AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoHeatwave Watch (Morocco-controlled Western Sahara): Morocco’s meteorology service issued orange alerts as temperatures surge across the south and Atlantic provinces, with a heatwave forecast for Es-Semara, Assa-Zag, Boujdour, Oued Eddahab, Aousserd and Tata (39–44°C) and hot weather (37–42°C) also flagged for Laayoune and Tarfaya, alongside other coastal and inland areas. Desertification & Drying Trends: A new report highlights how the Sahara has expanded by about a million square kilometres over the last century, with UN data saying more than three-quarters of land has become permanently drier since 1996—raising stakes for Sahel-linked livelihoods and ecosystems. Tourism Boom (and legal debate): Visitor numbers to Morocco-controlled Western Sahara rose from 490,297 (2019) to 743,133 (2025), driven by new European flight routes and hotel investment, but the growth is intensifying arguments over international law and corporate responsibility. Diplomatic Shift (Autonomy talks): Algeria is said to be yielding to international pressure, calling for direct negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario under UN and US auspices, as Morocco’s autonomy plan gains wider backing.
