News Director Samira Sitaïl Says Farewell to Moroccan TV Channel '2M'

Rabat - The news director of "2M", Samira Sitaïl, has left the channel after 30 years of service, the channel announced on Friday.

Sitaïl, who joined "2M" in 1990 as a journalist-presenter, carved out an exceptional career within 2M, according to a statement received by MAP.

A journalist-reporter, she did the first major report ever devoted to prostitution: "Les fleurs du Mal", and directed the first series of major reports dedicated to Moroccan expatriates, the same source points out.

Journalist and presenter of debate programs such as "L'homme en question", "pour tout vous dire", "edition speciale" and "invite special", she interviewed several heads of State and other prominent personalities such as Nelson Mandela, Ban Ki Moon, Hillary Clinton, Shimon Perez, José-Maria Aznar, Macky Sall, François Mitterand and Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta.

As a documentary maker, she directed an unprecedented film, one of the most striking of the Moroccan audiovisual landscape, "Memoires d’exil", in which she retraces the journey of the late HM Mohammed V and the Royal Family after being forced into exile in Madagascar (1953) by the French colonial authority.
