A viral video of a Moroccan parent physically assaulting his child’s teacher and causing panic among students at an elementary school in Berrechid, near Casablanca, has provoked outrage among Moroccans.

The incident which happened past Wednesday, according to teachers at the school, occurred when the angry father came to the school in order to meet the director, who happened not to be there, leading to visitors being barred from school grounds.

The North African Minister of National Education, Chakib Benmoussa, who condemned the event, expressed support for the teacher and the school’s staff and said the culprit would be brought to justice.

The Minister said in a Facebook post that the perpetrator stormed the establishment by climbing the walls, breaking into the teacher’s classroom and causing a state of terror and panic among students and educational staff.

“Following the physical assault on Professor Abdelilah Bonader, I strongly condemn this heinous act that affected the teacher during his duties at an elementary school in Berrechid,” Benmoussa said.

The Minister called for “mandatory respect towards teaching staff” and denounced the abuse of the sanctity of educational institutions.

Local media reported that the teacher had allegedly refused to grant the student a leave of absence with the discussion turning into a brawl between the student’s father and the teacher.

The video of the physical assault lasted nearly 10 minutes, during which unprecedented scenes of violence were shown in addition to the screams of scared students.

In this video, Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, lends his voice to the trending issue of migration in the global arena. Shettima addressed the leader of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, Kemi Badenoch, stressing that even if she changed her first name, that would not change Nigeria’s position as “the greatest black nation on earth.”

Migrants are the source of life in all societies, Shetimma argued.

Since becoming the leader of the UK Conservative Party, Badenoch, who is of Nigerian descent, has pledged to enforce stricter immigration policies, warning that the current pace of migration risks were overwhelming public services and undermining social cohesion.

Over the last few decades, migration numbers in the UK have generally been comparable to those in other high-income nations. Addressing issues around migration has become a strong political and policy topic in the UK, with the previous administration under Rishi Sunak pushing for an unconventional approach to the matter by sending migrants to Rwanda, East Africa.

In this video, Ghana’s ruling New Patriotic Party candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, concedes defeat in the recently concluded presidential election.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have conceded defeat like any consummate Democrat would do. But we have not abandoned the fight to transform Ghana and expand opportunities to all sections of our society. We will not be a disruptive opposition.”

In Ghana, members of Parliament are chosen by first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies, but the president is chosen through a two-round process.

Former President John Mahama, the candidate of the National Democratic Congress, secured a majority in the first round, enough to be declared the president-elect.
