For about ten years, the Russian automobile manufacturer Kamaz, a leader in the production of heavy trucks, has been seeking to establish itself in Morocco, one of its priority expansion markets in Africa. It has not given up on this ambition.

Morocco is considering quickly acquiring two submarines to strengthen its naval forces. While France, Germany and Russia are offering new submarines, Portugal and Greece are ready to cede used vessels to the kingdom.

In crisis with Morocco, Algeria is multiplying arms acquisitions produced in Russia and China. However, it seeks to avoid open conflict.

In Casablanca, a Russian diplomat found himself, despite himself, in the middle of a dispute between a taxi professional and a driver of a VTC booking application.
