Rif Press Online

https://www.rifress.ma/
Rif Press Online is an Arabic‑language news organization based in Nador that serves Morocco’s Rif region. It reports daily on municipal decisions, policing and courts, social issues, and community life, and follows cross‑border developments in the nearby Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. The outlet is the digital arm of the Al‑Obour al‑Sahafi newspaper and operates as a registered publication; its press compliance certificate was issued on 26 July 2019 (No. 02/2019). Coverage ranges from beat reporting and short features to commentary, with regular video and photo reports. Dedicated sections reflect its geographic and cultural focus: Nador and neighboring provinces, national affairs with local angles, Ceuta/Melilla, Tamazight, health and science, culture, and sports. The Tamazight desk highlights Amazigh language policy, education, and arts, mirroring the region’s identity. Publishing director Nabila Hadfi and editor‑in‑chief Benaissa Qamar lead a compact newsroom supported by named contributors, including a sports desk. Stories often track migration routes, border trade and customs, narcotics interdictions on land and sea, youth initiatives, and local clubs, offering context that larger national titles sometimes miss. With phones and a Nador postal address open to reader tips, the outlet functions as a community news hub that amplifies Rif voices while connecting them to national and cross‑Mediterranean dynamics.
