Moroccan Truckers Launch Cross-Continental Campaign for Sahara Sovereignty

In total, more than 80 international transport trucks are traveling through a number of European and African countries, decorated with the map of Morocco, the emblem of the kingdom, as well as various drawings, symbols, inscriptions and excerpts from royal speeches, in order to raise awareness of the issue of Morocco’s territorial integrity and to emphasize the justness of the Moroccan Sahara dossier. Launched from the city of Agadir, this initiative comes from Mohamed Oussala, an associative actor in the transport sector. Where did the idea come from? "The idea stems from our strong and unwavering conviction of the importance of parallel diplomacy in defending the causes of peoples. After the continuous successes of our King and the Moroccan state in general in our national cause, we can only support initiatives that go in the same direction," he explained to Hespress. He added: "The sincere and true patriotism that flows in our veins from generation to generation is the main motivation to engage in anything that serves the interest of our country, on every occasion and in every place. Today, as we celebrate the anniversary and epic of the recovery of the Oued Eddahab region, we can only mobilize all our resources to continue to make our country and its cause known throughout the world."

Oussala specifies: "We have carefully chosen and highlighted, with bright colors, the map of Morocco, the emblem of the Kingdom, Moroccan zellige posters and excerpts from speeches" by King Mohammed VI on the Moroccan Sahara issue, on the most visible parts of the trucks. "In addition, images of the national team have been added to promote the organization of the 2030 World Cup by our country, Morocco, as well as other continental competitions," he continued. The associative actor says he is working "within the framework of parallel diplomacy", and that he is putting all his material and moral resources at the service of the first national cause. "The idea of making this fleet available for a campaign to promote Morocco and its cause was born from our conviction of the effectiveness and power of the visual impact of the carefully and precisely chosen symbols and slogans," he added, also assuring that he will continue this promotional campaign.

"Today, we have reached 40 countries in Europe and Africa, and of course we will continue, aiming to reach as many countries as possible, especially those with fluctuating positions on our national cause. We also plan to dedicate additional trucks to promoting Morocco’s hosting of the World Cup and the Moroccan tourist destination," Mohamed Oussala committed.
