Moroccan Monarch Denounces Terrorist Aggressions
On September 27, 2026, King Mohammed VI of Morocco issued a strong condemnation regarding the ongoing assaults perpetrated by Houthi militias against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These attacks have been indiscriminate, targeting civilian infrastructure, economic establishments, and residential areas, which has raised serious concerns about the safety and security of innocent lives. The Moroccan King emphasized that the severity of these attacks escalates when considering that they have not only impacted physical structures but have also included heinous attempts to target the holiest sites in Islam, namely Makkah and Madinah, places that hold profound significance in the hearts of over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide.
A Unified Stance Against Terrorism
In two correspondences directed to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, King Mohammed VI articulated a message of solidarity. He underscored the historical, religious, and cultural ties that bind Morocco and Saudi Arabia, calling for a united front in the face of such egregious acts. Highlighting the moral imperative to support one another, he stated that the attacks represent not only an affront to Saudi Arabia and its citizens but also an attack on the collective conscience of the global Muslim community.
The Moroccan King further condemned these actions as grave violations of international law and the core tenets of the Islamic faith, which advocate for peace, tolerance, and the sanctity of life. He called for accountability for the Houthi militias and their backers, stressing that they must be held responsible for their actions under divine judgment, historical accountability, and international law, including appropriate sanctions.
Moreover, King Mohammed VI reiterated that the security and stability of Saudi Arabia are intrinsically linked to Morocco's own national security. He articulated that any aggression towards Saudi Arabia is tantamount to an attack on Morocco, reinforcing their shared commitment to defend their mutual interests and upholding legitimacy in the region. The Moroccan monarch also expressed unwavering support for Saudi Arabia in navigating the threats posed by terrorist and separatist factions, which not only compromise regional security but also jeopardize crucial maritime routes vital to the global economy.
In conclusion, he reaffirmed that the relentless assaults on Saudi Arabia and its sacred sites are blatant breaches of international humanitarian law and conventions, demanding immediate cessation and accountability for those responsible. The King called for unity among Muslim nations in defending their shared values and sacred sites against such threats.
