A Highly Symbolic French Tribute: Abdellatif Hammouchi Decorated, While the Furious Nihilists Rage
In a context marked by orchestrated and desperate attacks against Morocco’s security institutions, the French Republic has chosen to honour Mr. Abdellatif Hammouchi, Director General the DGSN-DGST hub, for the fourth time. On the occasion of the official visit to Rabat by his French counterpart Louis Laugier, diplomat Christophe Lecourtier presented, on behalf of the French authorities, the medal and certificate of the Legion of Honour in the rank of Officer to Mr. Hammouchi.
This highly symbolic gesture comes at a moment of great significance, sending a series of clear messages. It reaffirms what many already know, both behind the scenes and in public: under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco is a strategic partner of the highest order, and Abdellatif Hammouchi is one of its most credible, respected, and influential figures.
Hammouchi is not merely a trusted security chief; he embodies a new era in security governance—one based on competence, transparency, responsibility, and above all, exemplary discipline. Thanks to his leadership, Morocco’s security institutions have become a regional and international benchmark, praised for their professionalism, operational efficiency, and threat anticipation capabilities.
The decoration awarded today in Rabat is far more than a ceremonial gesture. It crowns a long-standing commitment, field work, and proven intelligence effectiveness. It also reinforces the central role of the General Directorate of National Security and the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, now considered a strategic security hub both regionally and internationally.
This French tribute also serves as a resounding response to detractors at home and abroad—those who persist in undermining Morocco’s security efforts. Whether professional agitators or opportunistic manipulators, their campaigns collapse under each new official recognition and operational success. History does not remember the voices of resentment, but honours those who build with loyalty and results.
The message is crystal clear: Morocco is heard, respected, and actively sought after in international security cooperation forums. And Abdellatif Hammouchi, through his unwavering commitment, integrity, and deep sense of statehood, personifies that credibility. Those hoping to diminish his standing are once again confronted with reality: excellence cannot be defeated by slander.
