Morocco rejects Haifa Wahbi


Mystery surrounds the decision by Moroccan authorities to deny Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi entry to the Kingdom where the popular singer was to to hold a charity concert for HIV research. After submitting a request for permission to enter the country, Haifa was surprisingly denied.

The European sponsor of the event was forced to relocate the concert to Tunisia, where Haifa is more than welcome to perform. The purposed concert will take place on April 10. This will be a popular decision in Tunisia return as Haifa recently held a spectacular performance in there after she received a special invitation from Tunisia’s Joy Youth Association. The head of the association presented the singer with an honorary award in front of 7 thousands spectators.

Many young Moroccans are expected to travel to Tunisia for the latest concert.

Haifa Wahbi has joined the ‘British Breast Friend Association’ that will sell personal photographs of several international stars worldwide, and proceeds go directly to support women with breast cancer.

Haifa is a firm favourite in the Arab world with recent live concerts alongside Lebanese singer Wael Kfoury in Abu Dhabi, a private concert in celebration of the launching of a new international perfume, in Dubai and in the beginning of April Haifa will begin shooting the first scenes of the new film "Too Bad for Them" produced by Lebanese-American producer Elli Samaha and directed by Randa Alshahal.

Wahbi remains on her successful journey through the music world. She continues to break the record for most attended performances, the latest being in Muscat, which drew an audience of over 150 thousand.

Given the above, the question needs to be asked "why are young Moroccan's missing out?"

UPDATE: Haifa gets in to Morocco

Why the hell people like "anonymus" use to say that she's a naked singer?? She sings with sexy dresses, not naked. She just doesn't sing with hijab or traditional dress, she joined the occidental way of dresssing, thats not to be naked!
