At Plug and Play, we are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Fatima Zohra, the beloved mother of King Mohammed VI of Morocco. Our thoughts and prayers are with His Majesty, the Royal Family, and the people of Morocco during this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory bring comfort and strength to all who mourn her loss. ببالغ الحزن وعظيم التأثر، تلقينا نبأ وفاة صاحبة السمو الملكي الأميرة للا لطيفة، والدة صاحب الجلالة الملك محمد السادس، نصره الله وأيده، إلى عفو الله ورحمته. باسم جميع أعضاء و أطر Plug and Play، نتقدم بأحر التعازي إلى صاحب الجلالة الملك محمد السادس وكافة الأسرة الملكية. في هذه اللحظات العصيبة، نسأل الله تعالى أن يتغمد الفقيدة بواسع رحمته ويسكنها فسيح جناته، وأن يلهم صاحب الجلالة الملك وكافة الأسرة الملكية الصبر والسلوان. حفظ الله جلالته وأطال في عمره. إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون. #PNPTCMorocco Ministry of Industry and Trade - Morocco UM6P - Mohammed VI Polytechnic University Moroccan Retail tech Builder STARTGATE
