On Saturday, the Royal Cabinet of Morocco announced that King Mohammed VI has granted an official pardon to 18 Senegalese football fans who were imprisoned due to their involvement in disturbances during the Africa Cup of Nations final. The fans had been sentenced in February to prison terms of up to one year for hooliganism, which included attempts to storm the field amidst the chaos of the match. This decision reflects the king's commitment to promoting goodwill and fostering positive relations between Morocco and Senegal.
