The decision taken by Algeria to host the Syrian refugees stranded in the Moroccan-Algerian borders, next to Figuig, has reassured a number of human rights activists. In a video published on social media on Monday, one of the Syrian refugees confirmed that the Moroccan army has stopped them from entering the Algerian territory.
Morocco is one of the most peaceful countries in the Middle East and North Africa. According to the 2017 Global Peace Index, the Kingdom is ranked 75th among 163 nations making progress compared to last year and other neighboring countries.
