AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Cybersecurity & Surveillance: A new international investigation says Morocco’s intelligence services used Pegasus spyware (2017–2021), with records pointing to 200+ possible Spanish targets, including journalists, Sahrawi activists, and Spanish security figures. Aviation Safety: A laser was reportedly aimed at the cockpit during a Laayoune–Casablanca approach, prompting calls for an investigation and stronger monitoring. Near-Miss Over Western Sahara: Spanish investigators are probing a reported head-on evasive maneuver between an Iberia A321XLR and an Air Europa 787 near a bidirectional airway about 70nm off Western Sahara. Film, Politics & Boycott: Sahrawi groups and filmmakers renewed calls to boycott Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey after reports of filming in occupied Dakhla, saying it risks normalizing Morocco’s occupation and violating international law. Travel & Entry Rules (Broader Region): Mozambique published its 2026 eVisa-eligible African countries list, while Zambia confirmed its 2026 visa-on-arrival eligible nationalities. Travel Inspiration (Non-WHSA): UK-focused coverage highlights budget-friendly beach destinations, but it’s not Western Sahara-specific.
