AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSpanish Citizenship Push: Spain’s Congress backed a bill granting Spanish nationality to Sahrawis born in Western Sahara before Sept. 29, 1977 and to their children, with 168 votes for, 31 against and 145 abstentions; it now heads to the Senate, while Sahrawi voices call it an “incomplete” but historic step tied to Spain’s colonial debt and the right to self-determination. Occupied Territories Resistance: Gdeim Izik prisoners urged Sahrawis to boycott what they called the “farce” of Moroccan occupation elections, rejecting normalization and reaffirming the Polisario as the legitimate representative. UN Deadlines Loom: A new debate is intensifying around the UN Security Council’s end-October decision on MINURSO, with critics warning that not renewing the mission could effectively sideline the referendum goal. Morocco–Spain Friction: Morocco warned Spain against turning the Sahara issue into domestic election “fodder,” while also denying any role in the Ceuta migrant crisis that continues to strain ties. Regional Diplomatic Shock: Algeria severed ties with the UAE and ordered a 48-hour departure for the ambassador, escalating a broader North Africa rivalry that intersects with Western Sahara positions.
