Renaissance Volcano’s welcome to the “Union of Algeria” restores common Maghreb values

The Moroccans gave the Algerian Football Association team and its crew a warm welcome, led by milk, dates, and welcome slogans. It is an act of welcome that is “very familiar” to the Moroccan people, who decided this time to put behind their back the insulting behavior that the Renaissance Volcanic team was subjected to at Houari Boumediene Airport last week due to T-shirts containing the full map of Morocco; This hindered the holding of the first leg of the “CAF Cup” semi-final between the two sports teams.

It seems that the welcome to the USMA (Islamic Sports Federation of Algiers), which was admired by Moroccans on various social networking sites, demonstrated the Moroccan’s insistence “not to make any reaction that contradicts their values.” This is what observers commented on, saying: Algeria forcibly introduced politics into sports, despite the lack of complete separation between them. But by welcoming the Algerian team, Morocco introduced Moroccan values, which are originally Maghreb, into the field of sports.

Solid core

Zakaria Akadid, a researcher in social psychology, said that “the Moroccan’s behavior while welcoming the opposing team, days after the confiscation of the Moroccan team’s shirts, returned the values ​​to their original starting point: the Moroccan sphere,” explaining: “This space has one values, which politics is stubbornly trying to corrupt.” But there are people who adhere to it, and a political will that may contribute from abroad to its care, and this is what the Moroccan citizen did.”

Akadid explained, in a statement to Hespress, that “the common is stronger than the circumstantial political climates that can charge individuals into a temporary political situation and involve them in extremist discourses.” Referring to Algeria, Akadid considered that some actors in the Maghreb insist on including everything in the category of politics, which is a trick that further deceives its motive. This calls for a rational actor, such as Morocco, to invoke geographical expansion.

Because the perspective of values ​​is an opportunity to focus on the Moroccan self, and then the Maghreb, the researcher touched on “the importance of this Moroccan movement, in embodying common values ​​and triumphing over them, especially the value of honoring the guest and not making him feel any kind of insult,” and he said: Morocco’s behavior is a distinct communicative behavior that does not represent… Defending him means flattering the political actor; It is an act that expresses civilization and the solid core of the Moroccan self, when it proposes to stand at the corner of the charged political and ideological discourse, without stepping on it.

Generous power

Mehdi Amri, a writer and university researcher in communicative action, said: “In the midst of the successive crises that are ravaging the world, Morocco stands out as a unique model in dealing with these challenges, drawing its strength from the wisdom and tolerance of Islam, and adhering to the values ​​of generosity and tolerance rooted in its culture,” adding: There Political tensions dominate the scene in many countries, but Morocco chose a different approach, distancing sports from political conflicts, thus enhancing the values ​​of coexistence and respect between peoples.

Amri recorded, in a statement he presented to Hespress, that Morocco’s approach towards the USM team clearly embodies Moroccan Islamic values, as it emphasizes the importance of dialogue and understanding between different cultures and rejects intolerance and violence in all its forms. He explained: Morocco’s distinction was not limited to the wisdom of its approach only, but He also demonstrated his generosity and tolerance, as Moroccans are known for their good hospitality and generosity towards their guests, as happened with a team whose country’s authorities subjected a Moroccan team to torture.

The spokesman pointed out that “this unique model presented by the Kingdom of Morocco constitutes a source of inspiration for the whole world, and proves that wisdom and tolerance are the best way to resolve crises and promote peace and prosperity,” concluding that “Morocco, thanks to the wisdom of its leadership and its peace-loving people, continues the path of progress and development, and contributes to Effectively in establishing the values ​​of coexistence and respect between peoples, Maghreb or others.”
