UN records contradict this absolute claim.

• In Morocco's 2007 declaration deposited with the United Nations when ratifying the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, Morocco stated that "Sebta, Melilia ... are Moroccan territories" and that it "has never ceased to demand the recovery of these territories".
• Earlier, in a 1975 letter from Morocco's Permanent Representative to the United Nations to the Special Committee on Decolonization, Morocco asked that Ceuta and Melilla be included on the UN list of non-self-governing territories.

So the article's statement that no Moroccan government has expressed such a demand to the UN or a similar international body is factually wrong. Morocco has done so in formal UN-linked documents.

The article says these manufacturers run sites producing aircraft engines in Morocco, but the companies' own descriptions do not support that.

• Airbus says its Morocco sites are specialized in "the assembly of metal sub-assemblies, sections and bent piping" and composite work — not aircraft-engine production.
• Boeing says its Morocco-linked production involves machined structural parts for the 737 MAX and a supplier ecosystem including wiring, tubes and composites — again, not Boeing-run aircraft-engine production sites in Morocco.
• Safran says its long-standing Moroccan engine activity is maintenance of aircraft engines. Safran separately announced in October 2025 a new LEAP-1A engine assembly line in Casablanca, but said that facility would be operational by the end of 2027. So as of this article's July 2026 publication date, that engine-assembly plant was not yet operating.

Morocco does have a substantial aerospace industry, and Safran has announced future engine-assembly capacity there. But the specific present-tense claim that Safran, Boeing and Airbus already run sites producing aircraft engines in Morocco is inaccurate.
