That's a solid point, I think Aguerd even went to the very first batch if I'm not mistaken.

Romain Saïss honors people like me who bear a French first name and and Arabic last name, born and raised in France yet proud of Morrocan heritage.
There is an ongoing big push by Morocco to have a competent training center for youngsters in Salé but Morocco will not hate anything from its diaspora, would it be Dutch or French or Canadian (Bono).
This team to me symbolise how despite being from different backgrounds, when everyone gets on the same page, it's possible to do great things. Together.
What a joy to witness them succeed.

Reply to Toblerone chocolate to cut iconic Matterhorn logo from packaging due to ‘Swissness’ laws by elizabeth-cooper
Swiss people don't fuck with the origin of the products they buy.
Everything Swiss made will have probably a Swiss cross somewhere, if some subproduct is of Swiss origin, it's clearly stated.
I remember seeing some kind of oniony article in newspaper last year about Zweifel, local potato chips company, being in trouble because they had to re-label thousands of potato chips bags as due to bad harvest in Aargau, they had to import potatoes from Germany and they could not keep the "Swiss potatoes" label.
They could have not given a fuck but if discovered, Swiss people would consider that high treason. It's probably why it made the news in the first place.
