This is being reported as “is this even a news agency?” and to be honest, I’m not finding a lot saying one way or the other.

I’m leaning toward leaving it alone because:

a) I don’t see anything calling them out as not legitimate.

b) Searching the text of the article doesn’t show it being a copy/paste from somewhere else. That was the problem we had with ANOTHER African news site.

c) The news agency they cite, ‘Al Ahdath Al Maghribia’, definitely IS legitimate.

d) We don’t see enough news related to Africa and frankly, it’s a little nice seeing something that isn’t “Israel, Israel, Israel, Ukraine, Israel, Ukraine, Ukraine, Palestine.”

If anyone finds anything to the contrary, let me know. It does seem sus that searching for this news agency mostly turns up articles BY them and not a lot ABOUT them.
