UNEM (Union Nationale des Etudiants Marocains) / SECTION POLOGNE




“A lot of relationships were forged at that time, some of which lasted and some of which didn’t. And then there was the political activity—demonstrating against the Vietnam War, for example—and people meeting because of political affinities. There weren’t many Moroccans, but we were very active.

I remember all kinds of meetings, UNEM gatherings…. There was also a year when I organized a national symposium on Black Power, and I had to make the inaugural speech in Polish. There was another one on Palestine with the Union of Foreign and Polish Students. Karim Idriss and I were members. We discussed these issues. We were subscribers to the Tricontinental magazine. Our Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi friends were deeply concerned by the Palestine question.”

Abdelkader Lagtaa, 2019
