Rabat –Moroccans from all corners of the country converged on Sunday morning in Rabat to participate in a massive March to protest the statements that United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon made last weekend in the Tindouf camps.
According to Moroccan TV channel Medi1 TV, more than three million Moroccans took part in what can be dubbed as a New Green March.
Last Saturday, the UN chief Ban Ki-moon described Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces (also known as the Western Sahara) as “occupation.”
This unprecedented statement caused an uproar in Morocco and caused the Moroccan government to issue a strong-worded communique last Tuesday, in which it denounced Ban Ki-moon bias in favor of the Polisario.
