AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Film Ethics & Western Sahara: Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster The Odyssey is back in the spotlight after reports that parts were shot near Dakhla in occupied Western Sahara, sparking fresh calls that the production “whitewashes” Morocco’s control of a UN-listed non-self-governing territory. Cultural Solidarity: Sahrawi delegations and community groups keep pushing the message through events abroad, including a Gran Canaria demonstration with cultural displays and photo exhibits on Sahrawi prisoners, and a visit to Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region featuring political and solidarity activities for Sahrawi children. Human Rights Pressure: Frente POLISARIO urged the UN Security Council to act urgently over Sahrawi political prisoner Enaâma Asfari’s hunger strike, while reports also highlight growing concern over Sahrawi prisoners in Moroccan detention. Politics in the Background: Spain and Algeria move to end a diplomatic freeze without shifting their Sahara positions, and a Spanish nationality bill for Sahrawis under Spanish administration advances through Congress. Pop Culture Backlash: Zendaya faces criticism for wearing ancient Iranian earrings during the Odyssey press tour, adding another layer of controversy to the film’s global rollout.
