Casablanca- Terrorist threats against the Kingdom have caused the Royal Armed Forces to urgently mobilize at the borders with the two neighboring countries, Algeria and Mauritania.
The bulk of Moroccan press recently highlighted the heavy security measures taken by Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces to counter any terrorist threats that would potentially come through the borders with Mauritania and Algeria.
Strict security measures were also implemented everywhere in the Kingdom. Many Moroccans suspected of being affiliated with ISIS were arrested. Others were put under constant surveillance, and some were summoned for an identity check, according to Al Ahdath Al Maghribiya and other Moroccan newspapers.
Al Ahdath also highlighted the fact that the closed borders between the Kingdom and Algeria may significantly hinder effective cooperation against potential terrorist threats in the region.
Anti-terrorist security cooperation between the U.S., France, Spain, and Morocco has been more beneficial. According to the same source, many terrorist groups were dismantled thanks to this cooperation.
