AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoFranco-Moroccan Energy Push: France’s PM Sébastien Lecornu met Rabat’s Aziz Akhannouch and said Paris’ Western Sahara position is “unwavering” as a new bilateral treaty is prepared; talks also flagged a Morocco-to-France renewable electricity export project aimed at linking both economies into shared value chains. Occupied-Sahara Land & Water Business: Sahrawi groups condemned Engie-linked expansion in occupied Western Sahara after Morocco launched another tender for over 1,090 hectares of farmland irrigated via the Dakhla desalination scheme, calling it settlement-facilitating resource exploitation. EU Aviation Rules: The European Parliament approved an update to the EU-Morocco aviation pact that includes Croatia but keeps Western Sahara excluded, a move Sahrawi advocates cite as a legal signal against Rabat’s control of Saharan airspace. Diplomacy With Economic Deals: During Lecornu’s Rabat visit, 14 cooperation agreements were signed across economy, security, migration, defence, rail and water policy, with France pitching closer ties after its 2024 Sahara shift. Human Rights Pressure: Sahrawi activist Naâma Asfari’s hunger strike entered a critical phase, while union leaders in Costa Rica met to press for medical transfer and attention to other prisoners.
