Moroccan port strategy tested on the ground : the case of Agadir port
No full textContext and background
This research evaluates the implementation of Morocco's National Port Strategy 2030 through the study of the port of Agadir, designated as an "interregional balancing hub". The choice of this topic is driven by the crucial importance of ports in the Moroccan economy and the need to assess territorial rebalancing policies. Morocco has undertaken a reform of its port system to correct historical imbalances, particularly the concentration of activities in the port of Casablanca. The 2030 strategy aims to create a polycentric system with six complementary port hubs.
Goal and Objectives:
The objective is to analyze the gap between strategic planning and its effective implementation by identifying structural and governance constraints. The study aims to understand the capacity of the port of Agadir to assume its role as an interregional balancing hub.
Methodology:
The methodology combines the examination of strategic documents (National Port Strategy 2030, National Ports Agency reports), institutional reports and development plans (Master Urban Development Plan, Regional Development Plan) with field investigations into the state of infrastructure and project progress. A comparative approach with other Moroccan ports and spatial analysis using ArcGIS software complete the approach.
Results:
The results reveal significant delays in structural projects (cruise terminal, shipyard relocation, rail connection) and identify several major constraints: lack of railway connectivity, land scarcity due to urban proximity, and governance challenges related to the multiplicity of actors. The study concludes that there are difficulties in materializing an ambitious national vision in the face of local realities, despite the strategic potential of the por
Which digital transformation strategies can support the development of the justice system in Morocco?
No full textIn Morocco, as in many countries around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic compelled authorities to declare a state of public health emergency, which came into effect on March 20, 2020. This unprecedented situation necessitated the implementation of mechanisms to ensure the continuity and maintenance of public services despite the strict confinement measures imposed to curb the spread of the virus.
Within this context, the Ministry of Justice adapted to these exceptional circumstances by adopting Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). This digital shift aimed, on one hand, to sustain and enhance the performance of judicial administration, and on the other hand, to facilitate interaction and communication between the judiciary and its various users and stakeholders
Les frontières maritimes ouest-africaines sont-elles réellement délimitées ?
No full textLes différends relatifs à la délimitation maritime en Afrique de l’Ouest connaissent depuis deux décennies un regain d’intérêt en raison de la conjonction de facteurs énergétiques, géopolitiques et environnementaux. L’exploitation accrue des ressources offshore, la sécurisation des zones économiques exclusives et la montée des enjeux liés à la durabilité et à la gouvernance des océans ont placé la question des frontières maritimes au cœur du droit international contemporain.
Cet article analyse, à la lumière de la Convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer de 1982 (CNUDM), les principes juridiques régissant la délimitation des espaces maritimes et leur application dans le contexte ouest-africain. Il met en évidence la distinction fondamentale entre la fixation unilatérale des limites extérieures des zones maritimes et la délimitation bilatérale ou juridictionnelle entre États voisins.
À travers l’étude des pratiques étatiques, de la jurisprudence et des accords régionaux, l’étude met en lumière l’émergence d’un “droit africain de la mer”, combinant équité, coopération et durabilité.
L’analyse conclut en soulignant la nécessité d’une approche régionale intégrée fondée sur la bonne gouvernance maritime et la solidarité entre États côtiers, condition essentielle pour la stabilité juridique et le développement durable de la façade atlantique africaine

Phenylamine as Inhibitor for the Corrosion of Aluminum in Acidic Medium
No full textThe inhibition ability of phenylamine on corrosion of aluminium in phosphoric acid solution was investigated through weight loss method and characterized by using scanning electron microscopic and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis. The obtained results show that phenylamine served as a very good inhibitor in protecting the metal against the corrosive action of phosphoric acid. Generally, the inhibition efficiency increased with increase of inhibitor concentration and decreased with increase in temperature. Corrosion rate increases in both inhibited and uninhibited solution but significantly decreased further in the presence of inhibitor. The positive values of enthalpy prove the endothermic nature of the dissolution process and the negative values of Gibbs free energy of adsorption prove the spontaneity of the entire process. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of aluminium in phosphoric acid was found to obey Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The result of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confirmed the existence of an absorbed protective film on the metal surface.
