After the US recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and while the USA is readying to open a consulate in Dakhla, the complete undivided map of Morocco is officially adopted by several American administrations and agencies. Thus, after the US administration, US embassies, and the Pentagon, the CIA has also updated the Kingdom’s map. As of Thursday January 7, on official CIA maps, there is no longer any “Western Sahara” geographically separated by imaginary dotted lines from the rest of the territory of Morocco. “I am delighted to present the map of the Kingdom of Morocco officially adopted by the American government,” the American diplomat had said, during a press briefing. NATO also updated the Moroccan map that it posted on its website, including the Sahara provinces.
