For Moroccan press, the world is at threshold of new colonial era
Morocco-Iraq, Politics, 4/7/2003

Several Moroccan dailies agreed this Monday that events unfolding in Iraq show that the world is at the threshold of a new colonial era that risks to plunge the entire globe into mayhem.

For "Al Bayane," a new colonial era, "much more dangerous for the future of peoples and for the world peace is starting in the beginning of the 21st century that was hoped to be the century of right and peaceful existence."

The daily warns that "humanity is facing manifestations of the colonial phenomena, threatening the world stability and seriously undermining its development."

In the same vein, "Liberation" comments that unless American military solutions are immediately stopped, there are risks of protracted tragedies for all peoples, including the American people. "we are standing helpless as we are witnesses to an operation to exterminate the Iraqi people and occupy its national territory, prior to other war schemes overtly scheduled and announced by the American administration to exterminate and occupy other peoples in the Middle East."

"Al Bayane" further calls the Arab states, which is at the front of the confrontation with the colonial imperialism to face the new peril, especially at the political level, in order to raise awareness of Arab masses on the need to mobilize to defend their independence.

Meanwhile, "Attajdid" daily notes that unlike the American people, the American administration is obsessed by its warlike attitude. But, the paper adds, the war against Iraq risks to bounce back when Americans, and particularly, the soldiers, realize that they are not dying for the homeland but for the sake of corporate circles.
