Tuesday, 21 July 2015

The Embassy of Morocco in Paris expressed its surprise at the intrusion of its headquarters, Monday afternoon, by seven people of sub-Saharan origin including 2 women who chanted slogans against the kingdom and especially against its migration policy.

In an official statement, the embassy said that these people, in an organized manner, forced their way into the embassy and headed to the office of the Ambassador, adding that they chanted slogans hostile to Morocco and especially its migration policy and have made arrangements to film the happenings.

These people left the scene after a long argument with the Embassy security officers, the source added expressing "its surprise at the intrusion and the slogans, especially that Morocco is the only African country to conduct a comprehensive migration policy, open and generous, hailed at the continental and international level. "

This policy has already enabled the regularization of nearly 20,000 migrants, mainly from sub-Saharan Africa, the statement said, noting that economic and social integration measures, guaranteeing a treatment similar to that reserved for Moroccan citizens, have also been implemented.

"The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco denounces this premeditated and orchestrated act by third parties, known for their permanent hostility to Morocco's interests and aimed at undermining the image of the Kingdom," said the same source.

"These provocative actions only reinforce Morocco's commitment to the service of peace and development of the Continent, as part of the solidary African policy under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, and based on the centuries-old ties between Moroccan people and their African counterparts, "the statement said, revealing that the Embassy of Morocco filed a complaint with the competent French authorities, attaching the relevant video recordings.

The Embassy also advised the diplomatic services to take adequate measures, the statement concluded.
