“Morocco, with its special geographic position, moved from an origin country for legal immigrants to a transit country for clandestine migrants, coming specifically from sub-Saharan countries, UN interagency coordinator in Morocco, Marc Fawe said.
“Morocco’s geopolitical position close to Europe is at the same time a challenge and an opportunity for development,” added Fawe who stressed that the UN in close collaboration with the European Union assists Morocco and other concerned countries to address this phenomenon throughout 50 initiatives involving NGOs and local administrations in original projects linking migration to development.
According to him, migration also contributes to exchange of ideas and information at the international level. However, migration has also limitations related to entry access and control reinforced by boarders’ security in host countries, which incited many to migrate clandestinely.
This policy obliges several people, most of them young, students, and refugees to live in illegal and marginalized situation which makes them victim of inacceptable exploitation.
