Youssef Aabou, a famous Moroccan communicator with a large number of followers on social media, denounced existing campaigns against Morocco orchestrated by political rivals, such as Algeria.
Youssef Aabou is head of the Misaha communication platform and has, for example, 1,800,000 followers on Facebook and 6,000,000 million on YouTube, which gives him a large audience for the messages he launches. This should be kept in mind when analyzing certain questions.
One of them concerns the campaigns launched against Morocco, which the Moroccan communicator denounces.
“The media campaigns to which Morocco is the subject have a common objective: to harm the image of the Kingdom and try to weaken its influence, which everyone sees, and which some ignore,” said Youssef Aabou.
“This influence is known to everyone, but hidden by some of our compatriots, either through ignorance or through Machiavellianism. It was predictable that the attractiveness of Morocco on the international level, particularly after having hosted major international and sporting events, as well as the dynamic of development which is looming on the horizon, pushed internal and external parties to denigrate and attempt to undermine the confidence of national and international public opinion,” said Aabou himself, referring to the attacks against the Moroccan kingdom at a time when the nation is going through a great moment both internally and externally. A favorable situation thanks to a great period of social and economic development with important development programs carried out by the Moroccan State under the directives of King Mohammed VI and also thanks to effective external diplomacy which has reaped numerous successes such as support of more than 100 countries to Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara.
Aabou points the finger at the enemies of the Moroccan kingdom, which “is experiencing real growth in all areas, aiming to arouse the jealousy and envy of those who see our country as an enemy and to undermine the morale of men, His Majesty the King at the head, in the hope of seeing our train slow down and not move forward.
Among these campaigns, there is the one allegedly led by Ali Aarras, which was singled out by Morocco at the time for alleged jihadist terrorism, regarding the issue of massive assaults on the border posts of Ceuta and Melilla by illegal migrants. These campaigns point the finger at Morocco and the Moroccan security services for the treatment of people who attempted to illegally cross the borders of Ceuta and Melilla from Morocco to Spain.
“In recent days we have witnessed a sad situation in which thousands of young people have tried to emigrate through the city of Ceuta. These young people respond to the initiative and the call to head simultaneously and en masse towards the Ceuta border. Then, suddenly, certain media and social media accounts broadcast strange images in order to shock Moroccan citizens and push them into confrontation with the state, but also to tarnish the country’s image in international public opinion. , denounced Aabou.
“They are trying to sow confusion and undermine the confidence of national and international public opinion in the Moroccan state and its institutions, and among them is Ali Aarrass, who is aligned with the Rif separatists, and who took advantage of the celebration of the Fête de l’Humanité in Paris this year to once again promote accusations against the Moroccan security services,” underlined Youssef Aabou.
Youssef Aabou wonders about the reasons for this situation. “And why are we diverting attention from the social aspects which led to these events and from the government responses which must be made to reduce the unaffordable cost of living for the citizen in a difficult and tense economic period? Why do we focus on the security forces and their intervention on the aspect of migrants, instead of recognizing that this point is only part of a set of events where economic factors intertwine , political, cultural and historical? », asks the Moroccan communicator.
“The crux of the problem is the decline of Moroccan security forces and the prejudice they face from various parties, both inside and outside the country. These media campaigns aim to weaken the police institution at all costs. The end therefore justifies the means for those behind these malicious activities,” said Youssef Aabou.
Youssef Aabou talks about conspiracy: “Having reviewed the events in Fnideq (Castillejos), as well as the skepticism embodied in the media and on social networks, my attention is now focused on what is happening in Europe in relation to Morocco regarding these events , such as, for example, the demonstration of Riffian separatists openly protected and supported by the Algerian regime which squanders without limit the budget of its people to finance these separatists in order to extort from them the endemic crisis in which they are plunged and their complexes at the same time. with regard to Morocco. At the same time, marginal groups whose common denominator is hostility towards their own country have emerged in a context of rhetoric having all the characteristics of elements of language dictated by a party which sets the angles of attack and the tempo of these. It’s a global pattern that we need to pay attention to,” he explains.
Exactly, in the case of the massive assault of illegal migrants at the borders of Ceuta and Melilla, Morocco received praise from Spain for the proper functioning of the mechanism organized to prevent massive illegal crossings across the borders between Morocco and the ‘Spainmainly by Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian migrants, who were encouraged by messages on social networks to carry out these illegal migratory movements on the day of September 15. This operation began thanks to suspicious activity on social networks which alerted the Moroccan and Spanish intelligence services, and police sources suggest that it is possible that the influence of the Algerian intelligence services played a role in this phenomenon. which encouraged migrants to illegally cross the borders of Ceuta and Melilla.
The example of Spanish praise for the good performance of the Spanish security forces gives a bad image to the criticism of the Moroccan kingdom, as Youssef Aabou tries to explain.
