered by western societies such as the IMF, the World Bank and the OPIC and their regional agencies are considered as organizations dominated by western shareholders which add more challenges for projects oriented toward the development of national resources and the related infrastructure. Within such perspective, the other bank being promoted by China as an alternative to existing development institutions, such as the IMF and the World Bank, is the new Asian Development Bank, known as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, that was established in October 2014. Britain and Germany are listed among its 57 member states.
To avoid such hurdles and to reduce cost and time in terms of realizations, the emerging economies are developing regional free trade blocs and treaties that are engaging their financial resources as well. For these reasons, the Members of BRICS are seeking to reinforce bilateral trade relations without relying on the evaluation or the approval by Western based decision making. The other aspect is the total fees charged by the related lending institution and the influence of the dollar in the development of the international trade of commodities and primary goods.
The implications of all these new forms of competitiveness at the level of financial transactions and their far-reaching impact on the balance of payments, especially the current accounts of the countries concerned, it is without equivoque that new currencies are going to be emerging within certain trading blocs before to reach an international acceptance. The establishment of these regional banking institutions that aim to be a global player are the first signs of such move.

N.B.: * The aforementioned indicators are reflective of tendencies and not realities of economic situations and social conditions. For this reason, they have to be considered as reflective of selective and comparative performances given the fact that the world economy can be defined, estimated, evaluated, but also can be expressed in various other forms and indications. “It is unclear, for example, how many of the world’s 7.13 billion people have most of their economic activity reflected in these [aforementioned] valuations.”

Unfortunately, the Fed’s first increase was a response to the financial obstruction of the UK economy but was met with OPEC’s decision to cut oil production, Russia’s decision to only accept rubble as a means of payment and the decision of the Chinese to make the payment only with the Yuan for all external transactions.
The conglomeration of all these geo-economic actions made the dollar the first higher than the euro in the international market while it also increased its vulnerability to emerging markets as it impacted more than 60% debt-ridden countries that are on the verge of default with Zambia, Sri Lanka and Ghana at the forefront of full default.
The recession was no longer on the periphery of Western economies, it was spreading beyond the surge in inflation of energy, commodities and the accessibility of basic foodstuffs by many countries.
Also, Japan has always played the role of antechamber and echo chamber for the American economy since the Reaganomics and Economic School of the Chicago Boys.
These changes have motivated producers of oil in the middle east to advocate change of direction for the OPEC and to seek payment alternatives than the dollar which is a kind of renegating on the era of the petrodollars. Within such scope, following the example of Iran, the hydrocarbon-exporting states of the Gulf Cooperation Council looked for alternative methods and means of payments for their energy production which can afford them “to broaden their ability to transact within both dollarised and de-dollarised zones of the global economy. While these states remain firmly embedded in the US-led economic and security architecture, they still see some advantages in reducing their reliance on the US and its currency.”

It has been 50 years and more that we carry this message and these words in our memory and belief to such an extent that when I crossed the borders of this world, I was asked:
Sir, do you have values to declare?
How did a smart South African pilot answer:
I always thought of his pertinent answer:
“Nothing in the hands, nothing in the briefcase, nothing in the bag, nothing in the pockets, everything in the head.”
My value as one of my Moroccan maternal cousins wrote, it is found in “La Mémoire Tatouée” and in “Le Passé Simple” of another native of our hometown as well as of the liberating activist of African consciences from Overseas in Algeria still Colonized for which members of my own family contributed in its liberation.
These values inherited and transmitted here above and here is a link that can illuminate one of its sources, a group that I lead on Facebook

