Moroccan Flag Burning in France Sparks Outrage, Linked to Rif Separatists

Shortly after the publication of photos and videos of this demonstration on the page of the Rif separatist Mohamed El Ghadioui, alias "Yuba El Ghadioui", Moroccan internet users expressed their outrage. They described the sponsor of this outburst and the demonstrators as "traitors eager to sell their country in exchange for money from several obscure sources, including drug trafficking."

Saïd Chaou is working to foment sedition by calling for the independence of the Rif region, reports Al Ahdath Al Maghribia. This is how this man has mobilized a group of individuals, led by "Yuba El Ghadioui". The latter do not miss any opportunity to attack, the newspaper explains, the symbols of the kingdom, and to discredit the Moroccan justice system which exposes their criminal affairs. The same source indicates that this new demonstration would be a diversion to safely transport drugs to Europe.

On October 26 last year, a similar demonstration had taken place on the third anniversary of the death of the fish vendor, Mouhcine Fikri.
