AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Film & Tourism Backlash: Calls to boycott Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” keep growing after scenes were filmed in occupied Dakhla, with French groups saying the production helps normalize Morocco’s presence and turn the territory into a luxury tourism backdrop. Cultural Boycott Pressure: FiSahara and the FiSahara-linked Western Sahara International Film Festival argue the filming disregards international law and Sahrawi rights, urging the project to be treated like political complicity. Renewables & Infrastructure Push: Morocco’s energy megaprojects remain a major industrial story, from the Tarfaya Wind Farm to large-scale solar in Ouarzazate—projects that signal heavy investment and long-term power ambitions along the Atlantic. Regional Investment Spotlight (Laayoune): Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra promoted opportunities in renewable energy, fisheries, blue economy, manufacturing, logistics and tourism at a Morocco-France business day in Paris, pitching faster approvals and easier procedures for investors. Agrifood Trade Leverage: The U.S. temporarily suspended anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Moroccan phosphate fertilizer, aiming to protect American farm inputs—while also underlining broader Morocco-linked strategic ties. Diplomacy & External Endorsement: Chile backed Morocco’s Autonomy Plan for Western Sahara, adding to the international political momentum around Rabat’s position. Sahara Politics in Africa: Jacob Zuma publicly backed Morocco’s Western Sahara stance in Ghana, criticizing the ANC’s foreign policy and aligning with growing support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan.
