Carrefour Sparks Controversy by Altering Morocco’s Map

In an unprecedented move, the French retail giant « Carrefour » has ignited outrage by publishing a truncated map of Morocco in a promotional flyer distributed in its stores in Qatar.

The promotional material features what is referred to as the « Polisario flag » on a map accompanying an advertisement for African products imported to Qatar.

This act, widely seen as provocative, has drawn strong backlash from Moroccans on social media, who condemned it as irresponsible. The outrage is further amplified by the fact that Carrefour operates in Morocco with numerous stores across various cities.
