In a tweet shared on Sunday, December 11, 2022, the MP said that the BBC has been referring to persons who illegally enter Europe from Morocco as illegal migrants from Africa but were quick to describe Morocco as any Arab Nation when they qualified for the semi-finals of the World Cup. Even the great BBC said after the game that, Morocco was the 1st Arab Nation to qualify for a World Cup semi-finals. “Yet, when Migrants cross the Mediterranean and enter Spain or Italy from Rabat, the BBC call them illegal migrants from an 'African Nation',” parts of the MPs tweet read. The Atlas Lions of Morocco defeated Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the quarter-finals to become the first African country to reach the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This victory makes Morocco the first African country to ever reach the World Cup semi-finals, following several failed and painful attempts from Cameroon, Senegal, and Ghana in 1990, 2002, and 2010 respectively.
