Africa North
Sahara of Discord: Political Crisis in Algeria and Morocco
2021-12-21
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The global economic crisis and the fall in world oil and energy prices hit the Middle East and North Africa region seriously, as oil exports are traditionally the main source of income for most of the region's countries. The second challenge for the region's economy was the COVID pandemic, which left the region's beaches and hotels without tourists. And each new month of the crisis further aggravates the economic situation in the region.

But this is only one aspect of the regional crisis. In Morocco, economic problems have exposed many internal political divisions. The government has proven unable to curb the crisis and offer new jobs for the tourism sector. To support the tourist business, direct investments are made from the country's economic reserves, which, alas, are far from unlimited.

Moreover, the voices of supporters of reforms demanding the abolition of the monarchy have increased in the country. The pro-democracy movement in Morocco has received many supporters who believe that the country's economic problems are largely related to the corruption of officials close to the royal family.
