- About Morocco
- Morocco, officially the Kingdom of
Morocco, is a country in North
- Africa with a population of 33,241,259. It
has a long coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar
into the Mediterranean Sea. Morocco has international borders with Algeria to
the east, Spain to the north (a water border through the Strait and land borders
with two small Spanish exclaves, Ceuta and Melilla), and Western Sahara or
Mauritania to the south.
- Morocco is the only African country that is
not currently a member of the African Union. However, it is a member of the Arab
League, Arab Maghreb Union, Organization of the Islamic Conference,
Mediterranean Dialogue group, and Group of 77, and is a major non-NATO ally of
the United States.
- The full Arabic name of Morocco, Al-Mamlaka
al-Maghribiya, translates to "The Western Kingdom".

- Al Maghrib
(meaning "The West") is commonly used. For historical
references,
historians used to refer to Morocco as Al Maghrib al Aqşá
("The Farthest West"), disambiguating it from the historical region
called the Maghreb. The name "Morocco" in many other languages
originates from the name of the former capital, Marrakech.
- Berber Morocco
- The area of modern Morocco has been inhabited
since Neolithic times, at least 8000 BC, as attested by signs of the Capsian
culture, in a time when the Maghreb was less arid than it is today. Many
theorists believe the Berber language probably arrived at roughly the same time
as agriculture (see Berber), and was adopted by the existing population as well
as the immigrants that brought it. Modern genetic analyses have confirmed that
various populations have contributed to the present-day population, including
(in addition to the main Berber and Arab groups) Phoenicians, Sephardic Jews,
and a very limited amount of sub-Saharan Africans. The Berbers, often referred
to in modern ethnic activist circles as "Amazigh," are more commonly
known as "Berber" or by their regional ethnic identity, such as
Chleuh. In the classical period, Morocco was known as Mauretania, although this
should not be confused with the modern country of Mauritania.
