AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Tourism & Culture: Tourist arrivals to Morocco-controlled Western Sahara jumped over 50% since 2019, helped by new European routes—Ryanair’s Madrid/Lanzarote links to Dakhla and expanded Transavia, plus hotel and resort investment—turning the disputed desert into a fast-rising “hidden gem,” while also sparking fresh debate over international law and corporate responsibility. Sahara Diplomacy: Morocco told the UN decolonization panel (C24) to drop the Sahara file as “anachronistic,” arguing Security Council Resolution 2797 has shifted the process toward its autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty. Narratives & Politics: A new analysis of King Mohammed VI’s “discursive reframings” argues royal messaging has moved the Sahara dispute from defensive rhetoric to a proactive narrative strategy aimed at legitimacy and a pragmatic settlement. Press Freedom: A global map from RSF’s 2026 World Press Freedom Index reports press freedom at a 25-year low, with most countries now in “difficult” or “very serious” categories—an arts-and-media concern for the region’s creative voices. Desertification Lens: A feature on desertification warns the Sahara is expanding southward, reframing the issue as a human-driven ecological and cultural threat rather than a distant natural process.
