Moroccan pens polite complaint about the country he loves
In 2007, when Fouad Lakhdar came to Mexico to sell handcrafted Moroccan products, he thought it would be for six months. But he dove into life here, eventually starting a restaurant, becoming president of his local business association, getting a home mortgage, getting married to a Mexican woman, earning several advanced degrees in addition to the bachelor’s degree in philosophy he already had, becoming a registered translator (of classical and Moroccan Arabic) and a lawyer specializing in human rights, and, along the way, becoming a Mexican citizen.
