A high-level Moroccan delegation in a trade mission in the U.S.

Casablanca February 16, 2024 – The Foreign Commercial Service based in the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca, in collaboration with the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), organized, on February 11 – 21, 2024, a reverse trade mission for the benefit of a high-level Moroccan delegation.

With its focus on digital development and innovation, the reverse trade mission stands as an example of a U.S.-Morocco partnership, placing American-trusted technology at the service of Moroccan economic prosperity, and increasing Morocco’s attractiveness to the international business community.

https://ma.usembassy.gov/a-high-level-moroccan-delegation-in-a-trade-mission-in-the-u-s

As for Morocco’s sovereignty, the country has been making significant strides in asserting its autonomy and enhancing its international standing. The recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Sahara by the United States in 2020 was a notable development in this regard.

In terms of contributing to the development of the African continent, Morocco’s efforts are noteworthy. The country is actively involved in various initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth and sustainable development in Africa.  By attracting investments in high-tech and high-value-added sectors, Morocco is not only advancing its own economic development but also contributing to the broader development goals of the African continent.

The Moroccan delegation’s visit to San Francisco represents a significant milestone in Morocco’s ongoing efforts to attract foreign investments, enhance its sovereignty, and contribute to the development of the African continent. These engagements will have an innovative and constructive impact on Morocco’s economic landscape and its role in Africa’s development.

1993-1994 – Event for the Promotion of Export and International Trade Between California and the Rest of the World that have Shaped my Memories and Destiny

In California, it All Started in 1993 at the East Bay Small Business Development Center, at Green Breurner’s Building, the Former Largest Department Furniture Store at the 7th Floor with Ms. Selma Taylor as the Executive Director and Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui as the Business Consultant

The Breuner Building at 2201 Broadway, Oakland, California became the site of the John Breuner Furniture Company in 1931.  The art deco terra cotta masterpiece was designed by prominent local architect Albert Roller. 

Historical landmark columnist Annalee Allen called the Breuner Building “an eight-story reinforced concrete building with a distinctive variegated sea-green glazed terra cotta front facade, constructed in 1931 to house the John Breuner Furniture Company store. Other noteworthy features of the building include Art Deco motifs, and a pair of stylized figures crafting a chair located over the front entrance.”

The Oakland store was closed in the 1970’s and sold by the company where, following renovation, the historic building reopened as an office building in the late 1970’s.

The California Genealogical Society moved into the former Breuner Building in March 2007. As of 2012, the appearance of Ikea furniture, large yoga balls for sitting, and a flyer on the door indicating an entrance on the side heralded the move-in of a startup on the ground floor of the building – Spark Art.

Location: 2201 Broadway, Oakland, California

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, France, 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 the awareness about Africa and its need of establishing new kinds of relations with other countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

Here below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who hold firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

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 a special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

On my right hand is Dr. Faheem Director of the Center for International Trade Development, on the other left side and holding my hand is Dr. Boubacar N’diaye, Chairman of the African Development Bank from 1985 to 1995 and honorary chairman of the same institution (Rest in Peace among the Blessed ones, Ameen)

Morocco Background

Morocco is recognized as a top market reformer in the Middle East and North Africa. The nation has emerged as a commercial hub as a result of its economic reforms, investment incentives, competitive costs of production, modern banking processes, strong laws to protect intellectual property, and proximity to major markets.  Morocco has a Free Trade Agreement with the United States and an Association Agreement with the European Union (EU). These agreements attract traders looking to enter Morocco, the world’s largest markets (such as the EU and the United States), and the world’s fastest-growing markets (e.g., Africa). The U.S.- – Morocco Free Trade Agreement entered into force in January 2006, eliminating duties on more than 95 percent of all goods and services, and U.S. exports have grown dramatically since then.

Morocco’s in 2010-11: Table on Five Pillars

The major resources of the Moroccan economy are agriculture, phosphates, and tourism. Sales of fish and seafood are important as well. Industry and mining contribute about one-third of the annual GDP. Morocco is the world’s third-largest producer of phosphates (after the United States and China), and the price fluctuations of phosphates on the international market greatly influence Morocco’s economy. Tourism and workers’ remittances have played a critical role since independence. The production of textiles and clothing is part of a growing manufacturing sector that accounted for approximately 34% of total exports in 2002, employing 40% of the industrial workforce. The government wishes to increase textile and clothing exports from $1.27 billion in 2001 to $3.29 billion in 2010.

