The north African country’s biggest building materials manufacturer, Lafarge Ciments, says demand for its cement is likely to grow this year thanks to the social housing projects. SOCIAL STABILITY The scheme was launched after 14 young men from the slums set off bombs in the centre of Casablanca in May 2003, killing 45 people including themselves. It was a shock for a country proud of its social stability and showed the growing influence of radical Islamic preachers in neighbourhoods abandoned by the state. Most of the bombers were from Sidi Moumen, home to thousands of breeze-block shacks with metal roofs held down by rocks. Barefoot children hop between stagnant puddles in narrow alleyways, past sheep and cows picking over piles of rubbish. Young men feed and clothe their families by shining shoes or selling offal, fruit and herbs from carts and recycling scrap metal.

Winter floods send rats scurrying through living rooms and in summer the sun beats down on the corrugated iron roofs, turning homes into ovens. Several unofficial mosques opened in Sidi Moumen in the 1990s, some with radical imams who organised vigilante squads to patrol the slums and punish crime and immoral behaviour. The mosques were closed or demolished after the 2003 attacks, when the state tightened control over religious preaching. More radicalised youths from Sidi Moumen blew themselves up in 2007, killing a police officer, and for many Moroccans Sidi Moumen is still a byword for extremism.

“When a bus passes by with Sidi Moumen marked as its destination, passers-by sometimes shout ‘Boom!’”, said former resident Saida Fikri. Young men from the slums say the police still avoid their neighbourhoods and basic services are still lacking. GUARDED OPTIMISM Whereas promises to rehouse the slum dwellers were once dismissed as a bad joke, today there is guarded optimism. Fikri teamed up with another slum dweller to buy two floors of an apartment block on an estate on the edge of Casablanca. They paid 70,000 dirhams ($8,000) of which the state gave back 30,000.

A FIRST-HALF goal from the home striker Antti Pohja threatened to upset St Johnstone’s Uefa Cup campaign in Finland yesterday, but Nathan Lowndes came to the rescue with a late equaliser for the Perth side in this first qualifying round first-leg game.
The Saints’ defence was caught out in the 40th minute as Pohja was found in acres of space in the box from Jassa Jallonen’s pass, and he shot low past Alan Main.Sandy Clark’s men were looking to qualify for the first round proper and they had several chances to gain the upper hand.

The governing body has withdrawn its threat to suspend the league’s clubs, so tomorrow’s fixtures will take place – but without Barrow.Instead, the Bluebirds will hold talks with the UniBond League over the next few days. That would have meant the postponement of tomorrow’s opening round of fixtures and the exclusion of clubs in the league from the FA Cup.This week the FA has rejected Barrow’s appeal against their expulsion from the Conference, but it has softened its stance towards the UniBond. The UniBond initially refused to accept Barrow – and was last week threatened with suspension by the FA. After talks with the club and with Conference officials, the game’s governing body ruled that Barrow should play this season at the level they would have occupied had they been relegated from the Conference ordinarily: the UniBond League Premier Division. The First North Western Trains League even produced a provisional fixture list for the season which included Barrow, who were given a home fixture against Formby tomorrow.Then the Football Association intervened.
