Marrakech Women Voice Support for the UAE
The linguistic richness of Arabic is notable; however, it fails to distinguish between male and female flies, as both genders are collectively referred to as "ذباب" (dhubab), with the singular form being "ذبابة" (dhubabah). This observation, rooted in the language's structure, showcases a fascinating quirk. Yet, in colloquial dialects, the term "دبّانة" (dabbana) used for female flies carries a connotation that belittles them, suggesting a dubious reputation for these insects.
In a surprising turn of events on social media, following Algeria's decision to sever diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates, a significant number of women from Marrakech have emerged to vocally support Abu Dhabi. This defense of the Emirati regime has been unusual, considering that these same individuals did not extend similar support to their compatriots facing humiliation in Ceuta and elsewhere. Observers, particularly expatriates from Marrakech, have expressed embarrassment over this peculiar phenomenon.
These women, characterized by their distinct features, have taken to social media platforms to champion the legacy of Sheikh Zayed, showing more fervor than they have for their own marginalized citizens. Typically, one would expect the usual “buzz” of male supporters to continue their daily critiques of Algeria, particularly after the diplomatic rift with Morocco. This expectation was shattered as numerous women from Marrakech took a stand, raising eyebrows and questions about their motivations.
It's been noted that previous defenders of the Moroccan regime, including those who have supported controversial figures like Netanyahu, have not faced similar scrutiny. The emergence of many young women from Marrakech actively engaging in this discourse raises significant questions about the underlying dynamics of their involvement. This has led to inquiries from both Moroccan and Gulf commentators who have questioned the relevance of these women in a matter that seemingly does not concern them directly.
Moreover, this spectacle has sparked critical reactions from the people of Marrakech, who have taken issue with Algerian critiques of the evolving spiritual, cultural, and military ties between Morocco and the occupying entity in Palestine. They argue that such matters should be left for those directly affected, even as some from this entity have publicly disparaged Algeria from their territory.
One cannot help but wonder why women from the UAE, alongside thousands of Arab and foreign women residing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, have remained silent, while only the women of Marrakech have chosen to speak out. This raises intriguing questions about identity, loyalty, and the complexities of regional politics.
