Initially, these changes concern the elements of the police who have spent long years in Moroccan embassies in the Gulf countries, say sources of the daily Akhbar Al Yaoum.

The head of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) Abdellatif Hammouchi discovered that some police officers have stayed too long in their positions in Moroccan embassies of Arab countries, mainly the United Arab Emirates, where some agents have spent sometimes decades.

In recent years, several policemen had denounced the "cronyism" and "interventions" in the appointment of police officers assigned to these highly sought after positions in the DGNS.
