Casablanca- The ongoing violence within the Moroccan universities marks a new chapter.
The university violence saga continues and this time it is the University of Marrakech under the spotlights.
According to daily newspaper Almassae in its Wednesday May 7th issue, an “Islamist” student was attacked by a group of unidentified masked individuals inside one of the university bathrooms and threw an unknown black powder directly into the student’s eyes.
The student, a 19-year-old female in her freshman year majoring in Islamic studies and a sympathizer of “Attajdid Tollabi” organization, was taken to a hospital for medical attention.
The medical crew could not identify the nature of the black powder.
The student said that prior to the attack she received threatening text messages.
Less than two weeks ago, a homicide claimed the life of Abderrahim El Hasnaoui, an Islamist student and member of “Attajdid Tollabi”, a students’ organization linked to the ruling Islamist Party of Justice and Development.
The incident took place inside a cafeteria at the University of Fez- Dher Mehrez after a group of Leftist students believed to be affiliated with “Annahj Democrati Al Qaidi” armed with swords and knives launched an attack on El Hasnaoui causing him severe injuries.
El Hasnaoui was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead a short time after.
