AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoCeuta Border Flashpoint: Morocco blocked a second mass attempt to storm Spain’s enclave of Ceuta after social-media calls for another surge, deploying riot police, armoured vehicles and even a surveillance helicopter; dozens were arrested and taken away by bus as crowds were pushed back about three kilometres from the border. Ceuta Aftermath: The July 30 crossing—around 72,000 people entering Ceuta, with at least 88 deaths—still leaves thousands in the enclave, including unattended minors, while Spain and Morocco trade blame over sovereignty and border control. Western Sahara Commemoration: Morocco marked the 47th anniversary of Oued Ed-Dahab’s “recovery” (Aug 14, 1979), recalling the return of the southern region to Moroccan rule and highlighting tourism growth in Dakhla. Sahrawi Solidarity: In France’s Gironde, CMCAS Gironde held a solidarity evening for Sahrawi children hosted since 2003 ahead of their return to refugee camps in Algeria. Travel Trend (Not Sahara-Specific): A “skillcation” trend is pushing travellers to come home with new abilities—like beekeeping—rather than just souvenirs.
