Morocco is a lower middle-income country with a per capita GDP of $3,190 in 2014 and a population of about 34 million (World Bank 2016b). The country’s geographical location, stretching from the strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean in the north to the contested territory of the Western Sahara and the Mauritanian border in the south give it a strategic position. Morocco’s claim to the territory of the Western Sahara (its “Southern Provinces”) led it to leave the African Union, which recognizes the status of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as a state (Zisenwine 2011: 72).
