Aboubakr Jamai is a former Moroccan journalist who now lives in Aix-en-Provence. He says the boycott of Booba is the mirror of an ultra-patriotic atmosphere in Morocco.

Jamai says the case is not necessarily indicative of what Moroccan society thinks. The rapper's concert, scheduled for June 21 in Casablanca, has been deprogrammed for sexist remarks, according to reports. The decision to cancel the concert would merit further investigation, says Jamai.
