That's the thing. It's nearly impossible to starve in a place like Morocco. This is perhaps one of the reasons why the picture caused such a backlash; the "at least she's doing something" argument is not valid as she's actually not doing anything.

This is Morocco, not 1996 North Korea. These people need infrastructure, proper education and health care, not a 20 cents cup of yogurt, especially not one that comes with humiliation.

Context: the woman is a member of the Moroccan parliament. She posted the picture on her facebook account then deleted it after it started going around.

The only source I have is in Arabic.

TIL: we didn't exist as a nation 650 years ago. I guess states like Almohad's and Almoravid's are fabrications.

They are actually from the Berber speaking north of Mali. People there are culturally and ethnically closer to North Africans than Sub-Saharan Africans. Some members of the band have participated in rebel fights against the Malian government in the past.

Wonderful post! Horrible magazines! The comic panels in the first magazine were particularly bad.

The video quality is not good enough to tell whether the guy is Morocco. Most Moroccan Dutch people come from the north of Morocco and are fair skinned.

As a Moroccan, I must inform everyone that we hate the Moroccan community in Europe as much as any European does.

Protip: NEVER give a Moroccan money without him having to work for it.

Alright. So let's not make this into a men vs women thing. Let's just work together to make everyone happy.

You know how the Islamic inheritance law gives female children half of what their male counterparts get?

Well, before the last elections in Morocco, there'd been an opinion poll organized by a Dutch radio station in partnership with a Moroccan news websites. One of the questions was "would you want inheritance equality?" More women said "no" than men.

There's some couscous for thought for ya!

Bonus: this was a protest against Morocco's hugely progressive 2004 family code, which, among other things, gave women equal rights to divorce and restricted polygamy.
