Yabiladi is a Morocco-focused online news and community outlet founded in 2002 by Mohamed Ezzouak. Published by Web Stratégie, a Casablanca-based company wholly owned by Ezzouak, it was created to connect Morocco with its global diaspora. The newsroom produces daily reporting, interviews and analysis across politics, society, migration, business, culture and sport, with a sustained focus on the lives and concerns of Moroccans abroad as well as readers at home. Its diaspora coverage follows consular issues, immigration policy debates, remittances, and the achievements of Moroccan communities in France, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and beyond. From its origins in French, Yabiladi expanded into Arabic in 2011, Spanish in 2012 and English in 2017, making it one of the few Moroccan media brands publishing in four languages. Beyond news, it maintains an active community forum and services aimed at Moroccans overseas. The organization also operates Radio Yabiladi, a 24/7 webradio that curates Moroccan music through themed channels such as Chaabi Maroc, Azawan Amazigh and Nayda Urban Music, reinforcing cultural ties for listeners worldwide. In 2007 the operation was formalized under Web Stratégie (SARL), which also manages advertising and technology services for the brand. Yabiladi launched the women-focused portal Yabiladies in 2012, reflecting the strong role of female readers in its community. Recognized as a reference point for the Moroccan diaspora, the outlet blends local reporting with a transnational perspective to keep Moroccans—wherever they live—connected to national news and culture.
