	Morocco (07/06)
		Morocco was among the first Arab and Islamic states to denounce the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and declare solidarity with the American people in the war against terror.
		Morocco's claim to sovereignty over the Western Sahara is based largely on a historical argument of traditional loyalty of the Sahrawi tribal leaders to the Moroccan sultan as spiritual leader and ruler.
		Morocco was the first country to seek diplomatic relations with the Government of the United States in 1777, and remains one of our oldest and closest allies in the region.

	MOROCCO, NORTHERN AFRICA
		The soils along the coast of Morocco are allomorphic and humus-carbonate; inland areas have podzolic and steppe soils.
		Morocco gains much foreign exchange from remittances by Moroccans working abroad and from the expenditures of the 3.5 million tourists who visit the country each year.
		Morocco's provinces are administered by governors who are appointed by the king and serve at the pleasure of the central government.

		Domestic violence is increasing in Morocco, according to a national survey which revealed that 60 per cent of violence cases concern married women aged 20 to 49 years and 59.8 pc are the consequence of disputes over child custody, divorce and alimony.
		In Morocco, tuberculosis incidence is still high, with about 30 000 new cases are recorded each year, in spite of a level of HIV infection that remains of quite low concern and the application since 1991 of a WHO strategy called DOTS (2).
		Morocco has a long tradition of olive oil production and olive oil is an increasingly important export item as lucrative markets in China and Asia are increasing their demand for the high quality oil.

	EUROPE’S DRUG CONSUMPTION STIMULATES CANNABIS CULTIVATION IN MOROCCO
		“Morocco has acted with courage and exposed the extent of domestic cannabis cultivation. But the question must be addressed blending demand and supply measures. It is Europe’s turn to focus especially on preventive measures, reducing cannabis consumption among the youth.
		Costa attributed the rise of the cannabis production in Northern Morocco to the three factors: its ancient origin; the poverty of a densely populated region; and the spectacular expansion of cannabis consumption since the 1970s.
		The cannabis production in Morocco, as elsewhere in the world, is to a large extent market-driven activity. Farmers raise a total revenue of $214 million; however, the total market value of Moroccan cannabis resin is estimated at $12 billion. Most of this money is made by the trafficking networks operating in Europe.

	Toward Freedom - Western Sahara: Morocco's repression continues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Despite reports of Morocco’s escalating repression of the Saharawi independence movement, the resolution passed by the Security Council merely extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), a 15-year-old "peacekeeping" mission that has failed to facilitate a referendum on self determination.
		Since Morocco and Polisario agreed to a ceasefire in 1991, the Moroccan government has prevented a referendum (a condition of the ceasefire) from taking place by obstructing updating of the electoral roll, and has continued to deny a vote on independence.
		Morocco’s King Hassan II, who was facing a domestic crisis at the time, ordered the "green march", a contingent of 350,000 civilians aimed at seizing Western Sahara.

		The provinces of Chauen, Larache, Nador, Rif, Tangier, and Tetuan corresponded to Spanish Morocco (the northern protectorate).
		Since Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara is not internationally recognized, we must regard this third part as a separate Laâyoune province in Morocco.

	USAID CP FY97 - Morocco
		Morocco is turning increasingly to the United States to expand business ties, and seeks to emulate the United States in many aspects of its social and economic development.
		Morocco stands at a cross-roads where it must choose between (1) economic and political liberalization involvingtransparency and greater empowerment and participation of Moroccans in the economic, political, and social life of the country; or (2) the status quo and the elitism of the past, whereby few gained disproportionately.
		Morocco's economic and social development is jeopardized by a range of environmental issues which threaten the basis for agricultural production and exports, the integrity of sensitive ecosystems and human health.

		This struggle opposes Morocco to the Algerian-backed Polisario Front, which has tried to separate the provinces, known as Moroccan Sahara.
		I don't want to burst anybody's bubble, but the reason the Polisario tried to separate the West Saharan territories from Morocco was that Morocco annexed them forcibly.
		And since this is a protest staged by the Moroccan monarchy, and a pretty brutal one at that, against Algeria, a democracy, I really don't think that this involves a yearning for freedom.
