Three videos to understand Morocco, Ceuta and what happened:
The first video shows Moroccan soldiers, likely from the Haratin caste—descendants of former slaves of the Moroccan monarchs—killing a young Moroccan man with a large rock.
Why? He had returned from Ceuta, disobeying the king's strict orders to invade the city.
The second video shows a Spanish soldier trying to save a Moroccan woman who drowned after swimming miles to reach the Spanish city of Ceuta. She was fleeing the very same dictatorship that kills Moroccans simply for being Arab or Berber—rather than belonging to the king's slave-born caste.
The third one is for those who have never seen this ritual of humiliation imposed on the slaves of Morocco's little king. These are the Black slaves that the Moroccan monarch still owns to this day. They were historically used by the Moroccan rulers to kill Arabs and Berbers, and were kept inbred to make sure they felt surrounded by enemies—Arabs and Berbers alike—within Morocco, and thus remained loyal to the throne. This is known as the Allegiance Ceremony, in which these slaves and high-ranking officials bow before the king himself, who is descended from the slave wives of his ancestors. This ceremony was actually reinforced by the French colonial administration, and today France is renewing its protection by signing a new treaty that will keep Morocco a vassal state, just as it has been since 1912.