The services sector accounts for just over half of GDP and industry, made up of mining, construction, and manufacturing, is an additional quarter. The sectors that recorded the highest growth are the tourism, telecoms, and textile sectors. Morocco, however, still depends to an inordinate degree on agriculture. The sector accounts for only around 14% of GDP but employs 40-45% of the Moroccan population. With a semi-arid climate, it is difficult to assure good rainfall and Morocco’s GDP varies depending on the weather. Fiscal prudence has allowed for consolidation, with both the budget deficit and debt falling as a percentage of GDP.

In 2009 Morocco was ranked among the top thirty countries in the offshoring sector. Morocco opened its doors to offshoring in July 2006, as one component of the development initiative Plan Emergence, and has so far attracted roughly half of the French-speaking call centers that have gone offshore and a number of the Spanish ones. 

According to experts, multinational companies are attracted by Morocco’s geographical and cultural proximity to Europe, in addition to its time zone. In 2007 the country had about 200 call centers, including 30 of significant size, that employ a total of over 18,000 people.

The economic system of the country presents several facets. It is characterized by a large opening towards the outside world. France remains the primary trade partner (supplier and customer) of Morocco. France is also the primary creditor and foreign investor in Morocco. In the Arab world, Morocco has the second-largest non-oil GDP, behind Egypt, as of 2005.

Since the early 1980s, the Moroccan government has pursued an economic program toward accelerating real economic growth with the support of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Paris Club of creditors. The country’s currency, the dirham, is now fully convertible for current account transactions; reforms of the financial sector have been implemented; and state enterprises are being privatized.

The high cost of imports, especially of petroleum imports, is a major problem. Another chronic problem is unreliable rainfall, which produces drought or sudden floods; in 1995, the country’s worst drought in 30 years forced Morocco to import grain and adversely affected the economy. Another drought occurred in 1997, and one in 1999–2000. Reduced incomes due to drought caused GDP to fall by 7.6% in 1995, by 2.3% in 1997, and by 1.5% in 1999. During the years between drought, and good rains bumper crops to market. Good rainfall in 2001 led to a 5% GDP growth rate. Morocco suffers both from unemployment (9.6% in 2008), and a large external debt estimated at around $20 billion, or half of GDP in 2002.

Morocco and United States Trade Relations

Morocco is located in Northwestern Africa and is slightly geographically larger than California. The capital of Morocco is Rabat, which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco has a population of 34.37 million people and a gross domestic product (GDP) of $100.6 billion. Due to its proximity to Europe along the strategic location as a gateway to Africa, Morocco has created strong trade relationships and promotes an open market economy. In 2015, the US had $304 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) in Morocco.

Morocco and the United States in 2016

The United States is the fourth largest importer of Moroccan goods.

In 2016, the US imported roughly $1 billion worth of goods from Morocco. The largest category of imported goods was chemicals, which made up 36.8% or $375 million of the total. Other imports from Morocco included food manufacturers, apparel manufacturing products, and transportation equipment. In the same year, the United States exported $1.86 billion worth of goods to Morocco, which was an increase from the previous year. In the same year, the United States exported $1.86 billion worth of goods to Morocco, which was an increase from the previous year.

The main exports to Morocco were transportation equipment (31.6%), agricultural products (15%), and petroleum and coal products (8.7%). Export data pulled from the International Trade Administration (ITA) shows that average US exports to Morocco have more than tripled since the US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (FTA) went into effect just over a decade ago.

President George W. Bush signed the FTA, the first US free trade agreement with an African country, exactly twelve years ago today; and the agreement went into effect on January 1, 2006.

In the three years before the FTA (2003-2005), US exports to Morocco averaged $482 million; in the past three years (2013-2015), they increased 328 percent to $2.1 billion.

