RABAT, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Morocco's compulsory military service for young men and women starts this year for the first time since 2006, the Moroccan Interior Ministry announced on Monday.
A total of 133,820 Moroccans filled the compulsory military service census forms, including 13,614 young women, at a percent of 10.17, who did it voluntarily, the ministry said.
According to the state budget for 2019, a total of 40,000 female and male citizens aged between 19-25 will do military service for 12 months.
The voluntary military service census took place from April 9 to June 7, 2019.
