Morocco’s COVID-19 Response Outpaces France, Says French Commentator

"They don’t have our hospital facilities; they don’t have our public services. It’s true. But my Moroccan friends today tell me: ’We have masks available in supermarkets’. [...] How is Morocco able to do what we, the 6th largest power in the world, are not doing? We need to ask ourselves," Karim Zeribi said live on CNews. For the columnist, Morocco is an example to follow. An example for France.

A week ago, the columnist had lavished praise on the kingdom. On his Twitter account, he had posted a photo showing a large quantity of masks sold in Moroccan supermarkets. "Received via a Moroccan doctor living in Casa. Resilience-discipline-responsiveness capacity. The nations we considered powerful find themselves helpless and the emerging ones rather exemplary in dealing with this crisis... To draw lessons from it with humility for us, the French!", he wrote in the caption.
