BY: Dr. Hana Saada
ALGIERS- In a recent commentary by Moroccan journalist Hamid El Mahdaoui, attention was drawn to the stark difference in media engagement between Algerian President Tebboune and Moroccan King Mohammed VI. El Mahdaoui’s remarks shed light on President Tebboune’s regular interactions with the media, while the Moroccan monarch has not appeared before Moroccan media outlets to address the concerns of the people.
El Mahdaoui emphasized the enthusiastic reception of President Tebboune’s speeches by the Moroccan populace, contrasting it with the minimal exposure Moroccan citizens have had to their king’s communication with the media over his 25-year reign.
“Summary of the Moroccan People’s Interaction with the Algerian President’s Speech:
We will continue to follow President #Tebboune’s speeches eagerly as long as King #MohammedVI has not appeared before the Moroccan media in his 25 years of rule, addressing thousands of issues and concerns of the ordinary citizen spontaneously and without preparation,” tweeted Hamid El Mahdaoui.

President Tebboune’s periodic engagement with the media stands in stark contrast to the apparent absence of such interactions by King Mohammed VI in Morocco. While Algerians eagerly follow President Tebboune’s speeches, Moroccans are left wanting for substantive engagement from their own monarch through the media.
President Tebboune’s engagement with the media demonstrates a dedication to transparency, accountability, and receptiveness, serving as a commendable model for leaders throughout the region. In Algeria’s journey towards advancement and growth, President Tebboune’s proactive engagement with the media stands as a fundamental aspect of efficient governance and public involvement.
