        Thank you for the file.

        Afraid that's nothing to do with that. Both Guelmim-Oued Noun and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra were formed in Sep 2015. Not all changes in recent 10 years are in Map Charts. Both are partially within the disputed territory of Western Sahara.  From maps point of view Microsoft keeps neutrality in such cases.

        If play with maps.bing.com it shows other places together with region as Country-Region-Province-Place, for example

        but for these two regions their names are skipped, e.g.

        Please note, I don't discuss politics, above is only my guess why so. Perhaps I'm wrong. In any case I'd send a frown to Microsoft - within your file Help->Feedback->I don't like something.

        Here is your file attached if someone else would like to play with it.
