Egypt, which hosts the 32nd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, released a music video that cropped Morocco's map. The Egyptian federation was quick to react to the wave of anger, apologizing to the Kingdom and removing the video from Youtube.
On May 22, the United Nations announced the resignation of Horst Kohler from his role as the UN Secretary-General's personal envoy. Since then, Antonio Guterres has sent Morocco and Algeria names of officials that could replace the German diplomat.
Morocco is one of the countries that were included in the 2019 edition of the Good Country Index, developed by British political advisor Simon Anholt. The Kingdom was ranked 77th out of 153 countries and 4th in the Arab World.
