Colombia–Morocco Deal: Colombia’s new government has reversed its earlier stance and now recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, withdrawing recognition of the Polisario-linked Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, after talks in Cali with Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita; officials say the shift opens the door to deeper political and economic cooperation, including a possible future free trade agreement. US–Morocco Pressure Loop: The same diplomatic momentum is echoed by US lawmakers pushing a bipartisan bill to investigate alleged Polisario ties to Iran, with potential sanctions and a terrorism designation if claims are upheld. Ceuta Border Shock: The week’s biggest business-and-trade spillover risk for the region remains the Ceuta mass border breach, where tens of thousands crossed from Morocco into Spain’s enclave, overwhelming services and triggering EU-wide political fallout; reports say most migrants were returned, but thousands remained in the city, keeping uncertainty high for cross-border movement and regional stability. Migration as Leverage: Multiple reports frame the Ceuta episode as “weaponised” migration and a geopolitical bargaining tool, with Morocco’s role and European policy coordination under intense scrutiny. Sahara Infrastructure Signal: Morocco also continues to tie Western Sahara recognition to investment messaging, including naming major infrastructure after US President Donald Trump, reinforcing the commercial angle of the dispute.
