Morocco’s National Strategy on Immigration and Asylum, adopted in 2013, has yet to yield a formal asylum law, leaving many asylum seekers without clear legal protections. Currently, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) manages the registration and refugee status determination process in Morocco, as officials have not established a national framework. While recognized refugees are entitled to documentation and the ability to apply for residence permits, they often face significant challenges in accessing employment and support services. Aid organizations attempt to assist, but resources are limited, leaving many refugees in precarious conditions. Recent statistics indicate that only 80 refugees have secured formal employment opportunities out of over 22,000 registered individuals. As the situation remains uncertain, individuals like Ali navigate a complex landscape of legal barriers and fears of deportation, while the prospect of resettlement to safer countries seems increasingly unlikely.
