  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkCcxT2Z-I8 https://youtu.be/JZQ9ip9-5UY?t=4 this lady from Algeria told a story how she was mistaken for a Guinéens lady by the Ivorien personal and wasn't immediatle guided to the Algerien section of the hotel where all the other Algeriens were having breakfast. The "situation" was nothing but an anectode of how people perceive each other. And some obviously Israeli with mal intent tried to make this into a racial slur on social media. we have to be careful these days.

  3. 13:56 I think, his comment must be understood with the ongoing war in Gaza. But it's true despite Morocco's 50% Amazigh population, people live mostly in an islamic arabo-francophone media bubble. With little exposure to other African nations. The Sahara creates a big devide and everybody looks up to Europe. Add to this the Millions that Europe pours into Military to prevent people from entering Ceuta, so this creates a sad image as well. But if you follow along the on-va-mourir crowd in Cote d'Ivoire, people when they meet face to face, get along nicely. This is also thanks to the great heart of les Ivoirien. I think overall this CAN has done a lot to combat the stereotypes that Moroccans have about subsaharien Africa. So rasicm in Morocco exists, but it's mostly due to pure ignorance (which there is a lof of in Morocco) and the brutal situation in Ceuta. Morocco is right now trying to get people from other African Nations to stay in Morocco and make a living there instead of going to Europe because it loses its own people to Europe. They also try to get Nigeria on board to build a gas pipeline and is planning a new port in the South which would finally get Burkina, Mali and Chad out of the land lock situation.The ECOWAS countries are still following France against their own neighbours. Of course Morocco does it also out of own interestes but still it shows that your skin doesn't determin who your best friend is. Overall Morocco is an African nation but with multiple heritages that are pulling in all different directions.