At the state level, Texas claims the spot as the top exporter to Morocco, both in 2015 and on average over the past three years, exporting $510 and $710 million worth of goods, respectively. Other top state exporters when looking at three-year averages include Louisiana, West Virginia, Washington, and California in descending order; considering only 2015, Washington, Louisiana, Virginia and California rounded out the top five following Texas.

When looking at sheer growth in exports since before the FTA, other states emerge as winners. Nevada experienced the biggest boost in exports at a nearly 13,000% increase; Idaho’s exports increased by nearly 11,000%; Montana’s by just over 10,000%; New Mexico by nearly 4,500%; and West Virginia by just under 4,000%.

Morocco has been doing everything right to strengthen and diversify its economy,” said former US Ambassador to Morocco Edward M. Gabriel. “Choosing Morocco as the US’s first FTA beneficiary in Africa was a smart move, and I believe the US will continue benefiting from this strong relationship for years to come.

”Here below, you will find presentations on the California – Morocco Trade and the MAFTA – Morocco Free Trade Agreement with the United States including investment opportunities in Morocco.

Foreign Investment and Foreign Trade in 2024

 China ★ 1 Jan 2022

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Articles on USA – Morocco Trade Relations 16 Nov 2021 In “California”

The Investment Charter, Law 18-95 of October 1995, is the current foundational Moroccan text governing investment and applies to both domestic and foreign investment (direct and portfolio). 

Morocco’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) increased by 1.2 USD bn in June 2022, compared with an increase of 416.3 USD mn in the previous quarter. Morocco Foreign Direct Investment: USD mn net flow data is updated quarterly, available from Mar 2014 to Jun 2022.

According to data from the country’s foreign trade watchdog, the Exchange Office (OE), Morocco welcomed MAD 6.3 billion ($578 million) in investments from the US in the first half of 2022, compared to MAD 5.6 billion ($513.7 million) from France.

For the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2020 , Morocco attracted the eighth most foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa. Following a record year in 2018 where Morocco attracted $3.6 billion in FDI, inbound FDI dropped by 55 percent to $1.6 billion in 2019. Despite the global COVID-19 pandemic, FDI inflows to Morocco remained largely stable totaling $1.7 billion in 2020, according to the Moroccan Foreign Exchange Office, a slight increase of one percent from the previous year. France, the UAE, and Spain hold a majority of FDI stocks. Manufacturing has the highest share of FDI stocks, followed by real estate, trade, tourism, and transportation. Morocco continues to orient itself as the “gateway to Africa” for international investors following Morocco’s return to the African Union in January 2017 and the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) in March 2018, which entered into force in 2021.

In June 2019, Morocco opened an extension of the Tangier-Med commercial shipping port, making it the largest in the Mediterranean and the largest in Africa. Tangier is connected to Morocco’s political capital in Rabat and commercial hub in Casablanca by Africa’s first high-speed train service. Morocco continues to climb in the World Bank’s Doing Business index, rising to 53rd place in 2020, rising on the list by 75 places over the last decade. Despite the significant improvements in its business environment and infrastructure, high rates of unemployment, weak intellectual property rights protections, inefficient government bureaucracy, and the slow pace of regulatory reform remain challenges.

Morocco has ratified 72 investment treaties for the promotion and protection of investments and 62 economic agreements, including with the United States and most EU nations, that aim to eliminate the double taxation of income or gains. Morocco is the only country on the African continent with a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States, eliminating tariffs on more than 95 percent of qualifying consumer and industrial goods.

The Government of Morocco plans to phase out tariffs for some products through 2030. The FTA supports Morocco’s goals to develop as a regional financial and trade hub, providing opportunities for the localization of services and the finishing and re-export of goods to markets in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

Since the U.S.-Morocco FTA came into effect bilateral trade in goods has grown nearly five-fold. The U.S. and Moroccan governments work closely to increase trade and investment through high-level consultations, bilateral dialogue, and other forums to inform U.S. businesses of investment opportunities and strengthen business-to-business ties.

