Ex-Moroccan officer: Makhzen’s bribery of European representatives aims to support its illegal occupation of Western Sahara

The former officer in the Moroccan army, Mustafa Adib, affirmed that Morocco’s new scandal in bribing European parliamentarians with the money it earns from the cannabis trade aims to implicate the “old continent” in supporting its illegal occupation of Western Sahara and overlooking the human rights situation in Morocco and the occupied Western Sahara territories.

In an article he posted on his Facebook page, Mustafa Adib wrote that the money granted by the Makhzen regime to European parliamentarians as a bribe, “aims at plundering more of the resources of the occupied Western Sahara,” as “Europe accepts to buy the products of Morocco and Western Sahara such as vegetables and fish, at low prices.

In the same context, the former officer went on to say: “Imagine that the Makhzen gives a bribe in order to buy Moroccan fish for less than 50 centimes per kilogram, and Moroccans cannot afford fish, just because the Europeans do not distinguish between Moroccan products and those of occupied Western Sahara.”

This scandal also aims to “turn a blind eye to Europe’s human rights violations in Morocco and occupied Western Sahara, as well as not to speed up the organization of the referendum for self-determination in occupied Western Sahara.”
