Morocco: A wave of racism against mixed marriages?

Moroccan activists have protested on social media in recent days over the fact that more and more Moroccan women are marrying people from sub-Saharan African countries. Human rights defenders denounce this as “blatant racism.”

Internet users have criticized Moroccan women for “preferring to marry a person from sub-Saharan African countries” rather than a man of Moroccan nationality. These activists have posted photos and videos on Facebook of Moroccan women marrying men from sub-Saharan African countries, denouncing a “phenomenon that is spreading in Morocco.”
