Morocco's Saharan provinces are the focus of a constant commitment by the Kingdom of Morocco - the number one local investor and employer - to the well-being and development of the people of these regions.
Morocco is dedicating considerable efforts to the expansion of its energy portfolio its Southern Provinces. While the electrical capacity in 1975 did not exceed 7 megawatts, it now reaches more than 1700 MW, of which more than 1300 MW comes from renewable energy sources.
The socio-economic development of the Southern Regions of Morocco is fundamentally linked to the development of the Kingdom as a whole. The measures taken in favor of this development meet the same requirements throughout the Moroccan territory.
More than 7,997 associations listed today in the Southern Provinces of Morocco operate in the field of civil and political rights. Further, they also protect fundamental rights and freedoms.
Seven years after the establishment of the Development Model dedicated to its southern Provinces, Morocco is now reaping the benefits of a unique, inclusive and sustainable regional strategy.
The “Polisario Front” was created by Gaddafi's regime and Algeria in the midst of the Cold War, in 1973, in a world then polarized between the communist bloc and the Western bloc. “Polisario” is a remnant of an ideology that is now defunct, but whose traces are still visible in its outdated approaches to the realities of the current world.
