[ad_1] Rabat – The United States has announced that it will deny and revoke visas for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of next month’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. The US State Department said on Friday that the move was meant to hold the Palestinian leadership “accountable” for what it called a failure to meet commitments and for “undermining the prospects of peace.”  The statement accused the PA of supporting terrorism, referring to Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, and attempting to bypass negotiations by taking cases of Israeli…

[ad_1] Algeria’s President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has just dismissed Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui and appointed Sifi Ghrieb in his place, marking the fourth time he has replaced his cabinet chief since taking office in 2019. This revolving-door approach to leadership, with a new prime minister roughly every two years, reflects a deeper pattern: a blame-shifting strategy that sacrifices heads of government to shield the presidency from accountability. Tebboune’s tenure has been defined by erratic governance and policy reversals. Each prime minister has been discarded amid crises or public dissatisfaction, allowing Tebboune to deflect criticism while maintaining control. The latest dismissal follows…

[ad_1] Casablanca – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit China this weekend for the first time in seven years, in a trip that will see him meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin as New Delhi’s relations with Washington take a sharp downturn.  Modi’s four-day tour, which also included a stop in Japan, comes just days after the United States doubled tariffs on Indian exports to 50%, targeting roughly $60 billion worth of goods.  The move has shaken years of growing strategic cooperation between Delhi and Washington, which had been built on shared security…

[ad_1] Morocco, under the far-sighted leadership of King Mohammed VI, is moving forward and the more it advances, the more its enemies become agitated to the point of waging a smear campaign targeting the country’s unity and stability. The North African Kingdom is establishing itself as a regional power, expanding its African influence, gaining growing international recognition of its sovereignty over its Sahara and projecting an image of stability in a fractured world. Morocco’s economic and industrial achievements and rising star in the region unsettle apparently those who struggle to admit that a country of the south, once underdeveloped, is…
