Dakar – Relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Senegal are built on “complicity and proximity”, said HM the King’s Ambassador to Senegal, Hassan Naciri, stressing that these relations have intensified further in recent decades.

The Moroccan diplomat stated that His Majesty King Mohammed VI has added a precious stone to the structure by acting with conviction and a strong determination at three levels in an interview with the Senegalese newspaper “Le Soleil” that was published on Monday.

Politically speaking, “by upholding the values of this unique partnership, as evidenced by the eight official visits to Dakar, (…). This is the most visits to an African sister country that have been documented “said he.

In terms of the economy, he continued, “HM King Mohammed VI and president Macky Sall, as well as his predecessor Abdoulaye Wade, driven by this sense of common destiny and the spirit of solidarity (…) have invested to give substance and concrete content to this unique relationship by establishing solid and innovative partnerships between our two countries,” noting that these mutually beneficial partnerships cover sectors like finance and construction through off-shoring.

Thirdly, he emphasized that “our high authorities have made significant efforts to build a beneficial partnership in cultural sectors as indicated by the vast number of students enrolled in both Senegal and Morocco with their positive impact on mutual knowledge and people mix.”

Similar to how His Majesty King Mohammed VI represents the Commandery of the Faithful, Naciri emphasized the significance of this aspect, saying that “this concept is crucial to understand the exceptional nature of our relations insofar as it transcends all the traditional aspects of relations between states, it has its own dynamics, and it develops outside of all contingencies of any kind.”

Hassan Naciri, the Moroccan Ambassador to Mali, stated: “Against the backdrop of the terrorist incident that occurred yesterday on Saturday, 11 September; after the attack of the Moroccan drivers by unknown gunmen” the Moroccan Embassy in Bamako has taken a series of actions.”

In this regard, the Moroccan ambassador told the “Morocco Telegraph” news outlet: “So far, the embassy has coordinated with the Ministries of Health and Finance, and this has led to the embassy bringing the bodies of the two dead people; after midnight last night, they were deposited in a mortuary in the capital, Bamako, in the presence of an embassy representative.”

The injured victim was transported an hour ago, according to Ambassador Naciri. In the presence of all personnel of the embassy and several Moroccans resident in Mali, he was taken to a hospital in the capital, Bamako, where physicians began treating him.

The Moroccan embassy has formally requested an inquiry into the accident to determine all of the circumstances surrounding it, according to the ambassador.

On whether the accident had more than simply criminal intentions, as some Moroccans believe, the ambassador said that the financial authorities’ inquiry will answer this point; “You will tell us the outcome”; “It’s tough to build on preconceived notions while waiting for the truth to emerge,” he said.

Two Moroccan drivers were shot dead by armed gunmen yesterday, Saturday in Mali, while driving trucks loaded with goods to Bamako, according to the Moroccan Embassy in Bamako. Another driver was wounded, and a fourth driver survived.

An armed gang of several persons hidden amid the woods on the sides of the road intercepted them and began fire in the direction of the Moroccan drivers near the village of Didiéni, 300 kilometers from the Malian capital, Bamako.

The wounded victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, and his condition is not life-threatening.

The attackers were disguised, wore bulletproof jackets, and had radios, according to eyewitnesses. They also didn’t steal anything since they fled the scene of the crime right away.
