Is Morocco Right To Refuse Help From Certain Nations?

[naomi24]

Following the devastating earthquake in Morocco last Friday, apparently for political reasons. Morocco is refusing offers of help from some outside sources, among them some western nations. Deaths are running into thousands and much of the devastation is focussed upon remote mountain regions adding to the difficulties, so are they right - or are there times when politics should be set aside for the greater good?

I remember when Turkey had those bad earthquakes they refused help from Cyprus.

Morocco has always been one of the more sensible of all the failed states in Africa,(All the countries in Africa are failed states unfortunately).Perhaps the UK should adopt a more friendly status for Morocco.

TR0P, you don't expect any common do you? Their mumbo jumbo is more important than the lives of their own people.

[roadman]

maybe morocco doesnt trust external offers and aid

[ynnafymmi]

Has there been any Islamic terrorists from Morocco though,3T?Everywhere else from North Africa,no notable Islamic terrorists from Morocco.

[ToraToraTora]

never said anything about terrorism ynna, they are completely radio rental even without that.

[naomi24]

There are terrorist groups in Morocco.

[roadman]

there are terrorist groups everywhere

[DTCwordfan]

they are a proud people and will make their own decisions on who to invite. Given the current relations with Algeria, I'm not surprised - they were/are nearly at war with them over the sand war and then Morocco extending diplomatic relations with Jerusalem......

@16.59.Are you sure roadman.Finland?Sweden?The UK,apart from the Irish terrorists?Greenland?New Zealand?

[roadman]

pretty sure

[ynnafymmi]

"pretty sure"...methinks the only terrorist groups left in the world are either the Islamist terrorists(haunting the Middle East and North Africa) and the psychopaths in the rump of SinnFein/IRA in ROI/UK?None that i know of in Finland,Canada,Hungary,Australia....

[roadman]

you dont know the definition of terrorism then or youre very tunnel visioned only recently a shooting in new zealand 2020 and there is an abundance of mass shooting in canada just research it

[roadman]

2016 budapest bombing

[roadman]

2017 turku attack finland

[naomi24]

Ynna, I think you’re mistaken. Islamic terrorists aren’t restricted to North Africa and the Middle East. (Incidentally Morocco is in North Africa - but you knew that),

[ynnafymmi]

Iceland?Greenland?

[roadman]

Terrorism is unfortunately everywhere whether it is religiously motivated or people unhappy with their government and police

[ynnafymmi]
