Internet users: Saudi campaign for deportation of Moroccan women from KSA

ALGIERS– A social media campaign has been launched in Saudi Arabia, calling for the expulsion of Moroccan women from the Asian country in protest at their provocative acts and behaviors.

A wind of anger blows over Saudi Arabia, or rather a cloud of rage that hovers over Saudis. Indeed, the hashtag #ترحيل_المغربيات_مطلب or  ( #Deportation_of_Moroccan_women_is_a_request ) topped the trending list on Twitter in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The tweeters called for the deportation of Moroccan women from the Kingdom, as these women “attempt to harm Saudi society’s morals by spreading vice, in addition to their involvement in witchcraft-related practices”.

Tweeters referred to a testimony of a Saudi soldier, who said that Saudis were being targeted by what he described as “AIDS carriers” and that “Moroccan women are active in gangs aimed at harming the Kingdom”.

He called for “reporting any Moroccan woman who practices immorality under the cloak of a Saudi woman in the land of the Two Holy Mosques”.

 

Saudis, also, urged the Saudi Ministry of Labor and Social Development to ban the granting of a visa to Moroccan women to work as domestic workers, restricting it (the visa) to Hajj and Umrah only, or work contracts under tight restrictions.
