Morocco improved its ranking to 90th out of 193 countries in the 2024 E-Government Index, moving up 11 places from 2022. The report highlighted Morocco's steady progress in digital governance since 2008, placing it fourth in Africa behind South Africa, Mauritius, and Tunisia.
The UN Secretary-General warns against «escalation» in the Sahara. In a new report on the situation in the territory, Antonio Guterres stressed that «it is critical for a ceasefire to be re-established», which was broken by the Polisario on November 13, 2020.
