The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Dakar, Senegal, has issued a call for restraint to its citizens residing in the country. The advisory comes amid heightened tensions on social media following a recent decision by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
According to verified statements from the embassy, the diplomatic mission urged Moroccan nationals to avoid any escalation and to demonstrate a spirit of responsibility and citizenship. The message emphasized the importance of preserving the strong historical ties and fraternal relations between Morocco and Senegal.
The diplomatic note was released in response to online reactions after CAF announced that the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations would be hosted by Morocco. This decision followed the withdrawal of the initial host, Guinea, due to unpreparedness.
The embassy's communiqué did not specify any direct incidents but preemptively called for calm. It highlighted the need for mutual respect and the avoidance of any behavior that could harm the bilateral relationship between the two nations.
