Cawalisse (CAWALISSE ALYOUME is a Moroccan Arabic-language online newspaper established in 2012. Edited by journalist Mohamed Bouhdali, who serves as director of publication and editor-in-chief, the outlet publishes daily news and commentary focused on Moroccan public life. Coverage spans national politics and government, security and justice, the monarchy’s official activities, city and regional affairs, sports, culture, and opinion columns. Beyond short updates, Cawalisse produces original reporting. Examples include a 2013 investigation into clandestine treasure‑hunting networks and ritual abuse, on‑the‑ground coverage from the Crans Montana Forum in Dakhla in 2015, and 2016 reporting that raised public concerns about cracks on the Hassan II Bridge linking Rabat and Salé. The newsroom also carries official statements and field reports on public safety and institutional developments. To reach readers on mobile, Cawalisse launched iOS and Android applications in 2014. Its audience is primarily Arabic‑speaking Moroccans inside the country and in the diaspora who want fast updates alongside explanatory pieces and opinion essays. Contributors include staff reporters and guest columnists, and the publication maintains a steady cadence of daily posts across beats. Operating continuously since 2012, Cawalisse has carved out a role as a familiar source for security news, government announcements, royal activities, and regional coverage, while preserving space for analysis and debate within Morocco’s evolving media landscape.
