Morocco has achieved a success story in the north of the country during two decades of Mohamed VI's reign in strengthening the local economy, to the point that the northern region has become an international hub for investment mega-projects.
Tanger Med port, Renault car plant, High-Speed train, and hundreds of world companies that settled in the northern industrial zones are all bearing witness to the evolution that happened in the north and made Tangier the second economic hub in the country after Casablanca.
The weight of economic investment in the north of Morocco has become very heavy in the scale of Moroccan exports, for example, the Renault plant in Tangier made Car sector is the most Morocco's exports among other sectors, it exceeded even the Phosphate exports which was main and primary Morocco's exports for many decades.
It seems that the decision-makers in Morocco do not want to stop here and want to continue this success story, but this time in the southern provinces, in the Sahara regions where they want to implement the country's economic vision to make Morocco stronger in front of Europe and Africa.
After the US recognition of the Sahara's Morocanness, Morocco considered that step a turning point in Sahara's dispute. The United States recognition will play an important role in pushing other countries to adopt the Sahara region's Moroccan autonomy initiative. So, everything seems optimistic.
In parallel with the Moroccan projects under construction in the South of the country, decision-makers in Morocco work with enthusiasm to convince investors from the globe to invest in the Sahara region, and many of them expressed their intention to do so.
The United States is expected to be one of the major investors in the south of Morocco after the recognition, and it announced officially the opening of a US consulate in the city of Dakhla to follow and monitor the American investments there that will start with 4 billion dollars of investments according to US media reports.
The future of the Sahara regions in Morocco looks promising, and observers believe that Morocco can write down another success story and probably ends the conflict that lasted decades without any solution.
