| NEWS | ||
Morocco's Foreign Minister Taïb Fassi Fihri said, during the House of Representatives' question time on Wednesday, that the government deems that it is about time justice was done to these combatants and their assigns, especially with regard to improving their material conditions.
"Morocco calls upon Spain to carry out a bold reading of the joint memory, in a spirit of equanimity and away from any prejudices, based on a scientific approach to shed light on this part of the joint history," Fassi Fihri said. The minister added that this will be carried out as part of a constructive dialogue which reflects will to settle, once and for all, the colonial heritage. He pointed out that there is no precise number of these combatants from the north and south of Morocco, with Morocco’s estimations ranging between 100,000 and 130,000, while Spanish sources advance the number of 80,000 soldiers. The minister said that the Moroccan association for veterans estimates that 1,350 combatants are still alive in the north of the Kingdom and 600 in the south.
