AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Odyssey Backlash in Western Sahara: Calls for a boycott and fresh legal scrutiny are swirling around Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey after reports it filmed in Morocco-controlled Dakhla, with Sahrawi groups warning it “whitewashes” occupation and normalizes Rabat’s claims. Sahrawi Solidarity on the Ground: A Sahrawi delegation continued cultural and political outreach in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna, while on Gran Canaria a beach demonstration used a traditional tent, photos of prisoners, and speeches demanding action on hunger strikes. Prisoners’ Rights Pressure: Frente POLISARIO urged the UN Security Council to protect political prisoner Naâma Asfari, highlighting his ongoing hunger strike in Kenitra. Diplomacy Watch: Algeria closed its four-year freeze with Spain without shifting Madrid’s Sahara stance, and broader Morocco–Algeria rivalry continues to shape European policy. Culture Meets Politics: Even Zendaya’s Odyssey press-tour earrings sparked controversy, adding to the film’s growing mix of entertainment and geopolitics.
