Morocco Condemns Vienna Terror Attacks, Stands with Austria Against Violence

In a videoconference intervention, the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad, Nasser Bourita, strongly condemned the "terrible attacks" perpetrated in Vienna on Monday and expressed his closeness to the victims.

"I would first like to express all the sadness we felt yesterday following the terrible attacks that struck the heart of Central Europe, in Vienna," the minister said during the OSCE Mediterranean Conference.

"We condemn in the strongest terms these despicable acts. We stand with the Austrians in these moments of pain as we oppose violence, hatred and the rejection of otherness. (...) Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families and the Austrian people," added Mr. Bourita.

On Monday, two men and two women were killed in the center of Vienna, near a synagogue, in shootings.
