AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoFranco-Moroccan Deal: Morocco and France are finalising a new “Friendship Treaty” to replace the 1955 La Celle-Saint-Cloud agreement, aiming for a more equal, long-term economic and strategic partnership—while keeping Western Sahara support in the background. Western Sahara Construction & Industry: Heidelberg Materials says it is supplying cement and concrete for major infrastructure in occupied Western Sahara, including El Aaiún and Dakhla Atlantique, with cement output rising to nearly 600,000 tonnes in 2025—raising fresh scrutiny of corporate links to Morocco’s consolidation. Corporate Accountability in Europe: Catalan trade unions and civil society groups have launched a campaign against AZURA Group, urging it to stop marketing Dakhla as “south of Morocco” and to ensure accurate origin labelling for exports to Europe, citing European court rulings on Western Sahara’s separate status. UN Diplomacy: Morocco’s UN ambassador Omar Hilal argues the Sahara issue is moving beyond the UN committee stage, pushing for a definitive solution under Morocco’s autonomy initiative and calling for a practical approach by Algeria and the Polisario.
