[ad_1] Rabat — Algeria stubbornly clings to its outdated and isolated narrative on Western Sahara amid global support for Morocco’s cause. Earlier this week, Algeria’s President Abdelmadjid Tebboune reaffirmed his country’s traditional stance, stating that his country will “never abandon Western Sahara.”  Tebboune made his remarks at the Ministry of National Defense headquarters on October 9. Addressing officials from the People’s National Army, Tebboune claimed that his country would resolve “so that Sahrawis can have the opportunity to determine their own future.” Tebboune also appeared visibly incensed and frustrated over the mounting global support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan and sovereignty…

[ad_1] Rabat – Morocco are the new standard in football. Their 1–0 win against Bahrain was their fifteenth straight victory, matching the world record of 15 wins held by Spain in 2008–2009), and, by some accounts, Germany.

The streak started in March 2023, after Morocco’s 4th place in the 2022 World Cup—a tournament that changed the face of Moroccan football. Instead of simply peaking in Qatar, Regragui’s team turned that momentum into long-term progress. After the Bahrain…

[ad_1] Rabat – Washington is on its 11th day of a federal-wide government shutdown.  The shutdown was a result of fiscal disagreement and stalemate –  or “lapse in appropriations” – in Congress in late September. While Republicans sought to extend a funding bill that maintained existing spending levels and slightly increased security spending, Democrats refused to vote in agreement unless the bill’s extension included Affordable Care Act funds. Although both chambers of Congress are under Republican majority, the Senate – the federal legislative ‘workshop’ where bills and legislation are often debated or refined, and typically must reach bipartisan agreement –…

[ad_1] In the quiet tug-of-war between European institutions, the European Commission has made a decisive move: it chose diplomacy over legal bias. By signing an amendment to the agricultural agreement with Morocco on October 3-explicitly including products from the Sahara- the EU sent a clear message: the strategic partnership with Rabat is not up for negotiation. This decision comes just days before the deadline set by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), whose rulings in October 2024 challenged the legality of including the Sahara in EU-Morocco trade deals. Behind this legal challenge lies a well-organized pro-Polisario lobby, now entrenched in…
