CIA Factbook
The World Factbook Africa :: Morocco Introduction :: Morocco Background: In 788, about a century after the Arab conquest of North Africa, a series of Moroccan Muslim dynasties began to rule in Morocco. In the 16th century, the Sa'adi monarchy, particularly under Ahmad al-MANSUR (1578-1603), repelled foreign invaders and inaugurated a golden age. The Alaouite dynasty, to which the current Moroccan royal family belongs, dates from the 17th century. In 1860, Spain occupied northern Morocco and ushered in a half century of trade rivalry among European powers that saw Morocco's sovereignty steadily erode; in 1912, the French imposed a protectorate over the country. A protracted independence struggle with France ended successfully in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier and most Spanish possessions were turned over to the new country that same year. Sultan MOHAMMED V, the current monarch's grandfather, organized the new state as a constitutional monarchy and in 1957 assumed the title of king. Although Morocco is not the UN-recognized Administering Power for the Western Sahara, it exercises de facto administrative control there. The UN assists with direct negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario Front, but the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990s resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature, which first met in 1997. Morocco enjoys a moderately free press, but the government has taken action against journalists who they perceive to be challenging the monarchy, Islam, or the status of Western Sahara. Influenced by protests elsewhere in the region, in February 2011 thousands of Moroccans began weekly rallies in multiple cities across the country to demand greater democracy and end to government corruption.

MARITIME NEWS – 30 SEPTEMBER 2016 Royal Navy Warship Visits Durban
MARITIME NEWS – 30 SEPTEMBER 2016 Royal Navy warship visits Durban The Type 23 frigate HMS Portland arrived in Durban on Wednesday 28 Sep and berthed at the Naval Station on Salisbury Island. She hosted a special reception on 29 Sep for local dignitaries and invited guests. A Capability Demonstration has also been planned, to showcase the skills and efficiency of the Royal Navy servicemen. Organisers of the gala event say it's significant, as it's the first time in a long while that a major Royal Navy ship of its kind has sailed to the east coast. The ship is currently three-months into a nine-month deployment around the world - having set sail from Plymouth in the UK, in June. Source : East Coast Radio She will be transiting West to the South Atlantic again so Cape readers can also expect a visit by her. It is two and a half years since she was last here under Cdr Sarah West at the time. It has also been more than a year since we last had a frigate/destroyer as the South Atlantic patrol ship! Unmanned air and sea vehicles coordinate together Lockheed Martin has successfully launched a small unmanned aerial vehicle on command from its MK2 Marlin autonomous underwater vehicle. The launch was part of a cross-domain command-and- control event hosted by the U.S. Navy last month and also involved a Submaran, an unmanned surface vehicle developed by Ocean Aero, which provided surface reconnaissance and surveillance. "This effort marks a milestone in showing that an unmanned aircraft, surface vessel and undersea vehicle can communicate and complete a mission cooperatively and completely autonomously," said Kevin Schlosser, chief architect, unmanned systems technology, Lockheed Martin.

All-Party Parliamentary Group Shipbuilding and Ship Repair
1 Inquiry into the National Shipbuilding Strategy APPG Foreword As an island nation, the United Kingdom’s security and prosperity has long been associated with the seas. With the UK preparing to leave the European Union, our country’s maritime dependence is more apparent than ever and uncertainty about the UK’s sovereign capability to produce warships remains. The National Shipbuilding Strategy outlined the Government’s aspirations to reform naval procurement by reintroducing greater competition into UK shipbuilding. UK shipbuilding is primarily driven by military sources of demand and long-term national security considerations. Following its inquiry, this APPG recognises the political case for retaining the UK’s sovereign capability to produce warships. We further recognise that the UK’s position as a producer of world-class warships should be understood more widely. UK Shipbuilding has evolved from the smokestack and panel-beating industry it once was. It is now at the very forefront of innovative technologies and capabilities, as can be observed by the export success of the Type 26 frigate. However, the current ‘feast or famine’ nature of military demand threatens our ability to maintain the sovereign capability to produce warships. The National Shipbuilding Strategy significantly reduces the scope of ships that the UK is qualified to build and threatens the long-term viability of our fragile shipyards. Its approach to naval procurement is not novel. Its concepts have been tried, tested and have failed before. The very shape of today’s UK shipbuilding industry is a result of rationalisation, following a period of policies urging shipbuilders to compete with each other and yards going bust.
