Morocco and Liberia Forge New Security Alliance
In a significant move to bolster security collaboration, Morocco and Liberia have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing their cooperation in combating cross-border crime, terrorism, and violent extremism. The agreement was formalized on May 16, 2026, during a ceremony in Rabat attended by Abdellatif Hammouchi, the Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance of Morocco, and Gregory Coleman, the Inspector General of the National Police of Liberia.
This memorandum signifies a mutual commitment by both nations to strengthen their friendship and technical cooperation, as well as operational partnerships between their police services. It is founded on the belief that collaboration is essential for reinforcing shared security interests. The MoU lays the groundwork for robust police cooperation that will facilitate the fight against various forms of transnational crime, including the exchange of information, technical assistance, operational collaboration, and capacity building for security services.
Expanding Police Cooperation and Capacity Building
Additionally, the agreement outlines plans to broaden police collaboration to include coordinated efforts and action plans in critical areas such as migration management, border policing, scientific and technical policing, police training, and the development of training methodologies to enhance police capabilities. The signing of this memorandum reflects the importance of strengthening security partnerships across Africa and emphasizes the need for South-South cooperation. It also underscores the Moroccan National Security Directorate's intent to engage with new regional and international partners, thereby reinforcing the Moroccan security model and serving the higher interests of the Kingdom.