With an annual Gross Domestic Product growth rate of nearly five percent over the past five years, Morocco’s recent economic history is one of macroeconomic stability and low inflation, despite the challenges of the Arab Spring. In the World Bank’s 2017 Doing Business report, Morocco’s rating improved to 69th in the world. Morocco is conveniently located for investors interested in exporting to Europe and Africa. Moreover, the availability of skilled and competitive labor at lower costs, relative to Europe, is a key factor in attracting automakers to Morocco. These automakers are also eligible for tax exemptions for 25 years, provided that most of the production is destined for export.“

The interests of Renault in Morocco remain the control of the Moroccan automobile market, the availability of very affordable and relatively well-educated workforce, and the bridge to Europe and the Gateway to Africa and the Middle East that Morocco provides through its strategic geographical location.  Additional benefits can be also the unique opportunities that are offered by the operation of Tangier. Renault is currently the dominant company in the Moroccan automotive market. The Dacia and Renault brands, owned and operated by Renault,  represent respectively 20% and 17% of the market. Renault is already operating a plant in Casablanca and the increased production of this new plant will allow the company to maintain its market share as the Moroccan automotive industry grows.” (Said El Mansour Cherkaoui)

US Aid to Morocco: Olive and Agricultural Products

In 2004, Congress created the Millennium Challenge Corp., a foreign aid agency headed by the secretary of state, to help developing countries reduce poverty. Since its inception, the agency has authorized grants totaling more than $7 billion to help 23 African and Latin American countries.

In 2007 the agency agreed to give Morocco $697.5 million over five years to improve the country’s employment rate and salaries by investing in its fruit-tree farms, small-scale fisheries, and artisan crafts, according to Millennium. Nearly half of that money – $320 million – is earmarked for the Fruit Tree Productivity Project, with 80 percent of the cash going to olives and the rest to improve date, fig, and almond production. Dates, figs, and almonds are also key California crops.

The Moroccan Version of William Russell Grace

All the Prophets has started or have been Shepherds and Pastors in their destiny like in their first profession. Miloud Chaabi learn how to cater and take care of his “own hordes” at the beginning of his raising.

Haj Miloud Chaabi chose a Family Name that was his original social identity and pursued aims that respond to the social needs of those that belong to his social roots.  Haj Miloud Chaabi never hide his humble origin, on the contrary recognized with pride where his social origin was and how he had raised from there to build one of the most fabulous stories of entrepreneurial success that Morocco has witnessed during the aftermath of the political “independence” from France.   At every stage of his journey toward consolidation of this entrepreneurial drive, he always had made sure that the benefits of such undertaking can also alleviate the burden and relieve the hardship lived by other Moroccans. 

 

He was the operator of one of the largest charity organisations in Morocco, the Miloud Chaâbi Foundation.Haj Miloud Chaabi devoted time, energy and resources of all means to make sure that  Moroccans living in the region of his ancestors can benefit from his own charitable, caritative and educational involvements and activities.  Chaâbi was also known for his philanthropic and charity work and donated 10% of his fortune to build the first American university in Morocco in conjunction with the University of Maryland, College Park. 

Especially those who were originally from the impoverished lands of the Southern Moroccan such as the Amazigh regions of Chiadma and its surrounding areas.   Haj Miloud Chaabi has conducted such endeavors without claiming fame or seeking recognition for his social and economic contributions.  In Morocco during the time of the donations and contributions by Miloud Chaabi to the poor and charities, there was no tax break for such direct and indirect help provided to the neediest. 

For all these reason, Miloud Chaabi has been dubbed and designated as:

“A Man from the People, A Man who Recognized People – A Man who Responded to the Needs of the People.”

---

---

Haj Miloud Chaabi reflects and is well known beyond the borders of Morocco as Man who his first step was an action of goodness in a journey of goodness and benevolent realizations covering thousands of kilometers in the Moroccan social, political, economic, financial and entrepreneurial landscape.  He embodied an unique Journey of Entrepreneurship and Outstanding Personality at the level of Kindness and Philanthropy in the recent history of Morocco since the fifties of last century up to this day.