This article is blatant proof that some managers working to promote Morocco, such as within the Morocco Now Campaign at the international level trying to present its existing potential, skills, and opportunities for the sake of attracting foreign companies, foreign investors, and foreign academic or social institutions. Morocco spends millions to build an image of excellence in attractivity and attractiveness hoping such foreign capital will help reduce unemployment, increase job creation, transfer know-how, and raise the standard of living of citizens.
Imagine then that all its laudable efforts do not take the expected direction nor are carried by competent officials and seasoned and experienced professionals in corresponding areas of Marketing, brand definition, and the strategic enhancement of Morocco’s position on the international scene.
The expectations of the Moroccan State are legitimate given that the expenses that are made at the international level are heavy in sum and impact the returns received by Morocco. Payments paid by Morocco for the services of foreign companies of Public Relations, International Marketing, and Consulting Firms are made with rates applied on the spot and in addition, are made in the national currency of the country where these companies offer their services. A direct impact on the balance of payments and the convertibility rate of the Dirham may result from these payment transfers.
Considering all these issues, the imperatives and the challenges facing Morocco at the global level are first the multiple repercussions at the intangible and material level. Building the foundations of economic development and growth in the liberal sense seeks foreign participation as the conduit toward integration in the global marketplace and to the network of foreign financial institutions. Within such a frame, it is quite normal to have a top-level decision-maker for such international communication and PR about Morocco. They have to be up to the task and know the international terrain that will enable them to sail the vessel Made in Morocco and Morocco Now as Innovative and efficient Leaders on board, knowing effectively the direction and the objective – the destination of all these maneuvers to make this Moroccan vessel arrive safely and to make it a proof of the prowess and the skill and the potentialities that can challenge its competitors as well as organizations of all kinds potentially interested in Morocco as a commercial partner, as a production or investment location or as a destination to visit and to know at the cultural and social levels.

Morocco is fast becoming one of the best-emerging markets for investment. Over the last decade, Morocco has witnessed an accelerated process of political, economic, and social reforms, and its steady economic growth and strategic geographic position make it an investment opportunity well worth considering.
Mascarade of the Moroccan Reality – Mascarade de la Réalité Marocaine
All these rankings are deliberate exaggerations and are oriented towards specific goals, it is free cascading advertising that we serve as vectors. If we have our analytical skills, we do not need such and such a firm to give us a colorful map like Walt Disney with numbers and a fake ranking so that we fall into their baskets and serve as a platform and bridge on which they lie comfortably at ease and we, like deafened and amazed, watch them pass under our noses their caravans full to bursting with money and income.
Already, we work for LinkedIn for free by publishing our analysis and becoming a mobile advertising panel for private companies, without questioning their references, and their data, without an equivalence closer to reality to their “corrupt findings”. We become accomplices of ignorance and the manipulation of figures for commercial ends making us prisoners of our nationalist ego to want to make our Kingdom of Morocco win a false gold medal of chocolate which will melt at the first contact with the true light of conscience and founded knowledge.
Tous ces classements sont des exagérations voulues et sont orientées vers des buts précis, c’est de la pub en cascade gratuite dont nous servons de vecteurs. Si on a des capacités propres d’analyse on n’a pas besoin de cabinet tel ou tel pour nous mettre une carte colorée a la Walt Disney avec des chiffres et un classement bidon pour que nous tombons dans leurs paniers et servir de plateforme et de ponts sur lesquels ils s’étendent confortablement a l’aise balaise et nous comme des assourdis et ébahis nous les regardons faire passer sous notre museau leurs caravanes pleines a craquer de pognon et de revenus.
Déjà, on travaille pour LinkedIn gratuitement en publiant nos propres analyse et la devenir un panneau mobile de pub pour les compagnies privées, sans que l’on remet en cause leurs références, leurs données, sans une équivalence plus proche de la réalité a leurs “trouvailles corrompues” on devient complice de l’ignorance et de la manipulation des chiffres pour des fins mercantiles nous rendant prisonniers de notre ego nationaliste a vouloir faire gagner notre Royaume du Maroc une fausse médaille d’or de chocolat qui va fondre au premier contact avec la vraie lumière de la conscience et du savoir fondé.

This kind of story is a waste of money and even prestige given that no decision-makers from our top trade, business, and finance partner or connection comment on such “Clowny” publications, they know already the “Gimmicks” and they do not buy the “Rosy” pictures and presentation of distorted, exaggerated, glossy and “trade show” and “rudimentary show biz” exposition. They are the masters in such “fabrication and makeup of reality. Period”
As Moroccan we need to stop throwing Cheap Roses at ourselves and pay the high price for it to Foreign Public relations conglomerates and Consulting Firms that turn around and resell all the intelligence they get from Moroccan Clients.
We need to find a way to show our real needs of development, not to keep enhancing and blowing out of dimensions things to give ourselves a boost of Fictional Pride and a surge of inflationary nationalistic auto-satisfaction that with the hit of the hard realities we have in Morocco, they will melt like Improvised Ice Cream in the Desert.

