AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSpanish Citizenship Push: Spain’s Congress approved a bill opening a special route to Spanish nationality for Sahrawis born in Western Sahara under Spanish administration (before Sept. 29, 1977) and eligible descendants, with residency requirements eased for those legally in Spain; the vote was 168-31 with 145 abstentions, and the measure now heads to the Senate, potentially affecting tens of thousands. UN Political Process: The U.S. and UN are coordinating to back a “lasting and mutually acceptable” Sahara settlement aligned with UNSC Resolution 2797, with Massad Boulos discussing the issue with UN official Rosemary DiCarlo ahead of an October 31 Security Council meeting. Natural Resources at the UN: Western Sahara Resource Watch urges the UN to fold natural-resources concerns into the political track, proposing a trust/escrow mechanism for revenues pending a legal settlement and calling for UN access to OHCHR. Sahrawi Political Outreach: Polisario representation in Australia highlighted Sahrawi resistance and rights at a Brisbane conference, while a Polisario delegation in Belgium took part in Manifiesta in Ostend and renewed calls for prisoners’ release. Regional Diplomacy Shock: Algeria severed ties with the UAE and closed its airspace to Emirati aircraft, a rupture analysts link to wider regional rivalries that also touch the Sahara file.
