AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Defense & Security Diplomacy: A US Senate NDAA bill (Section 1268) would require a 10-year plan to deepen US defense cooperation with Morocco, including joint exercises, counter-terror work, runway refurbishments, and drone-related facilities—locking in the Abraham Accords-style security partnership that’s already reshaping the region. Arms Race Context: Separate coverage highlights Morocco’s push to modernize and build domestic defense capacity via joint ventures (including Israeli firm BlueBird Aero Systems) while Algeria counters with a record $25bn military spend, underscoring how Western Sahara remains tied to broader regional power. Trade & Resource Rights: SONREP warns the EU-Morocco trade arrangements could unlawfully include agricultural products from occupied Western Sahara, arguing this would breach EU court rulings and ignore Sahrawi consent requirements. Human Rights Under Pressure: NOVACT and researchers at the UN Human Rights Council say nearly 170 violations were documented in 2025, alongside claims of an information blockade, drone strikes, and restrictions on international access. Local Business & Industry Signals: Forbes ranks five Moroccan family business groups among MENA’s top 100, pointing to continued strength across finance, agriculture, manufacturing, and retail—relevant for investment and supply-chain planning in the southern provinces.
