A Senegalese television channel has sparked controversy after airing a map of Morocco that included the Moroccan Sahara, but with a flag representing a non-existent entity placed over the territory.
The incident was revealed in a video clip that quickly circulated on social media, drawing strong reactions from viewers who described the broadcast as misleading and inaccurate.
According to the footage, the channel displayed the disputed symbol while presenting a segment related to Morocco, prompting criticism from Moroccan users who said the move was an attempt to distort a clear reality on the ground.
The clip triggered renewed debate online, with many calling on the channel to correct what they saw as a false representation and to respect internationally recognized maps and symbols.
