AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoFranco-Moroccan Tech & Security Reset: French PM Sébastien Lecornu’s Rabat visit is accelerating a post-2024 diplomatic thaw, with 14 cooperation agreements spanning security, migration, defence, and even a draft scientific cooperation framework—all while reaffirming France’s support for Morocco’s Western Sahara autonomy. Pegasus Surveillance Fallout: A new Forbidden Stories-led investigation says Morocco used Pegasus spyware (via Israel’s NSO) to target journalists, Sahrawi activists, and French political figures, including claims that Spanish numbers were among possible targets—raising fresh questions for European partners. Energy Infrastructure for the Sahara Region: ECOWAS endorsed the Nigeria–Morocco Atlantic Gas Pipeline (about $25bn, ~6,000–6,900 km), aiming to move gas to Morocco and onward to Europe—an Africa-to-Europe corridor that could reshape regional tech and industry planning. Global Tech/Policy Context: Separate reporting highlights how the US-Iran cease-fire memorandum has collapsed, with renewed missile and drone exchanges disrupting Strait of Hormuz commerce—another reminder that regional tech and trade plans depend on security stability.
