A large march was held on Sunday in Laayoune to denounce the “despicable terrorist attack” perpetrated against civilians in the city of Es-Semara, the spiritual Capital of the Kingdom’s Southern Provinces. During the march, participants led by local Chioukhs, notables and elected representatives vigorously condemned the attack, calling it “a terrorist act committed by enemies of the Kingdom’s territorial integrity”. They chanted slogans denouncing this “despicable attack which targeted innocent civilians in flagrant violation of international law”, while calling on the international community to assume its responsibility “to put an end to the actions of the polisario, “a terrorist entity which detains our brothers and bombs our sons”. These attacks, targeting civilians, “are aimed at undermining the security and stability prevailing in the Kingdom’s southern provinces” and “attest to the failure of the separatist thesis on diplomatic, military and political levels”, they stressed. The banners read: “Like Daesh, the polisario is a bunch of terrorists”, “The explosions at Es-Semara threaten the peace and safety of civilians in flagrant violation of international law, international humanitarian law and Security Council resolutions”.
