Content overview: “Morocco Makes History: Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri Becomes First Woman PM”. In a historic move, King Mohammed VI of Morocco appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri as the country's first woman prime minister on Tuesday. The appointment follows the victory of her centre-right Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) in last week's parliamentary elections. El Mansouri, who has been a member of PAM since 2008, previously served as mayor of Marrakesh, becoming the first woman to hold that office in 2009.

Her leadership comes at a time when Morocco faces various economic and social challenges, and her experience as mayor of a major city will be closely watched as she transitions to the national stage.
