Frustration and anger grow amid slow earthquake rescue
operations in Morocco
--- Quote ---
> The aftershocks of the earthquake that hit Morocco Friday
continued Monday as the death toll approached 3,000. That number
is expected to rise further along with the number of injured.
The rescue and recovery operations continue at a slow pace, a
source of frustration and anger for many Moroccans who say the
government is not doing enough. Special correspondent Alex
Cadier reports from Marrakesh.

Morocco does not need more nurses. Morocco needs fewer patients.
If nurses are migrating to Canada, so should patients.

ISRAEL RAMPS UP DRONE SALES TO MOROCCO FOR ITS COLONIAL WAR IN
WESTERN SAHARA
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Morocco recognized Israel as part of the Abraham Accords — and
is reaping its rewards against the Polisario Front.
>
> WHEN ABDELAHI EMHAMED first caught sight of the two drones
overhead, he thought it was normal. A 24-year-old fighter in the
Polisario Front, he had become accustomed to Moroccan
surveillance drones
>
>
> In December 2020, a month after the end of the ceasefire
between Morocco and the Polisario, then-President Donald Trump
declared U.S. support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western
Sahara. The recognition contravened the United Nations’
position, which considers Western Sahara a “non-self governing
territory,” a euphemism for a colony. In return for U.S. support
on Western Sahara, Morocco joined the Abraham Accords, a series
of diplomatic deals brokered by Trump and his son-in-law, Jared
Kushner, that resulted in the United Arab Emirates, Sudan,
Bahrain, and Morocco normalizing relations with Israel. Since
then, Rabat has gone from having covert ties with Tel Aviv to
becoming its open ally, and Israel has sold at least 150 drones
to Morocco.
>
> The proliferation of drones in Morocco makes an already
unequal war between Morocco and the Polisario completely
asymmetrical.
>
> “Sahrawi people feel that every day, we become similar to
Palestinians,” said Mohamed Sidati, the foreign affairs minister
of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic
>
> Morocco controls an estimated 80 percent of Western Sahara,
including the areas rich in phosphate and other valuable
resources. To control that territory, Morocco built a 2,700 km
sand wall, known as a berm, that snakes through Western Sahara
and divides the land in two. On the Moroccan-controlled side of
the berm, in what Sahrawis call the “occupied territories,”
Sahrawis live under surveillance and face harassment, detention,
and torture if they lobby for independence, according to human
rights organizations.
>
> the Abraham Accords have enabled Morocco to heighten its
attacks with the help of the latest in drone technology, fresh
from Israel.
>
> Owgal and Sidati, the foreign affairs minister, claim that
Israeli advisers are on the ground on the Moroccan side of the
berm counseling the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces on their use of
drone technology. “They are there … not far from the berm,” said
Sidati, though he declined to share any evidence, saying it was
secret. Borsari believes “it is not only possible but very
likely that Israel sent advisers on the ground in Morocco to
train the Royal Armed Forces in the use of drones.” Moroccan
media has also stated that Rabat plans to manufacture “kamikaze”
drones in partnership with Tel Aviv, and Israeli company Elbit
Systems recently announced the opening of the two factories in
Morocco to produce “defense systems.”
>
> Meanwhile, economic cooperation is booming. According to U.N.
data analyzed by The Intercept, in pre-Abraham 2019, trade
between Israel and Morocco was at $70.7 million. In 2022, the
figure reached $178.7 million, and Tel Aviv has declared it is
targeting $500 million. From 2019 to 2022, exports from Israel
to Morocco increased tenfold, from $3.8 million to $38.5
million.
