AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Film & Occupation Debate: FiSahara and French solidarity groups are ramping up criticism of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” saying scenes shot in occupied Dakhla help normalize Morocco’s control and erase Sahrawi memory, with calls for a boycott even as the movie premieres and draws praise. Premiere Buzz: London’s Odeon Luxe Leicester Square hosted the first wave of reactions for “The Odyssey,” starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya and others, with reports noting parts filmed across Morocco and Western Sahara. Arts, Education & Exchange: Ibn Zohr University signed new partnership deals in Laayoune with Canary Islands universities, expanding cooperation in health sciences, medical humanities, and researcher mobility. Sports, Identity & Politics: A new look at Lionel Messi’s World Cup-era headlines revisits his public links to Jewish and Israeli life, fueling fresh debate ahead of Argentina’s quarterfinal. Diplomacy & Culture: The Polisario Front welcomed a new National Secretariat member after an oath ceremony, while Sahrawi foreign affairs talks in Lesotho reiterated support for self-determination. Policy & Self-Determination: Swedish opposition parties pledge to restore an international-law-based approach to Western Sahara after elections, rejecting Morocco’s autonomy framing.
