181 Moroccans left Ukraine on Saturday evening across the various border crossing points in the country, an informed source told Hespress.
93 Moroccan citizens left through 3 land borders between Ukraine and Romania, 70 Moroccans left Ukraine by land to Poland, and 17 others via Slovakia, while one Moroccan citizen crossed to Hungary.
The spokesman said the departure of Moroccan students from Ukraine was delayed by the long queues at the land borders.
The Moroccan authorities are intensifying humanitarian bridges in order to provide a safe exit for Moroccans from Ukraine amid continued of Russian military operations.
Since the detection of Russian military forces alongside the Ukrainian border back in January, the Moroccan Embassy in Kyiv issued a statement advising its nationals to “leave the Ukrainian territory,” as threats of escalation were rampant.
On Friday morning, parents of Moroccan students in Ukraine staged a protest in front of the headquarters of the National Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to plead for the government’s interference in repatriating their stranded children.
With signs urging the government to “save the youth stranded in war zones,” the parents are clamoring for authorities’ intervention, who are “living under harrowing psychological terror.”
Moroccan embassy in Ukraine urged its nationals to head to border crossings to Romania, Hungary, or Slovakia, where reception and escort cells will be established by the Moroccan diplomatic teams in those countries.
A Number of cells have been established in neighboring safe countries by Moroccan diplomatic missions, which can be reached as follows: Bologna (008003211419), Romania (0800410139), the third number in Slovakia (0800601748), and then a phone number in Hungary (0680216008).
