Moroccan Army Inspector General Engages with Saudi Coalition Against Terrorism
General Mohamed Berrid, Inspector General of the Moroccan Armed Forces, visits Saudi Arabia to discuss enhancing cooperation against terrorism with the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, which Morocco joined in 2015. His visit is scheduled from March 16 to 21, following directives from King Mohammed VI.
General Mohamed Berrid, the Inspector General of the Royal Armed Forces of Morocco, is currently visiting Saudi Arabia. His visit includes a tour of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition’s headquarters, which was established in March 2015 by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. During this visit, discussions centered around mutual interests and enhancing cooperation in the fight against terrorism, as reported by the Coalition on their platform, X.
Morocco has been a member of this military coalition since its inception in 2015. The Royal Armed Forces of Morocco have previously engaged in operations against the Houthis in Yemen. However, tensions between Rabat and Riyadh led Morocco to modify its level of participation, as indicated by Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita during an interview with Al Jazeera in January 2019.
General Berrid’s visit, following directives from King Mohammed VI, is set to take place from March 16 to March 21. This period highlights Morocco’s ongoing commitment to addressing terrorism and furthering military collaboration with Saudi Arabia.
In summary, General Mohamed Berrid’s visit to Saudi Arabia underscores Morocco’s commitment to combating terrorism through collaborative efforts within the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition. Despite previous adjustments in participation due to political tensions, the visit promotes dialogue and cooperation aimed at mutual objectives in security and counter-terrorism strategies.
