Following the widely circulated video filmed in the city of Marrakech, security authorities detained Algerian YouTuber Rachid Nekkaz on Monday to investigate the video's content. He was later released based on instructions from the public prosecutor. Nekkaz was arrested immediately after filming the video, which sparked significant debate on social media. In the video, he claimed the Koutoubia Mosque and the Almohad state founded by Abd al-Mu'min were Algerian and he discussed Algerian-Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara. After the investigation, Nekkaz pledged not to film any more content until his departure. Meanwhile, legal procedures for his deportation have begun.