Miloud Chaabi is the founder of Ynna Holding and the owner of the Riad Mogador hotel chain and group of supermarkets Aswak Assalam in Morocco. He was known for his strong stance against alcohol which is banned from both his hotel chain and supermarkets. He was known for his strong stance against alcohol which is banned from both his hotel chain and supermarkets. Chaabi’s conglomerate, Ynna Holding, has interests in real estate and construction, agribusiness, tourism, retail and manufacturing.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1797472757113103

But the ambitions of Miloud Chaabi, whose fortune was estimated at $ 1.5 billion in the 2015 Forbes rating, go beyond Moroccan borders. Thus, the group launched internationally in the seventies, Libya, Senegal, Tunisia, Mali, Ivory Coast, Mauritania and Egypt. In 2007 the group embarked on a real Egyptian estate project to build a new city in the Nile Valley along setting a manufacture of electric batteries. The Ynna group invested 50 million dirhams in Ivory Coast in 1997 in the production of plastic pipes.

The regretted Miloud Chaabi was also the parliamentary representative of Essaouira after winning the elections in 2011, until he resigned on December 8, 2014 due to his declining health.  His seat in the parliament was taken by his daughter Asma, who was second on the electoral list.

Miloud Chaabi presided upon an African expansion of the activities of its group and this beyond Moroccan borders. In the seventies, Libya, Tunisia, Mauritania, Egypt, Senegal, Gabon, Mali, Ivory Coast, became the recipient of investments and construction from the Chaabi Group with an emphasis on real estate. In 1997, 50 million dirhams were invested the Chaabi in a factory for the manufacture of plastic pipes in Ivory Coast. In 2007 Chaabi involvement in Egypt included an important real estate project to build a new city in the Nile Valley, the manufacturing of electric batteries.

Miloud Chaâbi carried out the first initial public offering of one of the entities of his group in 2007 with the SNEP.  After it successfully floated chemicals unit SNEP SNP.CS last year. Six profitable and important companies from the Moroccan industrial group Chaabi were considered for a new listing. “We will follow … SNEP’s IPO because we are happy with the market and our shareholders are seeing the benefits,” Chaabi told reporters and analysts in Casablanca.

My Interactions with the Chaabi

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui and the Chaabi Family

Common Amazigh Background and Cultural Destiny

As Globetrotter for International Trade and Business and Global Cultures, I have crossed many distant and foreign horizons with my own drive and self-driven desires to discover new lands and new encounters, as we say in the House of my birthplace: “Travel my Son, you will discover the Treasures of Humanity” and I did it without hesitations round this world in places such as France, Germany, USA, Mexico, China and Morocco, I have met with individuals which their social status range from Presidential Candidates, Chief of Political Parties, Government Ministers, Governors of Regions, Ambassadors, CEO, Mayors, Directors, Presidents of Universities, Professors, Deans to Chairman / Chairwoman and people of every kind of life and origins.  

These multinational and diverse encounters enriched me with the ability to evaluate and situate the feelings and the authenticity about the related personalities as well as their original determinations.

I visited Si Faouzi Chaabi several times and I could feel the presence of Haj Miloud Chaabi everywhere I turned, his presence was in fact embedded in all these buildings and offices I visited.  I met with Omar Chaabi too in the presence of Faouzi Chaabi, in Casablanca, again, the blessing of Haj Miloud Chaabi was overwhelming. 

Omar and Faouzi Chaabi

Chaâbi was also known for his philanthropic and charity work and donated 10% of his fortune to build the first American university in Morocco in conjunction with the University of Maryland, College Park.  He was the operator of one of the largest charity organizations in Morocco, the Miloud Chaâbi Foundation.

My first impression of the Chaabi family was that they care about the people who work with them. Faouzi Chaabi invited me to his office in Rabat, the Capital of Morocco. So I traveled from El Jadida to Rabat to meet with Faouzi Chaabi, I asked around on the bus and on the train what people knew about the family Chaabi, even the taxi driver and members of my own family without telling them that I was going to meet with one of them.

Miloud Chaabi, the Moroccan Version of William Russell Grace – Continue reading Miloud Chaabi, the Moroccan Version of William Russell Grace MAY 29, 2020

If the Chaabi lived in another country than the Kingdom of Morocco, be sure one of them could be the President of the country or the President of the Parliament. I was surprised also that many with an Amazigh background were particularly proud of the achievements of Miloud Chaabi and his family.

