In its 2024 achievements report, the Interior Ministry said that since 2002, Moroccan security agencies have dismantled over 200 terrorist cells involved in inciting violence, operating both domestically and in various global conflict zones, particularly in the Sahel-Saharan region and the Syrian-Iraqi scene.

In 2023 alone, five cells were dismantled and 17 individuals were arrested. As of the end of September 2024, four additional cells were dismantled, leading to the arrest of 16 individuals.

A terrorist network consisting of four individuals, aged 35 to 40, was disrupted in Tangier, Casablanca, Beni Mellal, and Inzegane. They were involved in recruiting and sending fighters to join ISIS in the Sahel region south of the Sahara.

The Ministry of Interior reported that national authorities have gained significant expertise in combating terrorism through a proactive security approach to neutralize threats at their source.

This strategy emphasizes continuous coordination and strict adherence to regulations that uphold human rights and the rule of law.
