Blog on FDI and International Trade by Alphabetical Order https://www.rozen-bakher.com/search-blog-1
This blog focuses on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade in a certain country or territory in terms of how the Location Factors (Political, Economic, Technological, Ecological, Legal and Cultural) and Entry Modes (e.g. M&As, Export and Greenfield) impact the attractiveness - or vice versa - the risks of FDI and International Trade in the certain country or territory, still, keep in mind that each risk may lead to an opportunity for resolving problems via suitable FDI and International Trade, while each opportunity for FDI and International Trade may involve risks.

Disputed Colony between Morocco and Spain
Melilla has been a Colony of Spain since 1497 and despite several attempts to recapture the city by Moroccan tribes over history, it has remained under Spain’s control, even after the Independence of Morocco. In 1995, Spain granted the Statutes of Autonomy for Melilla by replacing the City Council of Melilla with the Government of Melilla and the Assembly of Melilla, still, Morocco never recognized the sovereignty of Spain on Melilla and Ceuta by demanding their return to Morocco (see Ceuta and Melilla: Spain's enclaves in North Africa, BBC, 5 June 2021 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57305882).
