The BBC's Guy Hedgecoe reports from the North African nation of Morocco which has long been a country of transit for Sub-Saharan African migrants. In the past, they would usually arrive in Morocco with the intention of getting to Europe, often risking a dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea. Now, many of those migrants are shunning Europe and staying in Morocco itself to start a new life.
