«The Green March enabled Morocco to recover its southern provinces.
As a result, the map of the Kingdom has changed. It is perhaps hard to believe that Rabat is, in fact, located in the country’s far north, and that Agadir is the center of the country.
Indeed, the distance between Agadir and Tangier is roughly the same as that between Agadir and the Saharan provinces.»
