Morocco’s counterterrorism strategy highlighted by French think-tank

Morocco’s strong commitment to the fight against terrorism and violent extremism was scrutinized in a report by the Institute for Applied Geopolitics Studies, published under the direction of Manon Chemel and Alexandre Negrus.

The report, titled “Morocco: what status vis-à-vis France and Europe?” highlighted the North African country’s comprehensive and multidimensional approach to respond to the various threats stemming from radicalization and terrorism, and shed light on police and judicial cooperation between Morocco, Europe and African states.

Faced with the terrorist threat from the Sahelo-Saharan strip and the Iraqi-Syrian zone, the Kingdom has taken measures that provided responses to security issues at the national, regional and even international level, underlined the authors of the report.

On the other hand, the kingdom has been able to restructure the religious field, in addition to the constant and operational commitment of the DGST to strengthen international cooperation against terrorism.

Morocco is also adopting a “global and multidimensional approach” to the security and humanitarian challenge linked to migratory flows, according to the report of the French think tank, founded in 2015 and specialized in international relationships.

The authors of the report also addressed the “decisive issue” of the Sahara conflict and analyzed from a geostrategic point of view the positions of the great powers, while focusing on the prospects of the French position.

At the economic level, the report analyzes the economic, geoeconomic and political perspectives of cooperation between Europe and Africa, emphasizing that Morocco remains a “resilient economy.”
