AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Film & Culture: Sahrawi activists and filmmakers are renewing calls to boycott Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” arguing it uses Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara—especially Dakhla—as an “exotic backdrop” while Sahrawis face repression and limited freedom to tell their own stories. Human Rights: The spotlight also stays on imprisoned Sahrawi defender Naâma Asfari, whose health is deteriorating after weeks on hunger strike in Morocco’s Kenitra prison, with urgent appeals for international action. Diplomacy & Arts Backdrop: French PM Sébastien Lecornu’s Rabat visit signals a push to deepen ties after France recognized Morocco’s Western Sahara position in 2024, even as fresh reports allege Morocco used Pegasus spyware to target French officials—threatening to overshadow cultural and security cooperation. Travel & Heritage: A BBC feature offers a rare look at Mauritania’s desert cities and coastal culture, noting how few visitors reach the country despite relative safety. Sports & Identity: Commentary around the 2030 World Cup co-hosting deal keeps Western Sahara and Palestine on the agenda, linking major tournaments to regional politics.
