Parliamentary elections taking place today (October 7) in the North African nation of Morocco are vital. It will be recalled that Morocco was the only North African nation to smoothly glide over the pro-democracy Arab Spring wave that rocked the region in 2011. These important reforms saw Morocco emerge stronger. In any case, whoever comes to power in Morocco must be aware of the huge responsibility that awaits him. For Morocco has not only emerged as an island of stability in North Africa but also as a responsible voice in the Arab world.
