Rabat – Morocco will not tolerate the provocative maneuvers waged by the enemies of territorial integrity inside and outside the Kingdom, said, on Wednesday, Foreign Minister, Taïb Fassi Fihri.

Speaking at the House of the Representatives question time on the latest developments on the Sahara issue, Fassi Fihri said these maneuvers take place as Morocco had achieved progress in this issue, noting that the enemies of the Kingdom constantly seek to stall the process and impose a status quo situation to prolong the conflict.

Algeria has set up a strategy to undermine the efforts made by Morocco to defend its territorial integrity by maintaining the status quo and calling up on the referendum, an option considered null and void, he said.

To this end, Fassi Fihri said, Algeria has mobilized huge financial and diplomatic means to give the impression that the situation in the southern provinces is instable.

The Minister said the Moroccan initiative to grant substantial autonomy to its southern provinces has created a dynamic leading towards a solution to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara. This initiative considers negotiation as the sole path meant to put an end to this artificial conflict, Fassi Fihri said.

He also underlined that the UN General Assembly and the Security Council have worked out a consensual and realist political solution which rules out the option of independence he described as unrealistic.

Home is where the heart is but is your home missing something? Maybe what your home really needs is a little design here and there and something really classic to enhance the entire decor.

If you find a home with Moroccan décor then be rest assured that either they have traveled to Morocco to find it or they have found it through specialists like us. Moroccan Decor is rare but its uniqueness comes from the fact that it has influences of Moroccan history, culture and art. Moroccan lighting is also a part of the same influence and brings with it the geometric forms, vivid colors, and exotic designs, which have long been the symbol of Moroccan decor.

One of the exotic Moroccan lanterns also known as the henna lamps is made from stretched goat skin and is decorated with exquisite designs. The designs are all hand painted and based on traditional henna designs. Some of the designs are also dyed with paprika or saffron based dyes and is the ultimate decoration piece for your living room.

Moroccan lamps are also known as Moroccan lanterns and can be added to an existing wrought iron chandelier to bring a warmth and delightfully appealing freshness to your home.
With Moroccan lighting, you can get your true creative spirit working and use them to recreate a truly exotic Moroccan oasis.

Using Moroccan lighting

You can try and use various types of wattage to get different looks in terms of design and brightness. You can also experiment a little and use a candle especially if you are using the Moroccan lantern in a small space. While using henna lamps or henna wall sconces, you can try a low wattage to get the right ambience – it will provide a very romantic feel.

Maintenance of your Moroccan lighting
When it comes to the maintenance of Moroccan lighting then you can feel good about the fact that the maintenance cost is as good as zero. Another salient point is that unlike tubes and bulbs or even candles, the Moroccan lanterns can last for almost a lifetime. The only maintenance required involves lubrication of the side door hinges. This lubrication can be done once in a while or during the rainy season. If you choose the henna lamps or the henna wall sconce then they don’t require any maintenance at all.

You will have to also spray the Moroccan lanterns with a sealant, which will prevent gathering of rust. The other way is to use sealant on each and every metal part and for this you will have to take the glass of first. Either ways, the use of sealant will increase the longetivity of the lanterns and provide you with enough luminance to last a lifetime.
