Senior military nurse detained for alleged rape of minor at Rabat hospital
Last week, the Public Prosecutor at the Rabat Court of Appeal ordered the pre-trial detention of a Royal Armed Forces Senior Sergeant (Adjudant-Chef), who is implicated in a case involving the rape of a minor.
The incident occurred at the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital in Rabat, where the 14-year-old victim was receiving medical treatment. According to Assabah newspaper, the accused, who was responsible for her care and worked as a chief nurse, lured the minor and sexually assaulted her.
Upon learning of the incident, the victim's family turned to the judiciary, where the accused was interrogated on charges related to «luring a minor, sexual harassment, indecent assault without violence, and abuse of power». The investigating judge ordered his detention and transferred him to Tamesna Prison after confronting him with evidence confirming his involvement in the crime.
The minor's family, from the city of Errachidia, had taken their daughter to the military hospital for treatment immediately after Eid al-Fitr. It was decided to keep her at the health facility, where the chief nurse exploited his position to sexually harass and later indecently assault her.
The first detailed interrogation session for the accused is scheduled for the end of this month, where he will be confronted with the minor in the presence of her father.

Sahara : Moroccan army drone strikes Algerian truck near Bir Lahlou
A Royal Armed Forces (FAR) drone strike on Wednesday, June 4, destroyed an Algerian-registered truck east of the Sand Wall near Bir Lahlou, killing all three occupants on board. The truck, which was returning from Mauritania, had entered the region from southern Algeria. It remains unclear why the vehicle entered this active conflict zone or what it was carrying. In response, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune convened a meeting of the High Security Council, as briefly noted in a statement from the Algerian presidency. However, Algerian media did not report the drone strike or mention Morocco's involvement. This incident is not unprecedented. Moroccan drones have previously targeted Algerian trucks in the area, prompting verbal warnings from the Algerian government, though these threats have not led to concrete action. Since the Polisario Front resumed hostilities on November 13, 2020, the FAR has effectively enforced a no-go zone east of the Sand Wall, significantly limiting movement in the area and forcing the Polisario to retreat from what it had declared «liberated territories». Bir Lahlou, where the strike occurred, was once regarded as the «capital» of the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

Sahara : Moroccan drone strikes Polisario vehicles
On Thursday afternoon, May 29, a drone from the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) targeted and destroyed vehicles belonging to the Polisario. «The strike took place near Mijek, east of the Sand Wall, at the border with Mauritania. It is still too early to determine the exact number of casualties among members of the Front's militias. The vehicles were completely destroyed», a Moroccan security source told Yabiladi. Meanwhile, Polisario-affiliated media offered a different version of events, claiming that the Moroccan Air Force drone strike «killed Mauritanian civilians who were searching for gold». The Mauritanian press, particularly outlets based in the Zouerate region, has not yet reported on the incident. Typically, they are the first to cover FAR drone strikes when Mauritanian gold prospectors are affected, often providing the names of the victims. This was the case following the May 16 strike in the locality of Karzaze.
