few years ago, scientists had discovered fossils in the basement of Mibladen (10 km north of Midelt) the skeleton of a gigantic marine fish. Laymen spoke of a marine dinosaur that dates, depending on local geology, the period in which the high eastern Moulouya
was under the sea Under other skies, this discovery would have interested policy makers in local, regional and even the minister. A
Midelt, the discovery of marine fish is ignored. The elect of the locality where the discovery took place did not even go there. Her response to him who had spoken was "Mayd rikh adikh sighssan" (I did nothing to make bones).
He knew the historical value of such a discovery, and with such bones as well as fossils which abound in the region, it could for example create a museum that would interest the children in the region and the thousands of tourists each year through Midelt.
In my humble opinion, the overwhelming majority of our elected illiterate needs in his daily work of the contribution of intellectuals.
In the West, intellectuals are solicited by politicians of all stripes, they never stop working for local councils and even political parties who are constantly seeking to know the discomfort of their country and to find solutions and new ideas. Our intellectuals
to us, especially in rural communities, remain outside structure. They chose to be free and free from coercion, but that does not mean they do not think of their country. Most volunteers are providing local decision-makers so request. Without the support of intellectuals, the rural councils will continue to spin in circles.
