Morocco on Friday threatened to expel some Syrian refugees it accused of "causing disruption to mosques and the faithful" in several towns, after a first warning earlier this month. It referred to "the persistence" of certain "behaviour" despite a first message published on March 4 by the Islamic affairs department relating to the attitude of "certain Syrian nationals... who are causing disruption to mosques and the faithful". Al-Sabah newspaper speculated that the government was worried about a "Shiite presence" and "reports of practices disturbing doctrinal unity" in Sunni-majority Morocco.
