In a letter sent to Prime Minister Saadeddine El Othmani, the head of Yemen’s Houthi movement thanked Morocco for «ceasing» military operations with Saudi-led coalition. This comes as Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said that Morocco is still part of the coalition.
Concerned about the economic future of Ceuta and Melilla, a Spanish political formation has urged the government to sign a new treaty with Morocco. The initiative aims at solving border issues with the Kingdom.
Despite being stuck in the Yemen war against the Houthi rebels, Saudi Arabia is planning to send ground troops to Syria to fight against ISIS and Morocco is highly impacted by this new decision.
After 6 months of post-election deadlock, AKA blockage, members of the recently appointed prime minister’s cabinet were finally appointed by King Mohammed VI. The official procedure took place at the royal palace in Rabat, where 39 ministers and secretaries of state were sworn in. The ministerial posts’ list included familiar names who were able to keep their positions in the new government.