As myself descendant of Amazigh of the North of Morocco, I felt pride that an Amazigh has been succeeding in putting on the Moroccan Business Map such reputation and achievement. We have been waiting for a long time for such recognition and eminence among the Elites of the Moroccan business environment that has been and still is dominated by individuals and families that have pivoted around the central power and have enacted tentacular relationships from the services and allegiance demonstrated toward the inheritance of the State central power called Makhzen. The Amzigh given their continual challenges of any power since the arrival of Islam and its Arab tribes have always refused to submit even psychologically to the notion of centralization of power given their jealous belonging to their own shared power within their own ancestor ranks and tribes as well as family of Chieftain lineage.

---

This is sort of independence and concern toward even the symbol of the power became the drive for many Amazigh tribes to conquer the power for the reason to defend not only their independence but the defense of the sacrality of the central power as the defender of Islam and the culture of Amazigh that Islam has reinforced as one community given that the Islam does not make a difference between individuals and believers based on social ranks, ethnics or individual appurtenance to any group of distinction or claims. The Amazigh tribes embraced Islam given that religion comes from a single voice of Allah who presents all its creation as his follower’s equals in life like in the afterlife for the sake of believing in one Creator and one holder of Universal and Eternal Justice.

These are the qualificatives that make the Amazigh people regroup and create among them blocks of resistance and reaction against any sense or attempt of defining or changing the beliefs in such unicity of the religion of Islam. Many dynasties in Moroccan History have raised to defend such beliefs and have conducted wars against those who tried to undermine the Islamic beliefs that have cemented various and different Amazigh tribes that have been inter-fighting and have resisted each other before the arrival of Islam. In this sense, the religion of Islam has been embraced by the Amazigh tribes as unifying instruments and assembling tools to reach the same level of belief that reinforces all the pre-existing practices of loyalty and devotion to the word given and to the reputation of individuals who are the shields of the principles shared by the members of the same tribe.

The pride of the people I have interacted with during my stay in Morocco that convey to me about the Chaabi Family is rooted in the aforementioned evolution and in the characteristics of the Amazigh culture and social identities.

This aspect of ethnicity increased my curiosity about the Chaabi Family that in spite of their social and economic ascendance, they remained individually connected with their original roots not only at the level of identity or cultural appurtenance but in terms of paying back and contributing to the enhancement of such origin through their charitable actions and social engagements in the regions where their Father Miloud Chaabi was born, grown up and set up his first shop of enterprising.

Standing among and between Members of my Family, my Brothers, my Cousins, my Nephews and my Neighbors

This were important aspects and sides for me to know given that I am also of Amazigh by descent, by direct maternal origin, and by living ancestral culture. In fact, once I submitted my Doctoral Thesis at the Sorbonne University of Paris, the first action I wanted to do is to pay respect and give a hommage while making an Honor Tour in the South Region of Atlas Mountain where one of the most venerable and oldest Amazigh School.

With close friends who studied there when they were still children and far from the homes of their parents, we packaged school materials and equipment and other gifts and traveled to this Fabulous School which was like an Eagle Nest perched on the peak of the Atlas. We used high-tracked car, donkeys, and mules and later only camels with their long legs could be used for transportation of the material given the size of the rocks falling from the mountains that we had to jump over or dodge around to pass them.

We were climbing the Atlas and the Camel was the scout to find the best route in front of us. We spend the entire month of Ramadan there with a Master of Theology and Science who had lived there for 40 years and formed generations of Amazigh that now are disseminated around the world following the path of past generations who have discovered through this recluse house of knowledge spreading lights for hope and sparkles of dreams among children than look that they belong to the same family, to the same region and even to the same color of these rocks that protect them from the rest of the world, the modern of world of temptations and pretense of luxury.

We were like parachuted from Le Bon Marché, Galeries Lafayette et Printemps with our gifts that these Children considered as unnecessary in their lifestyle and their daily needs. We gave them gifts that they wanted to give them to their parents as gift during the next fest celebration for the end of Ramadan.

They were more happy about our presence among them and asked us about the world we came from and were excited to see old students coming back to them as testimony that they were not forgotten despite that these old school friends were now in foreign countries. The meeting with their past friends gives them the joy and confidence that Horizons are not the limits of friendship, reconnaissance, and Know-How but they are only the windows and the doors for the discovery of new lights of intelligence and places where to meet new treasures of humanity.

