The status of the territory is still unresolved and the camps remain, the inhabitants entirely reliant on foreign aid.

A migrant from Nigeria checks himself in a mirror, Oujda, Morocco. Illegal migrants from subsaharan Africa but also as far as Afghanistan or Bungladesh end up in makeshift camps in the forests surrounding the Moroccan eastern town of Oujda, close to the porous Algerian border. Many wait many years for an opportunity to enter Europe either by boat or by smuggling themselves into one of the Spanish enclaves, Ceuta and Melilla. Many migrants report abuses by the Morocan police forces or organised gangs of many nationalities, young women are particularly at risk.

Anfgou, a little-known Berber village in Morocco's High Atlas, shot into the headlines in the winter of 2006-2007 after more than 30 inhabitants perished in freezing weather. Cut off by snow for several months of the year, Anfgou and other Berber mountain villages lack basic services and their daily life and culture are shaped by a harsh environment. The local Berber culture is often viewed as inferior and unsophisticated by lowland Moroccans. Since the death of King Hassan II in 1999, Berber activists have revived a debate over their linguistic and cultural heritage as a distinct strand of Moroccan identity and King Mohamed VI has established a royal institute to promote Berber culture. But these moves have met with resistance from some pan-Arabists who deny even the existence of a civilization in Morocco before the Arab invasion.
