It appears that the Moroccan government has begun a wholesale expulsion of foreign aid workers with non-Muslim religious ties.
Morocco’s new Minister of Justice Mohammed Naciri seems to be engaging in dangerous politicking that appeals to Moroccan nationalist pride but in reality is putting the lives of Moroccan citizens in danger. We must condemn this selfish political maneuvering in the strongest terms.
Please do what you can to spread the word about this affront to human rights.
Ways to help:
1. Get informed: Read Elizabeth’s blog. Read the most recent news report (as of 07:06 GMT) from TVNZ (New Zealand).
2. Spread the word: Forward this information to your friends, family, and any media contacts you may have in the states or elsewhere via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter (using the hashtag #MoroccoOrphans). When the world begins to comprehend the gravity of this offense, the Moroccan government will be compelled to do what’s best for their citizens, rather than using the lives of Moroccan children as political pawns.
3. Upload this graphic to your Facebook and Twitter profiles as a sign of solidarity with the Village of Hope and all the other aid workers being expelled from the country they aspire to help:

Let’s get them talking.
Here is a complete list of media contacts which I encourage everyone to use. The more people who are contacting these outlets the better–maybe they’ll be innundated with our emails and will take notice.
Thanks to Elisabeth Bromberg for putting this together.
