In an exclusive interview with Morocco World News (MWN), Hasna Arrach, sales manager at Agenz, shared what makes working in real estate so rewarding, from helping families find their dream home to supporting sellers as they move on to their next chapter.

In particular, Arrach highlighted Agenz’s philosophy that “real estate should be simpler, more transparent, and more human.” At the heart of the company's relationship with clients are radical trust and transparency, the manager argued.

While the job can be challenging because every client comes with different expectations, emotions, and concerns, Arrach noted, patience, responsiveness, and human connection remain invaluable assets that lighten the profession's other burdens.

Morocco’s electoral law tells candidates which colors they cannot use. Posters and unofficial campaign material may not carry red or green, or combine the two. Campaigning is barred inside places of worship, schools, vocational training centers, and public administrations.

Those rules took hold Thursday, when the official campaign for the September 23 legislative elections opened at midnight, sending 27 parties into a contest for the 395 seats of the House of Representatives.

The campaign runs 13 days and closes at midnight on September 22. More than 15.8 million voters are registered – 15,801,162 by official count – split 54% men and 46% women. Urban voters make up 55% of the roll, rural voters 45%.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez clashed with Vox leader Santiago Abascal during a heated parliamentary exchange over the migrant crisis in Ceuta.

Abascal accused Sanchez of mishandling the situation and questioned whether Morocco was allegedly pressuring or blackmailing the Spanish government over purported information concerning Sanchez and his family.

The Vox leader also branded Sánchez a “traitor” and a “dog” during the confrontation.

Sánchez hit back, saying: “Unlike you, I may be a dog but I have no master.”

The European Commission granted Spain €114.7 million ($130 million) in emergency assistance on Wednesday to manage the migration crisis in the occupied enclave of Ceuta, framing the money as an act of “solidarity” with Madrid.

The funding answers the large-scale crossings of July 30 and 31, when tens of thousands of migrants entered the enclave from Moroccan territory. Spanish officials initially put the number at more than 70,000, though Madrid has since cited figures exceeding 80,000, with the estimate shifting each time officials discuss the arrivals. Scores of people died, most by drowning as they tried to swim around a breakwater.

Spain requested the aid on August 24, and the Commission treated the file as a priority. The money combines €82.7 million from the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and €32 million from the Border Management and Visa Instrument, a package worth roughly $130 million.

Morocco’s results in the PISA 2025 assessment point to continued challenges in student performance across reading, mathematics, and science.

Moroccan students recorded average scores of 321 in reading, 355 in mathematics, and 358 in science, all below the respective OECD averages. Morocco ranked 87th out of 90 countries in reading, 80th out of 90 in mathematics, and 83rd out of 91 in science.

The assessment also found that 73.2% of Moroccan students did not reach the minimum proficiency level across the three subjects, compared with 19.7% across the OECD. Only 13% reached Level 2 or above in reading, 16% in mathematics, and 23% in science.

Compared with PISA 2022, Morocco’s reading score fell by 18 points, while mathematics declined by 10 points. Science recorded a 7-point decrease that was not statistically significant.

The infographic provides an overview of Morocco’s PISA 2025 performance, including global rankings, proficiency levels, high performers, changes since 2022, and gender score differences.

Algeria has decided to cut diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates, state media reported Thursday, citing the "exhaustion of all means to preserve bilateral ties." The report offered no further detail on the reason for the move.

The rupture caps years of strain. Algerian outlets have repeatedly accused Abu Dhabi of sowing regional discord, and President Abdelmadjid Tebboune last year called ties with every Gulf state warm except one, in a thinly veiled reference to the UAE. Tensions climbed further in February, when Algiers moved to cancel a 2013 air services agreement.

INPPLC President Mohamed Benalilou and ICAC Commissioner Danny Woo signed the memorandum on September 8, according to a statement issued by the Moroccan authority on September 9.

The agreement establishes “a structured and sustainable institutional framework” for relations between the two institutions, while providing for the exchange of expertise and knowledge, capacity building, and the development of joint initiatives in combating corruption.

Only 21% of Moroccans consider immigrants good for the country’s economy, one of the lowest shares among 38 African countries, according to Afrobarometer’s latest Pan-Africa Profile. Another 36% judge their economic impact negatively, while 35% consider it neither good nor bad.

The findings draw on Round 10 of the survey network, covering 50,961 interviews across 38 countries in 2024 and 2025. Fieldwork in Morocco took place in February and March 2024. The report treats attitudes toward migration as one measure of social cohesion, alongside trust, tolerance, identity, institutional fairness, and civic cooperation.

Across the continent, Africans are almost evenly divided on immigration’s economic value, with 45% assessing it positively and 44% negatively. North Africa, comprising Morocco, Mauritania, and Tunisia, records the most skeptical regional picture, with 55% viewing immigration’s economic impact negatively and only 23% positively.
