The International Book Fair in Rabat witnessed a significant event as Moroccan historian <strong>Al-Mu'ti Munjib</strong> was barred from entry, sparking widespread controversy. In contrast, renowned novelist <strong>Tahaar Ben Jelloun</strong> participated as a guest speaker at one of the seminars.
The Rabat Book Fair is celebrating the centenary of Moroccan writer Idriss Chraibi, a significant figure in modern Arabic literature. His works vividly depict the struggle between Western values and Islamic traditions following independence.
UNESCO has announced that Rabat, Morocco, will be the World Book Capital for 2026, succeeding Rio de Janeiro. Celebrations will kick off on April 23, focusing on promoting reading and combating illiteracy in underprivileged communities.
