With 8 million Covid-19 immunizations carried out, Morocco is leading the way, French magazine Le Point writes on Sunday, pointing out that since the outbreak of the pandemic, the Kingdom has “once again demonstrated its know-how.”
“From a sanitary point of view, after having reached in 2020 the autonomy of protection by manufacturing masks and then exporting them, the kingdom is continuing the momentum by vaccinating at high frequency,” notes the French publication in its Maghreb Letter.
As of April 2, the country claims to have vaccinated 3.8 million Moroccans with two doses and 4.3 million with one dose “against 53,000 in Tunisia and 75,000 in Algeria. A gap,” Le Point points out.
Comparison between Morocco and Algeria is “all the more painful for the political egos since it is not a question of money, the purchasing capacity of Algiers is not questioned by anyone”, adds Le Point, noting that the “war of doses” is won by influence. “Algiers suffers from its lack of foreign policy due to internal crisis.”
“Faced with the international diplomacy of the vaccine, each country plays its part. With 8 million vaccinations done, Morocco is leading the way,” noted the magazine.
To date, “Morocco can affirm to its population and the international opinion that its verbal voluntarism is followed by effect, while its neighbors are struggling,” the publication concludes.