We spend the entire month of Ramadan there with a Super Master of Theology and Science who had lived there for 40 years and formed generations of Amazigh that now are disseminated around the world following the path of past generations who have discovered through this recluse house of knowledge spreading lights for hope and sparkles of dreams among children than look that they belong to the same family, to the same region and even to the same color of these rocks that protect them from the rest of the world, the modern of world of temptations and pretense of luxury.

In many instances and cases, Miloud Chaabi reminds of my own Father, Moulay Ahmed Cherkaoui, the Moroccan Pionner in Transportation Logistics in Morocco

Moulay Ahmed Cherkaoui: Popular Education and Social Progress of Morocco

---

The presence of Haj Miloud Chaabi was incarnated in the way how I felt with the environment and the surrounding people, it was like Deja Vu with the feeling that those I am meeting with a part of my extended family with whom I am just renewing my interactions.    Similarly, when I talked to the people employed by the Chaabi interests and even to the ones of the streets, I received only confirmation about my thoughts and what inspired me these meetings about the Chaabi which a deep respect of a National Hero that is Haj Miloud Chaabi.

Haj Miloud Chaabi has pursued a trail and encrusted the Moroccan Space with profound and lasting entrepreneurship innovations based on the concept of gratitude as the central material to building organizations and foundations that were reflecting the Authentic Moroccan family values.  This approach of Haj Miloud Chaabi was driven by his own experience in life and he wanted to reunite and keep the Family as the Core Competency of all his endeavors at every level of his initiatives.   Within the frame of such strategic organizational structure, Haj Miloud Chaabi was surrounded with his own people at every level of the chain of command within his enterprises.  He was at the helm of every one of them with the assistance of his sons and a daughter which enabled him to guide and strategize his enterprises as a Family owned and operated complementary entities.  

Such cohesive and integrating operating strategy has effectively enabled each member of his own Family to blossom and to follow his path that was framed by the consideration and needs of the Moroccan People.

Finally, I have an anecdotal observation that will sustain what effectively Haj Miloud Chaabi has inculcated to his own Family as beliefs and practices based on his own respectful and considerate values. 

During my first visit to the Office of Faouzi Chaabi in Rabat, I arrived at the gate and met with a man who is guarding the gate of the main entrance.  When I introduced myself to this Man and discussed with him, I noticed his southern accent and asked him with the few Amazigh I knew, he told me later that he is from the same village as Haj Miloud Chaabi.   I met later on with a Manager of the food department, I noticed the same accent again and when I asked him, he also said that while he has grown in Rabat, the Moroccan Capital, his parents are from the same region as Haj Miloud Chaabi. 

At these precise moments, my thoughts were for my Regretted Father Moulay Ahmed Cherkaoui.  Yes indeed, on the gates of his Garages and Houses, my Father used to have and employ only people from Marrakech, Sidi Kacem, Kasba Tadla and Boujad and the surrounding poor regions of Mazagan – El Jadida where I was born.  These individuals were originally from the places of my Father’s roots or from areas where the Cherkaoui lived.  My Father will give shelter to his employees and take care of the education of their siblings and children .  In the same pattern of behavior, my Father had never forgotten his Brother, his Friends and his Fellows and he had translated his loyalty to them and their Families at every stage of his own evolution.  These social endeavors were conducted during the time when to be or to act as a Moroccan Nationalist was a crime given the prevalent policy of the colonial French administration that ruled Morocco which aimed to divide the Moroccan society and to infuse into it a sense of division and dispersion of tribal and cultural cohesive values.

I could not dissipate these thoughts that surrounded me and accompanied me while I was crossing this gate and corridors inside the Chaabi enterprises.  These thoughts made me feel like I was just crossing Family Lines.  Similarly, my meetings with Si Faouzi Chaabi were conducted with the light projected by Haj Miloud Chaabi on the walls existing around us.  My feelings on such a presence transformed the environment of our meetings as remembrance of the memories and reincarnation of the spiritual image of my Father and his pioneering enterprises in the public intercity transportation business activities.  All this configuration of business reality and spiritual connections made me feel that all I was exploring here was a Déjà Vu phenomena and all my meetings with the Chaabi Family were in fact encounters and memories with my own Family entrepreneurial past.

