Formerly a French and a Spanish protectorate, Morocco became an independent kingdom in 1956. Its government is a limited democracy with an executive monarchy.

Islam, the state religion, was brought by invading Arab armies in the seventh century, and the government is committed to it's preservation as the religion of all Moroccans. Though other religious groups are tolerated, persecution and intimidation has steadily increased since 1968.
80% of the population has never had contact with the gospel.

For further information and specific prayer points for Morocco, look up the book "Operation World" by Patrick Johnstone.
