Controversy Erupts Over Video Promoting Interracial Marriages in Morocco

A video capsule from the GADEM association is causing controversy on the web. At issue, the remarks of a Sub-Saharan residing in Morocco who extols the benefits of "miscegenation" or the union between a Sub-Saharan and a Moroccan woman. A subject that is almost taboo in Morocco.

The GADEM association, meaning Anti-Racist Group for the Defense and Support of Foreigners and Migrants, has attracted the wrath of Internet users with this controversial video posted on X (formerly Twitter) in which a Sub-Saharan residing in Morocco addressed the relationships between Moroccan women and Sub-Saharans.

For some Internet users, shocked, this short video looked more like "pro-miscegenation propaganda" than awareness-raising, in the sense that the person concerned focused on a sensitive issue in Morocco, namely the union between a Moroccan woman and a Sub-Saharan, reports H24 Info.

In their argument, they explain that a Moroccan woman is free to marry a Sub-Saharan, as this is a private matter. Other Internet users relayed other "shocking" capsules from GADEM, highlighting its funding links with the German Heinrich-Böll Foundation known for its calls for the legalization of pedophilic relationships.

Based in Morocco since 2006, the association has already carried out several awareness campaigns on racism and the rights of migrants and refugees in Morocco. But this video on "miscegenation" did not go down well.
