Digital campaigns by Turkey target Morocco

Turkey was not satisfied with its economic profits that it reaped from trade exchange with the countries of the Maghreb, but rather sought to achieve its expansionist ambitions and political dreams, by distorting the symbols of the Kingdom of Morocco, headed by King Mohammed VI.

This is what prompted Moroccan activists on various social media sites; To join hands with their king and defend their kingdom by launching electronic counter campaigns, and multiple hashtags carrying the phrases “King Mohammed VI is a red line”, “Our strength is in our unity”, and “We are all conscripted soldiers.”

Polisario’s online campaigns spread lies about the killing of Moroccan soldiers and the confiscation of their weapons near the Algerian border, to promote the existence of a war in the Sahara region, to cover up the gains achieved by the Moroccan state, and these allegations cannot be believed, due to the difficulty of the front’s access to these areas except through Algerian territory Which is considered a declaration of war from Algeria against Morocco.

What confirms the lies of these campaigns is that they did not document any of their allegations with pictures or videos, but on the contrary, they used old photos that they attached to their false posts.

These suspicious campaigns also contain messages to the United States that recognition of the Moroccan Sahara will spark a regional war.

Turkey supports these campaigns in spite of the Kingdom of Morocco, which was one of the first countries to respond to the boycott of Turkish products last year and faced the Turkish commercial invasion, especially after Morocco’s trade deficit with Ankara increased from 4.4 billion dirhams in 2006 to 16 billion dirhams in 2018.

Turkey had previously colluded with activists in the Islamic movement in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to launch a new television channel broadcast from Ankara, with a capital of 200,000 euros, directed to the countries of the Maghreb, especially Libya, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, in order to improve the image of Erdogan and distort the governments in these countries, including It is in favor of the Turkish conspiracy against this region and fueling conflicts and strife in it.
