Last update: 9 hours agoWorld Cup vs. border friction: The 2026 men’s World Cup kicks off 11 June across Canada, Mexico and the US, with 48 teams and the biggest match schedule in the host country—yet foreign visitors may think twice as ICE activity and tighter entry rules are expected to cut travel numbers to about 1.2 million. Morocco’s strategic push: A Stimson report casts Morocco as a fast-rising “middle power” linking Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean, citing industrial growth, critical minerals, renewables—and continued focus on the Western Sahara question. Franco-Algerian judicial thaw: France’s Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin is set to visit Algiers to restart sensitive judicial cooperation, including the case of French journalist Christophe Gleizes, as Western Sahara and other disputes keep relations tense. Education and safety on the ground: Morocco has started a nationwide audit of boarding facilities to improve accommodation and catering, while a landmine blast near Assa-Zag killed a family member and injured a child—another reminder of lingering risks in remote routes.
