Morocco's King Mohammed VI appoints Fatima Zahra El Mansouri as the nation's first female prime minister

King Mohammed VI has appointed Fatima Zahra El Mansouri as Morocco's first female prime minister following her party's victory in the September 23 parliamentary elections. El Mansouri, a 50-year-old lawyer and former mayor of Marrakesh, leads the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), which won 97 seats but lacks the 198-seat majority needed to govern alone. She must now negotiate a coalition to form a government, facing challenges from youth unemployment, migration, and the massive costs of hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Her appointment makes her the third woman to lead a government in the Arab world, following Tunisia's Najla Bouden and Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri.

Morocco Appoints First Female Prime Minister Amid Youth Disillusionment

King Mohammed VI has appointed Fatima Zahra El Mansouri as Morocco’s first female prime minister, making her the third woman to lead a government in the Arab world. El Mansouri, a 50-year-old lawyer and former mayor of Marrakesh, leads the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), which won 97 seats in the recent elections but lacks the 198-seat majority needed to govern alone. Her appointment follows a period of low voter turnout among youth and protests against government spending on the 2030 FIFA World Cup. She must now negotiate a coalition to form a government, facing opposition from parties like the Justice and Development Party.

Morocco's King Mohammed VI Names Fatima Zahra El Mansouri First Female Prime Minister

Morocco’s PAM wins parliamentary plurality but faces coalition hurdles amid record-low turnout

Morocco’s Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) won the most seats in the September 2026 parliamentary election but failed to secure an outright majority. The monarchy-aligned party took 97 of 395 seats, requiring coalition partners to govern. Turnout dropped to 38 percent, the second-lowest in King Mohammed VI’s reign, driven by youth protests and economic frustration. PAM’s rival, the Justice and Development Party (PJD), quadrupled its seats to 54 but will likely remain in opposition. The incoming government must navigate coalition-building while overseeing preparations for the 2030 World Cup co-hosted with Spain and Portugal.

CDC map highlights Texas and Delaware as top U.S. Naegleria fowleri infections

CDC data show 180 US cases of Naegleria fowleri from 1937–2025, with Texas and Delaware reporting the most exposures; infections are rare but deadly, usually linked to warm freshwater, including recent cases in a Louisiana child and a North Carolina teen. Preventive tips include nose clips or pinching the nose, avoiding digging in shallow water, and keeping the head above water in hot springs.

North Carolina teen dies from rare brain-eating amoeba linked to warm freshwater

A North Carolina teenager has died after contracting Naegleria fowleri, a rare brain-eating amoeba found in warm freshwater. Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) progresses rapidly and is usually fatal within about five days of symptoms; health officials are investigating possible exposure sources. The US typically sees fewer than 10 PAM cases annually, and a separate case in Louisiana involved an eight-year-old girl who died from the same infection.

North Carolina teen dies from rare brain-eating amoeba linked to warm freshwater

A North Carolina teenager, Moises Ponce Mendoza, died Aug. 31 after contracting Naegleria fowleri, a rare brain infection known as PAM. PAM is extremely uncommon and usually fatal, with health officials (NCDHHS and the CDC) investigating potential sources. Preventive steps include avoiding nasal exposure to warm freshwater and using nose clips, boiled water for nasal rinses, and keeping water out of the nose.

Tracking the spread of brain-eating amoeba across U.S. states

A Newsweek article notes that 173 U.S. cases of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) linked to Naegleria fowleri have been recorded from 1937 to 2025, with Texas and Florida reporting the most infections and Virginia and California also seeing cases. A North Carolina teen’s critical illness underscores that the amoeba, found in warm freshwater, remains a rare but deadly threat, usually peaking in hot summer months and often affecting males aged 10–14. The CDC explains transmission through nasal exposure, not drinking water, and advises precautions like nose clips and avoiding nasal immersion in warm waters. Despite its rarity, PAM’s high fatality rate drives public concern.

NC Teen Battles Rare Brain Amoeba; Exposure Location Uncertain

A Central North Carolina teen is critically ill with PAM, a rare brain infection caused by the amoeba Naegleria fowleri linked to warm freshwater. Public details on where the exposure occurred have not been disclosed; state health officials are coordinating with the CDC to investigate potential water sources. Testing for the amoeba is complex and not part of routine water surveillance, and researchers are pursuing cheaper rapid tests to identify risk hotspots. In the meantime, officials urge prevention measures (keeping water out of the nose, avoiding stirring sediment in warm freshwater) and increased public awareness through education and advocacy groups like Amazing Aven’s Quest for Amoeba Awareness.

North Carolina Teen in Critical Condition from Rare Brain-Eating Amoeba

A central North Carolina teenager is critically ill with primary amebic meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria fowleri, typically contracted when contaminated water enters the nose in warm freshwater. The infection is extremely rare and usually fatal, with symptoms like headache, fever, nausea and stiff neck that can progress to seizures and coma. Health officials advise precautions such as nose clips or holding the nose, keeping the head above water, avoiding diving in warm waters during hot periods, and not stirring up lake sediment; the amoeba is not typically found in saltwater or properly chlorinated pools.

Louisiana 8-year-old loses life to rare brain-eating amoeba after freshwater exposure

An 8-year-old girl in Louisiana has died after contracting a brain-eating amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, from freshwater. Infections with this microbe cause primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) and are extremely rare but typically fatal. Transmission occurs when contaminated water enters the nose during swimming or wading in warm, untreated freshwater; it is not spread person-to-person. Health officials urge precautions around warm lakes and rivers, including avoiding nasal exposure and using nose clips or other barriers when possible.

Louisiana Resident Hospitalized After Lake Swim for Rare Brain-Eating Amoeba

A Louisiana resident is hospitalized after contracting primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare brain infection caused by the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri, from swimming in Lake Claiborne. PAM has a about a 97% fatality rate with only four U.S. survivors since 1937. Health officials warn that warm freshwater lakes and inadequately chlorinated pools can harbor the amoeba, and prevention focuses on nose protection when in such waters; there is currently no reliable method to reduce amoebas in water.

Two-stage PamStealer malware stealthily harvests macOS passwords via PAM validation

Researchers uncovered PamStealer, a two-stage macOS infostealer that uses a disk-image lure masquerading as Maccy, a self-contained JavaScript for Automation downloader, and a Rust-based second stage. It validates passwords locally through macOS PAM before exfiltrating credentials, while staying stealthy by disguising as Finder, encrypting C2 traffic, and delaying prompts to avoid detection.
