AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoEnergy: Russian companies are expected to join the 4,000-kilometre Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline linking Nigeria, Niger and Algeria, with operations targeted for 2030. The project could deepen Moscow’s energy presence across North Africa and the Sahel. Resources and Infrastructure: A new report argues that phosphate extraction, fisheries, farming, renewable energy and the planned Dakhla Atlantic Port are reshaping Western Sahara’s economy. It says the projects support exports and Moroccan settlement while sidelining Sahrawis; those claims frame a wider dispute over who benefits from investment. Tourism and Transport: A separate report warns that hotel development and air links to Dakhla market the territory as part of Morocco and risk harming coastal ecosystems. Ryanair’s Dakhla routes are also facing legal challenges over the territory’s status. Higher Education: Morocco says its plan to expand public universities to 27 would bring institutions to Dakhla and Laayoune, potentially widening access to education and services in the south.
