Description

For centuries the Kingdom of Morocco, located in the northwest corner of Africa, has been a crossroads for trade between Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. Today this country is known for its exotic mix of Arab, African, and Western cultures and traditions. Since Morocco gained its independence in 1956, the country has struggled to emerge from its colonial past. The country’s current ruler, the young King Mohammed VI, has taken steps toward developing democratic political institutions and protecting the human rights of Moroccan citizens. Many experts believe that if Morocco succeeds in achieving its goal of a more modern and stable society, it may serve as an example for African and Arab countries alike.

Description

Early Arab geographers referred to Morocco as Al-Maghreb al-Aqsa-“the farthest land of the setting sun.” Today this country in the northwest corner of Africa-long a crossroads for trade from Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, and the East-retains a distinctly exotic feel, with its colorful mix of Middle Eastern, African, and Western cultures. But Morocco is also a nation struggling to emerge from a difficult colonial past and a recent history of human-rights violations. If the country succeeds in its quest to develop stable and democratic political institutions as well as a vibrant economy-and to accomplish these goals without violence-Morocco may serve as a powerful example to the Arab world. Discusses the geography, history, economy, government, religion, people, foreign relations, and major cities of Morocco.
