changing a language is not a game.

the real administrative language in Morocco is French. not even Arabic.

the state had already tried a lot to give more place to Arabic during 50 years, and still French is dominant.

ask your parents, all schools starting by elementary were teaching in French. and every every thing except religious affairs were done in French. now it's different after a half century of efforts. and now you're asking us to spend even more time to introduce a new language to our messy administrations?

add to that, Morocco has two cultural sides in the international scene. French and Arabic (Amazighen is local/ north African) consequently in Africa as example, the french speaking countries are morocco's allies in Sahara affairs. But, those who use English are on the other side (Nigeria, Kenya, S.Africa...). so the cultural side can't be ignored, it's a fact that being closer to French speakers affect our diplomatic relationships. and leaving it may cause many troubles.

there is other reasons too. but let's stop here.

I'm not trying to introduce a new language, i'm just trying to correct a weird situation...
Even French are learning English so it's really weird to keep french as a second language.
It's so important to know that the only beneficiary from this situation is France not Morocco...it keeps us in its sphere of domination and makes us dependent of itself...
English will allow us to expand our horizons and get new allies in the international scene.
