What did you miss?
Morocco and Spain Reopen immediately The maritime and land borders between the two countries. This was decided by Moroccan King Mohammed VI and Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez during a meeting in Rabat. This puts an end to a year-long diplomatic crisis.
This conflict revolved around the reception of a prominent member of the Polisario independence movement active in Western Sahara. And that member was transferred to a Spanish hospital due to being infected with the Corona virus, but Madrid did not inform Rabat about this. Moroccans were angry about this because they considered the Western Sahara their territory and saw the Polisario as an enemy.
The two countries’ decision is good news for European Moroccans who go on holiday to Morocco by car via Spain. Every year about three million people cross this crossing.
