Rabat – In a shocking video, a Moroccan woman living in the US took to social media to denounce the insulting behavior of a Lebanese official working at the Lebanese embassy in Rabat, who said “all Moroccan women are prostitutes.” The woman has demanded the immediate intervention of Moroccan ambassador in Lebanon.
“I am Moroccan of origin, proud to be, with a green passport. I’ve never prostituted myself in my life,” the woman says with vehemence. Furious, she explains that she often goes back and forth to Lebanon on business or to see family.
On her last trip to the Lebanese embassy in Rabat to obtain her visa, a Lebanese official made extremely inappropriate statements against her by declaring that “all Moroccan women are prostitutes.”
“Today a man named Joragi, an official at the Lebanese embassy who granted me multiple visas for Lebanon, considers that all Moroccan women are prostitutes,” the woman says in a voice trembling with anger.
Revolted by such statements, the woman chose to shout her indignation in a video denouncing the lack of consideration of certain foreigners staying in Morocco, and called on Mohamed Grine, the ambassador of Morocco in Lebanon, for immediate intervention: “I ask the Ambassador of Morocco to Lebanon, Mr. Grine, why do you allow people who insult us to come to Morocco?”
“I love my country, but to be spoken to in such a way because he [the Lebanese official] thinks of himself I don’t know who! … he speaks to women as if they were prostitutes!” she adds.
To date, neither the Lebanese consulate in Morocco nor Mohamed Grine has commented on the incident.