This is where the public money goes to enhance the image and stature of already governing bodies and responsible minds that want to have a Star on the Wild Sidewalk of the International Media Manipulation of images and realities of countries that are not realizing anything of sustainable development based on hardcore competencies and advances in the areas where the international competition is heating up between the real advanced and developed countries of the Western and Asian World

So where are the benefits for the Moroccans in all this?
Where are the improvements in social conditions?
Where is the level reached by the Research and Development and its discoveries?
Morocco is where about 80% of jobs are informal and the income gaps are very high.
In 2021, Morocco ranked 123rd out of 191 countries in the world on the Human Development Index (HDI), behind Algeria (91st) and Tunisia (97th). It is the most unequal country in North Africa according to the NGO Oxfam.
Signs of a high level of development include industrialization and the everyday use of advanced technology. Levels of education are also related to development. Developed countries usually have higher literacy rates, meaning most of their population can read and write
Developed nations have strong economies, advanced technology, and high standards of living.
Characteristics of Developed Countries?
A high per capita income;
A diverse industrial mix, including a large services sector;
A developed financial system; …
people having a longer life expectancy at birth;
A well-developed educational system.
Are we going to correct all these deficiencies with such PDF, Bling-Bling and Glittering Oscar Night Speeches of self-gratification and self-serving satisfaction while the problems are for real for the rest of the Moroccan and Morocco?

TARGET GETTING the MOROCCAN DIRHAM CONVERTED IN HARD CURRENCY and HARD PROFIT FOR REO ADDING DEEPER DEFICIT on THE BALANCE of PAYMENTS, on the DEVALUATION of the DIRHAM and the PUBLIC DEBT
Street children in Morocco number approximately 75,000, a frightening statistic when you are aware of the damage such circumstances inflict upon children’s development and future. Living in poverty and outside the school system, these children are easy targets for urban violence and all kinds of traffic, whether drugs or sex and have a future as dark as the streets they live on.
Enfants-des-rues-au-Maroc
In Casablanca, the biggest city in Morocco, approximately 22.000 children live in this condition. The chamkers are children who were abandoned or chose to flee their sometimes violent and often difficult family environments. While some of them work in the streets during the day and go home at night to sleep, others make an uncomfortable bed for the night out of a simple cardboard box or staircase step.
In the streets of Casa, the country’s economic engine, which employs over half its population, street children sell small merchandise and basic services to pedestrians and motorists alike.
This social trend is not unique to Casablanca. In Marrakech, one of the biggest souks in Morocco, the millions of tourists aren’t pounding the pavement alone – street children have also set up houses there. Sometimes organized in clans, they earn a few cents in the vicinity of the famous market by selling packets of tissues, tourist guides, and other products.
With a few Dirhams, these children can buy drugs. To alleviate the stress of their daily lives they often sniff glue, a cheap and easy-to-obtain drug, or other hallucinogenic substances. The exact number of street children in Casablanca, Marrakech, and elsewhere is difficult to establish due to their mobility. According to the Moroccan Ministry of Solidarity, Women, Family, and Social Development, the number fluctuates between 20,000 and 70,000.
However, the source of this problem is easier to pinpoint:
The poverty and unemployment affecting numerous Moroccan families and the lack of care and affection given to certain children in the family environment are some of the factors that force children to live on the streets.
A dash of color on a dark canvas: Moroccan civil society, represented by non-governmental organizations and associations, is trying to come to the aid of these children. Occasionally, at the government’s initiative, welcome centers have been opened and strive to reintegrate street children into the school system, a family, and society as a whole.
However, the number of children to care for is too high compared to the infrastructure and qualified personnel dedicated to the cause. Moreover, it is not easy to establish trust between the social and educational agents and the victims; the children, abandoned by their families and rejected by society, have lost all trust in adults and all hope for the future.
Nevertheless, we must safeguard their fundamental rights and, above all, their right to childhood.