DOUWA MOUSLIMA:

اللهُـمِّ اغْفِـرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْـه ، وَعافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْـه ، وَأَكْـرِمْ نُزُلَـه ، وَوَسِّـعْ مُدْخَـلَه ، وَاغْسِلْـهُ بِالْمـاءِ وَالثَّـلْجِ وَالْبَـرَدْ ، وَنَقِّـهِ مِنَ الْخطـايا كَما نَـقّيْتَ الـثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَـضُ مِنَ الدَّنَـسْ ، وَأَبْـدِلْهُ داراً خَـيْراً مِنْ دارِه ، وَأَهْلاً خَـيْراً مِنْ أَهْلِـه ، وَزَوْجَـاً خَـيْراً مِنْ زَوْجِه، وَأَدْخِـلْهُ الْجَـنَّة ، وَأَعِـذْهُ مِنْ عَذابِ القَـبْر وَعَذابِ النّـار 

Allaahum-maghfir lahu warhamhu, wa ‘aafihi, wa’fu ‘anhu, wa ‘akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi’ mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bilmaa’i waththalji walbaradi, wa naqqihi minal-khataayaa kamaa naqqaytath-thawbal-‘abyadha minad-danasi, wa ‘abdilhu daaran khayran min daarihi, wa ‘ahlan khayran min ‘ahlihi, wa zawjan khayran min zawjihi, wa ‘adkhilhul-jannata, wa. ‘a’ithhu min ‘athaabil-qabri[wa ‘athaabin-naar].

Translation of the Islamic Prayer

O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and give him strength and pardon him. Be generous to him and cause his entrance to be wide and wash him with water and snow and hail. Cleanse him of his transgressions as white cloth is cleansed of stains. Give him an abode better than his home, and a family better than his family and a wife better than his wife. Take him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave [and from the punishment of Hell-fire].

JUDAIC PRAYER:

• HASHEM, what is a man that You recognize him? The son of a frail human that You reckon with him?
• Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shadow.
• In the morning it blossoms and is rejuvenated, by evening it is cut down and brittle.
• According to the count of our days, so may You teach us; then we shall acquire a heart of wisdom.
• Safeguard the perfect and watch the upright for the destiny of that man is peace.
• But G-d will redeem my soul from the grip of the Lower World, for he will take me, Selah!
• My flesh and my heart yearn – rock of my heart, and my portion is G-d, forever.
• Thus the dust returns to the ground as it was, and the spirit returns to G-d who gave it.
• In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them;
• In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter, we remember them;
• In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them;
• In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them;
• In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them;
• When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them;
• When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them;
• When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
• So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us as we remember them.
• To everything there is a time:
• A time to be born and a time to die;
• A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
• A time to weep and a time to laugh;
• A time to mourn and a time to dance …
• A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
• A time to lose and a time to seek;
• A time to rend and a time to sew;
• A time to keep silent and a time to speak. – Ecclesiastes 3

CATHOLIC PRAYER:

“Eternal rest grant unto them , O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. . May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”

Authentic leadership: the case of Miloud Chaabi, a shepherd who became a business legend

Abderrahman Hassi, Giovanna Storti

Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies, ISSN: 2045-0621 – Publication date: 25 November 2014

Case overview

There is little doubt, if any, that values shape the decisions, behaviors and corporate moves that business managers and leaders make in their day-to-day operations. The following case study sheds light on the influence of personal values on individuals in leadership positions. To do so, concrete examples of observed behaviors, in cases where values have been honored and positive outcomes have been attained, will be reported. From hiring practices, contract bidding, compensation policies and/or customer service, the Ynna conglomerate group, a Moroccan holding corporation, has been led by a visionary who patiently started his life journey as a shepherd tending ewes, and decades later has emerged as an extraordinary business legend to emulate. Virtually all the decisions taken within his companies are influenced by his moral convictions and his values. Miloud Chaabi, listed in Forbes Magazine as one of the top 40 richest billionaires in Africa, is a principled and revered individual who has been spiritually leading his businesses in various sectors since 1948.
