Despite its significant strides in addressing human trafficking, Morocco still falls short of meeting the minimum standards for eliminating the crime, according to the United States Department of State.
According to the Central Narcotics Brigade in Spain, drug smugglers prefer to take new routes escaping the vigilance of the Iberian neighboring country. Nothing new, recalls Chakib El Khayari, an activist interested in the cultivation of cannabis in the region.
Morocco remains the biggest cannabis resin producer in the world, even though it has been ranked second in 2015 among the countries with the highest cannabis-cultivating surface eradicated. Thus announces the ODC in its annual report on reviewing the world's drug trafficking.
