Saeed Nashid Calls for the Revocation of Nobel Prize from Tawakkol Karman After Inciting Chaos in Morocco
Yemeni activist Tawakkol Karman has sparked widespread controversy following her comments regarding the “Generation Z” protests in Morocco, which she framed as a “revolution against the regime.” Observers noted that the youth’s demands are primarily focused on issues related to health and education.
Karman’s rhetoric, deemed incendiary and misleading, has been met with strong disapproval from Moroccans. Journalists and Arab intellectuals criticized her for allegedly instigating chaos and undermining Morocco’s stability.
Amid this controversy, Moroccan thinker Saeed Nashid posted a highly engaged statement advocating for the withdrawal of the Nobel Peace Prize from Tawakkol Karman, arguing that her actions contradict the award’s goals of promoting peace and coexistence.
Nashid asserted that Karman exploits her symbolism not for peace, but to incite revolutions and violence, without initiating any dialogue or reconciliation efforts in her region. He noted her lack of contribution to education or empowering girls in her home country of Yemen.
He explained that most of her posts are based on incitement and spreading false news, pointing out that her aggressive behavior is incompatible with the message of the Nobel Peace Prize. He argued that revoking the award would be a fair acknowledgment of its emblematic significance and humanitarian message.
Nashid’s statement garnered widespread support from both Moroccan and Arab followers who considered his stance logical and responsible in addressing what they described as attempts to hijack international awards for political agendas.
Observers believe this response reflects a growing awareness among Moroccan public opinion, rejecting external narratives that seek to exploit social movements in Morocco for chaos rather than peaceful and constructive reform.