“Mohcine Jazouli: First of all, I would like to remind you that it was His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, who called, during the Opening Speech in Parliament on October 8, 2021, for the adoption, as soon as possible, “of a new competitive investment charter”. It was therefore necessary to act quickly and well, knowing that the framework law 18.95, the previous charter, would have been almost 27 years old today. This has supported the development of the country and the rise of a modern and broadly diversified economy. But economic, social, institutional, technological, and environmental changes have made it imperative to reform the State’s investment policy. Moreover, the current situation, despite the difficulties it entails, presents opportunities that Morocco will seize. Thus, the new charter is aimed at all those who wish to participate in this new phase of the Kingdom’s development, at all those who project themselves into a promising future: from the VSME to the large group, to national or foreign investors through the Moroccan companies wishing to develop internationally, they will all find in the charter a transparent, incentive and attractive framework.” Source: Challenge.ma – 12/15/2022
Government Council adopted the 1st decree implementing the new Investment Charter – January 26, 2023
As part of the implementation of the High Guidelines of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, the Government Council adopted, on January 26, 2023, the 1st decree implementing the new Investment Charter relating to the implementation of the main investment support mechanism and the specific support mechanism applicable to strategic investment projects.
This decree is a decisive step in the operationalization of the Investment Charter.
How do you test and refine your Public Relations and branding messages and materials before launching them?
Before you launch your Public Relations and branding campaign, you need to test and refine your messages and materials to ensure they are clear, consistent, and compelling. Testing and refining your PR and branding elements can help you avoid costly mistakes, improve your reputation, and increase your chances of reaching your target audience and achieving your goals. Here are some steps you can follow to test and refine your PR and branding messages and materials before launching them.
Identify your objectives and metrics
The first step is to identify what you want to achieve with your PR and branding campaign and how you will measure your success. Your objectives should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Your metrics should be aligned with your objectives and reflect the outcomes you want to see, such as awareness, engagement, conversion, or loyalty. For example, if your objective is to increase brand awareness among a new segment, your metrics could include reach, impressions, mentions, or surveys.
Define your target audience and personas
The next step is to define who you want to reach with your PR and branding campaign and what motivates them. Your target audience is the group of people who are most likely to be interested in your product, service, or cause. Your personas are fictional representations of your ideal customers or stakeholders, based on their demographics, psychographics, behaviors, and needs. By defining your target audience and personas, you can tailor your messages and materials to their preferences, pain points, and goals.
Create your key messages and value proposition
The third step is to create your key messages and value proposition that communicate what you do, why you do it, and how you are different from your competitors. Your key messages are the main points you want to convey to your target audience and the media. Your value proposition is the unique benefit you offer to your customers or stakeholders. Your key messages and value proposition should be concise, consistent, and compelling, and support your objectives and brand identity.
Develop your PR and branding materials
The fourth step is to develop your PR and branding materials that support your key messages and value proposition and showcase your brand personality. Your PR and branding materials could include press releases, media kits, pitches, blogs, social media posts, newsletters, brochures, flyers, logos, slogans, videos, podcasts, or webinars. Your PR and branding materials should be relevant, engaging, and informative, and use a consistent tone, voice, and style.
Test your PR and branding elements
The fifth step is to test your PR and branding elements with a sample of your target audience and some external experts. Testing your PR and branding elements can help you get feedback on their clarity, consistency, and persuasiveness, and identify any gaps, errors, or areas for improvement. You can test your PR and branding elements using various methods, such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, usability tests, A/B tests, or analytics.
Refine your PR and branding elements
The final step is to refine your PR and branding elements based on the results of your testing and feedback. Refining your PR and branding elements can help you polish your messages and materials, enhance your brand image, and optimize your campaign performance. You can refine your PR and branding elements by making adjustments to your content, design, format, or delivery, and by ensuring they align with your objectives, metrics, brand identity, and target audience expectations.

International Conference on Africa and AGOA, Berkeley, California, USA
Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.
I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa. He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table. Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.
