What is going on in that country today

A current event in Morocco is that this country is exploring a new way to get energy. It was news in early March 2013 when the first solar plane made an intercontinental flight and landed in Morocco from Spain. This flight landed in Morocco because Spain admires Morocco's plan for solar energy. Morocco has announced that they will be spending around 9 billion dollars to create solar energy plants and the country is planning to build a total of 5 solar energy plants. 

Currently, Morocco main problem is with its environment and public issues. Droughts and desertification is one of the growing burdens in the country. This is due to the mountains that loom in the north, and the dry winds that blow from the Sahara. However, this is just one of the concerns. Pollution is another factor crippling the environment. Water is often now contaminated by raw sewage. Moreover, oil spills are not being dealt with properly and certainly not quick enough. 

Some social issues are Morocco’s child labor force. Children under 15 are even forced to work today, and it is one of the debated problems people go against. Others, nevertheless, says that children are a vital asset to the region and is a necessity in order to maintain a stable economy. Despite of the large field of jobs and businesses, poverty is still lingers, taking over 15% of the population; jobs, 10% unemployment.
