Moroccans have launched a boycott campaign against Tunisian goods in recent days, following the arrival of Polisario leader Ibrahim Ghali at the TICAD 8.

The event was held in the Tunisian capital from August 27 to 28, with Morocco withdrawing its participation.

Moroccan Twitter users launched a trending hashtag in order to boycott Tunisian goods sold nationwide under the bar code 619.

Twitter is now being used to display barcodes and comprehensive lists of Tunisian brands available on the Moroccan market.

Additionally, as the new academic year approaches, the boycott campaign targets BIC pens and sheets, a French brand with a factory in the Tunisian city of Bizerte that supplies Morocco.

Many activities shared by the country and Tunisia have also been halted, including the Tunis summit for inventors and national clubs withdrawing from the Arab and African Championships in Tunisia.

The Royal Moroccan Federation of Karate has also announced that the Moroccan national team will not compete in the North African Championship, which is scheduled to take place in Tunisia from September 7 to 11.
