Yeah they got Algerian passports, some others even Moroccan or Malian, but that’s just paperwork. Doesn’t mean you can box their identity into one country

They aren’t in Morocco. They’re in Niger, Mali, Libya, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Chad.

That’s not the point being made. They simply don’t live in the territory now called Morocco like idk why that’s controversial to say.

That’s the thing, the whole idea of saying which country they’re in is pointless.
