Hillary's Clinton visit to Morocco

US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, visited Morocco on February 26 for a day. She was coming back from Tunisia where a conference of the Friends of Syria took place on the 24. The purpose of her visit to Morocco was just to reinforce relations between the two countries. She also met the new Moroccan minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Saas El Dine El Othmani. One of the talks she had was about the Western Sahara in order to support Moroccan proposal to give more autonomy to the region that is still claimed by Saharouis. She is in favor of a peaceful solution, although Western Sahara is "de facto" Moroccan. She also spoke with her Moroccan counterpart about security in the region. The only mistake she made was to say that Morocco is a democratic country. She is wrong but she probably knows it. The United States don't really want to get involved in the internal situation but they should demand more democracy in the country and the end of the importance of the king in the country. But that will not happen soon. Unfortunately.
