Maroc Hebdo is a French-language Moroccan weekly political magazine.
History
Maroc Hebdo was established in 1991 by Mohammed Selhami in Casablanca. Mohammed Selhami also edited it. In January 2005, it changed to the magazine format.
The editorial stance of Maroc Hebdo is pro-government. In 2013 the magazine sold 6,265 copies.
Controversies
In 2012, the magazine faced criticism for racism due to its cover titled "Le péril noir", featuring the face of a Sub-Saharan migrant.
On 12 June 2015, it published an issue with a homophobic cover saying, "Shall we burn homosexuals?". Due to ensuing global outrage at the incitement of hatred, all copies were recalled.
