Algiers, Algeria | August 7th, 2024 — The Moroccan Interior Ministry has officially confirmed the desertion of 14 artillery officers from the Moroccan military stationed in the disputed Western Sahara region. This confirmation follows an exclusive report by Dzair Tube, which initially disclosed the incident based on confidential sources.

According to the statement from the Moroccan Interior Ministry, the officers, who were part of the artillery division in the contested Sahrawi territories, had fled their posts. In response to the incident, King Mohammed VI has instructed local media to refrain from reporting on sensitive security and military matters.

Dzair Tube’s initial report on August 1, 2024, had highlighted not only the desertion of 17 Moroccan officers to Spain but also the unsettling discovery of three Moroccan police officers found dead under violent circumstances in Casablanca. These revelations have generated widespread concern and speculation.

In light of these developments, the General Directorate of National Security in Morocco has issued an instruction to media outlets, including television channels, newspapers, online platforms, and social media influencers, ordering them to exercise caution and discretion in their reporting.
