AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Film & Tourism Fallout: Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster “The Odyssey” has put Western Sahara’s Dakhla dunes back in the spotlight, with Morocco promoting the White Sand Dune location as a tourism draw while Sahrawi groups warn the filming risks normalizing Morocco’s occupation of a UN-listed non-self-governing territory. Humanitarian Travel & Solidarity: Sahrawi children in the “Holidays in Peace” programme received official receptions across Spain’s Canary Islands, Catalonia’s Parliament, and France’s Ivry-sur-Seine as they continue summer stays with host families. Aviation Safety Near Laayoune/Dakhla: A laser was reportedly aimed at a Laayoune–Casablanca flight cockpit, and Spanish investigators are also probing a near-miss between Iberia and Air Europa aircraft off Western Sahara after collision-avoidance maneuvers. Regional Mobility & Visas: Panama published a visa-free list for nine African countries that includes the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, while Saint Kitts and Nevis released a 2026 visa-required list that also covers Sahrawi-related travel eligibility. Maritime Mystery: A ghost fishing boat washed ashore in the Caribbean is drawing renewed attention as clues point toward West Africa, with some links suggested to Mauritania or Western Sahara.
