I’m not into computer games, but this story caught my eye because it is yet another example of technological advances in Morocco. I was impressed when I was there in April with how good the technology infrastructure has become in just the last 10 years. Morocco so seldom gets noticed for this. We talk so much about the Asian tigers for example, but Morocco’s economy is weathering the current economic tempest remarkably with remarkable poise.
All is not well, of course. Far too many people are still struggling in poverty, education still hasn’t reached everyone and still needs rather significant reforms, corruption is still an issue (though much less of one now that it is no longer tolerated), and there is still far too much bureaucracy. But some or all of these problems exist in some form in many places. Where they don’t, other problems do. The fact is that Morocco is developing rapidly and its potential is great. I can say that with total conviction.
