It states, &#8220;While throwing eggs and flour may seem violent and mean to most viewers, these are common practices amongst young Moroccans on the Day of Ashura, a religious holiday. On this holy day, Moroccan kids throw all kinds of things including firecrackers, eggs and sometimes even soap. The fun and games occasionally turn to chaos, which is one of the reasons that many Moroccans aren\u2019t fans of the holiday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>France24 further reported that a second video had been posted by the young men seen in the video after it caused a controversy. In this second video, these young men stated that they were only having fun and that they were wrongly accused of assaulting the woman. The woman seen in the first video had also appeared in this second video in which she &#8220;seemed to support their version of events&#8221;. This set of events, however, could not be confirmed by Alt News as the second video is no longer available.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40569\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/burka3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"986\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/burka3.jpg 986w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/burka3-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/burka3-768x365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Toward the end, France24 states, &#8220;It\u2019s impossible to know if her participation in the second video was forced. It\u2019s also impossible to know if she did indeed feel in danger when the boys ganged up on her or if it was all just child\u2019s play, as they suggest.
