Key facts and figures from the ETF study “Migration and skills”
•    42% Moroccans declare intention to emigrate; regions where highest number of people declares intent to migrate are Agadir (52%) and  Marrakesh (49%)
•    Only 9% of the potential migrants has proper information, documents and money to emigrate
•    The main destinations are France (32% of returnees), Spain (21%), and Italy (15%)
•    Moroccans prefer long-term emigration: 53% of returnees stayed abroad more than 7 years
•    Economic situation is the main declared reason for migration, but the level of economic well-being doesn’t influence the propensity to migration
•    60% of returnees worked at the time of the survey, while only 46% of potential migrants had a job, which suggest migration’s positive impact on employability
•    31% of returnees, mainly those with higher education, benefited from training while abroad
•    62% of migrants said they learnt a language or acquired other technical or professional skills, but only one third of migrants had their Moroccan qualifications officially recognised
•    Migration doesn’t improve the standard of living of the returnees: 74% of them were poor
•    There is little awareness of the government’s programmes for migrants
•    Moroccans return to their country mainly for family reasons (26%); only 5% come back to invest

Saharawi trials

The sentencing of 24 Saharawi activists by a Moroccan military tribunal last weekend is a travesty of justice. 

This appears to have been a politically motivated show trial.
