Rabat – A group of Polisario supporters stormed a peaceful demonstration by the Moroccan diaspora in Paris on Saturday.
Moroccan protesters expressed their solidarity with the action in Rabat on November 13 against the separatist group in Guerguerat.
A video shows Polisario supporters violently attacking members of the Moroccan diaspora, who demonstrated in Paris on Saturday to show their support for Morocco’s operation to secure the Guerguerat border crossing.
The Polisario militiamen had carried out provocation maneuvers in Guerguerat since September and on October 21 a traffic blockade between Morocco and Mauritania began.
The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) intervened in the region to ensure the flow of commercial and civil traffic, which won international applause, including from the Moroccan diaspora.
Members of the Moroccan diaspora in various European countries, including Denmark, Spain and now France, held demonstrations to show their support for the action.
Videos from Saturday’s demonstration in Paris show a group of Polisario members kicking and trying to hurt Moroccan protesters with their separatist “flags.”
Moroccans met the attacks with patriotic slogans, waving the country’s flag.
Some Moroccans can also be heard praising King Mohammed VI and calling Polisario supporters “traitors.”
Online videos also show a group of Polisario supporters attacking a Moroccan woman for trying to defend the Moroccan flag.
One of the videos shows the woman screaming and trying to flee from violent attacks by separatists.
Moroccan activists strongly condemned the attacks and paid tribute to the woman for her bravery in standing up to Polisario supporters.
Some activists condemned the attacks and called for a legal case to punish the violent perpetrators.
Despite the attack, the Moroccan diaspora in Paris expressed their determination to continue supporting their homeland.
The Moroccan state media cited some activists who participated in the demonstration, declaring their solidarity with all the decisions of Rabat.
“Love for the Sahara runs through the veins of all Moroccans. The Sahara has always been Moroccan and will remain so for eternity ”, said Naima Demnati, president of the Coeur Mediterranean association.
Mohamed Rakoub, president of the Franco-Moroccan Friendship Association, said that the Moroccan Sahara remains the first question for Moroccans around the world.
This is not the first time that Polisario supporters have carried out a violent attack against Moroccans abroad.
Earlier this month, a group of separatists stormed the Moroccan consulate general in Valencia, Spain. Some of the separatists withdrew the Moroccan flag from the consulate to raise their own “flag.”
The governments of Morocco and Spain condemned the violent attack.
