Morocco World News (MWN) is an English language e-newspaper with its headquarters in Rabat and Washington, D.C. It publishes news about Morocco and MENA region on a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, international relations, lifestyle, technology, culture, sports, and Western Sahara.

MWN[1] was founded in May 2011 by Samir[2] and Adnane Bennis,[3] two Moroccan brothers living at the time in New York City. In 2017, it relocated its US headquarters from New York City to Washington, DC. By 2019, MWN counted journalists and editors in Washington DC, New York City, Rabat, Essaouira, Fes, and the Netherlands.

Samir Bennis has served as its editor-in-chief, a political analyst and author since its inception. Adnane Bennis has been the managing editor. Both maintain a very nationalist stance with respect to the Moroccan position on Western Sahara and that is reflected within Morocco World News.

## Reception
