SUMMARYEuropean countries have worked closely with Morocco and Tunisia on security, providing training and equipment for counter-terrorism and conducting some joint operations with Morocco. Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria reacted strongly to this wave of terrorist attacks. According to Moroccan security practitioners, however, the country still lacks expertise in cyber security, an area that the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces oversees. The EU has worked closely with both Tunisia and Morocco to combat the threat of jihadist terrorism within their territory and in Europe. In Morocco, European countries, particularly France and Spain, should encourage and support measures to combat corruption and abusive practices within the security services.
