Sorry, I didn't mean to say they were a rich country, but had the means to advance rapidly compared to other third world countries. Algeria had 186B$ of cash and was debt free. It even lent 5B$ to the IMF[1].

One key motivator for Morocco to seek alternatives to Oil, is it's neighbor and arch enemy Algeria. Think of it like USA vs Russia and their race to be the Nr 1. All the advancement in telecommunication, Space, Robotics..etc are partly due to this race. Algeria actively supports separatists in the Sahara (Polisario front) for independence. Algeria was a very rich country until the recent demise of Oil price. Morocco has to compete with a neighbor with a very big budget and a military that is buying more and more sophisticated equipment and arsenal. Alternatives had to be found. So for energy, independence is a must have for Morocco, dictated by a geo-political environment that is not stable and very volatile.

There is even a discount if you pay back the full amount of money. I think it was around 25% but I'm not sure.

I tried a lot of things and the only thing that seem to be working is putting all websites on HOST file (Win/Sys32/Driver/etc) and blocking them there. I block all addictive sites all week except Friday Night and weekend. It worked for 2 consecutive weeks. Today I got another laptop and can't do the blocking (don't have admin rights), so I'm back to surfing again.

I used to live in Chelsea (zone 1) in 1 bedroom flat and was paying 1300. This was last year.
