A Big Mac-apology to Moroccans.




As our previous story was about "The lure of Moroccan food" we decided to post this small story about our least favourite restaurant in Fez.

According to Al-Tajdid, McDonald's has published an apology to all Moroccans:

The McDonald's fast food chain in Morocco has apologized for publishing a map it distributed in its Happy Meals that did not include the Morocco's Western Sahara within the country's borders.

In its letter of apology, which followed a public protest, the chain expressed its regret for the "inaccurate" demarcation of Morocco's border. Morocco and the "Polisario Front" are still in dispute over sovereignty of the area.
