2009

The Norwegian embassy's alleged improper sheltering of 2 dual-citizenship children (of Khalid Skah and Cecilie Hopstock) during their escape in 2009, led to a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.[1] The children stayed at the embassy for 3 days.[2] On the following day, Norway's ambassador (Bjørn Blokhus) left Morocco.[3] One year after the incident, Moroccan authorities had not approved any new ambassador from Norway.[3]
