Moroccans rally in Rabat in support of Palestine and to protest the starvation of Gazans
This demonstration was a direct response to the Palestinian resistance's call for a global movement to address the dire situation faced by the besieged residents of the Gaza Strip, who suffer under a brutal collective starvation policy.
From the early morning hours, thousands of Moroccans gathered in Rabat, with significant representation from political party leaders, political organizations, human rights groups, and trade union representatives. The Justice and Charity Group. Al Adl wal Ihsane, was notably prominent in the march.
The «Moroccan Front for Supporting Palestine and Against Normalization» emphasized in a statement that this national march is driven by «our humanitarian duty and historical responsibility as a people and activists to confront the crime of starvation and genocide». The march also seeks to «participate in the global movement on Sunday against starvation in Gaza» and to «condemn the genocide committed by the Zionist occupation against the Palestinian people, amid the silence and complicity of the international community».
The statement further highlighted that «the systematic starvation inflicted by the occupation's machinery on more than one and a half million civilians in Gaza, particularly in its northern regions, through the destruction of infrastructure, food storage, and the prevention of aid, is a genocidal weapon aimed at crushing the will to resist and forcing surrender upon a people committed to resistance until liberation».
The front vehemently condemned «the crime of international silence and Arab inaction in stopping this heinous crime», urging the Moroccan people to continue their mobilization and struggle in support of Palestine and its courageous resistance.

Rabat Erupts in Protest Against Gaza Blockade, IOF Crimes
Thousands of voices rose this Sunday in the streets of Rabat, where a massive demonstration took place to express solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and to denounce Israel's genocide campaign. From Bab El Had to the Moroccan Parliament, the crowd marched with flags, chants, and the tragic message that Gaza's genocide is only getting worse, and silence is no longer an option. For more than 21 months, Gaza has endured relentless Israeli massacres marked by daily deaths, hunger, and an unyielding violence. Israel has carried out a military campaign in Gaza involving mass killings, starvation, destruction of infrastructure and forced expulsions since October 7, 2023. In Morocco, the protest was organized by the 'Moroccan Front in Support of Palestine and Against Israeli Ties,' a national coalition bringing together political parties, trade unions, human rights organizations, and prominent public figures. The movement mobilized a wide range of participants, men and women, young and old, united in their refusal to accept the ongoing Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) massacres. Palestinian flags waved over the crowd, while chants echoed through the capital: 'With our souls and our blood, we sacrifice for you, Palestine' and 'Morocco and Palestine, one people, not two.'

The march also carried a tone of defiance. Protesters called out Western and Arab governments alike, accusing them of ignoring or enabling the suffering of the Palestinians. Placards and slogans rejected any form of political or economic connection with Tel Aviv, denouncing those links as a betrayal of justice and of Morocco's historical support for the Palestinian cause. On the same day, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) renewed its urgent funding appeals, warning that Israel is deliberately starving civilians. More than a million children are now caught in this humanitarian catastrophe, as the blockade continues to restrict life-saving aid from reaching Gaza. Starvation has become yet another weapon in Israel's arsenal of oppression. Beyond bullets, airstrikes, and surveillance drones, Israel now relies on deliberate hunger as a means of forcing Palestinians to yield. This systematic deprivation of food and aid is part of a wider plan to uproot Palestinians and impose a new reality on historic Palestinian lands. Tags: GazagenocideIOF massacresMorocco Gaza

South Africa : Will Zuma's party succeed in ousting the Polisario's main ally ?
As Jacob Zuma, the founder of the UMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, visits Morocco, his party has issued a call for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign. Last Wednesday, the MK party gave the current head of state and leader of the African National Congress (ANC) a two-day ultimatum to step down. On Friday, July 18, the MK staged a protest outside the presidential palace in Pretoria, demanding Ramaphosa's ouster. They criticized what they termed as the ANC president's «negative record» since he assumed office on February 14, 2018. This development unfolds amid escalating tensions between the ANC and the Democratic Alliance (DA). The latest chapter in this political showdown between the country's two leading parties occurred on Friday, July 18. In a statement, Ramaphosa's party voiced its «concerns over the disinformation campaign led by Democratic Alliance MP Emma Powell against South Africa, and her apparent attempts to undermine the South African government's response to the new U.S. tariff regime». These events echo the turbulent weeks preceding the ousting of Pedro Castillo, a former Polisario ally in Peru, in December 2022. A few months after his arrest, the new Peruvian president rescinded in September 2023 her recognition of the «SADR». In Morocco, Jacob Zuma reiterated from Rabat his support for Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara and advocated for establishing an economic and diplomatic partnership between South Africa and the kingdom. The MK stands as the third-largest political force in South Africa.
