Clash erupts as motorbike convoy enters Ashrafieh after Morocco win
A clash erupted overnight at Ashrafieh’s Sassine Square after dozens of individuals arrived in the area on motorbikes carrying “flags of Morocco, Palestine and Syria,” media reports said.
The incident followed Morocco’s historic win and qualification for the FIFA World Cup semifinals in Qatar.
Videos posted online showed the revelers chanting Islamic slogans in front of the Christmas tree in Sassine. The scenes were deemed provocative by young men from the area, which triggered a clash.
Another video showed army troops intervening to contain the clash and separate between the two sides.

I hope every motorbike was destroyed to teach them another lesson in history.

All motorbikes as in scooters should be banned, they’re reckless drivers, often they snatch women’s purses and run off, they’re very noisy and finally pollute much more than a car, like way more. A 2022 motorbike pollutes 6x more than a modern car, an older bike pollutes 11x more and that’s if they’re well maintained… .
