#ChristopherNolan filmed #TheOdyssey -today in cinemas- in Dakhla, a city in #WesternSahara illegally occupied by #Morocco. Why shouldn't you watch it? A Sahrawi filmmaker explains in @democracynow. democracynow.org/2026/7/17/t… #BoycottTheOdyssey

Sumar, the left-wing party allied with ##Spain's Socialists in the governing coalition, is demanding that Spain's Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, revoke the medal awarded to Abdellatif Hammouchi, head of Morocco's DGST. Hammouchi is widely regarded as the architect of #Morocco's use of the #Pegasus spyware for surveillance. @elconfidencial @interiorgob @guardiacivil @EMADmde @Defensagob @policia @sumar @PODEMOS @teshsidi @IzquierdaUnida @MasMadrid__ @Congreso_Es @ppopular @PSOE elconfidencial.com/espana/20…

In exchange for Morocco normalizing ties with Israel, Donald Trump recognized its claim on Western Sahara. Now Hollywood has moved into Western Sahara, too, rubber-stamping Morocco’s colonial rule over the territory. jacobin.com/2026/07/nolan-od…

Le Maroc réussit à ce que les universités publiques des #Canaries prennent pied au #SaharaOccidental. Le recteur de l'Université de La Laguna, Francisco García, s'est rendu à Laâyoune et à Dakhla à la tête d'une délégation académique afin d'«identifier des domaines de coopération». Le #Maroc parraine déjà deux chaires universitaires à #Cordoue et à #Tarragone, mais jusqu'à présent, les universités espagnoles ne se rendaient pas au Sahara, où les établissements d'enseignement supérieur sont peu nombreux. Il s'agit en outre d'un territoire non autonome en attente de décolonisation, selon les Nations unies. @ULL @frangarciar @PresiCan @Univcordoba @universitatURV @EducacionGobC es.le360.ma/sociedad/la-univ…

#Spain controls most of the airspace over the #WesternSahara. When #Morocco’s drones kill civilians or three #Polisario soldiers in the Sahara, as happened on Sunday, they do so in airspace controlled from Gran Canaria Airport. Doesn’t the Spanish government have anything to say about it? @MAECgob @jmalbares @sanchezcastejon @desdelamoncloa newtral.es/espacio-aereo-sah…

How credible can #Morocco's offer of autonomy to #WesternSahara be when it prevents Sahrawi activists, such as @AminatouHaidar, from boarding a plane in Dakhla to travel to #Spain? Rabat talks a lot about autonomy, but does not seem willing to grant the Sahrawi people more freedom. xitter.cf/AminatouHaidar/status/…

"Denying the Sahrawi people their right to freely choose their future risks locking Western Sahara into a stalemate, where political frustration feeds on a feeling of abandonment," writes Abdelkader Cheref in @DAWN_Journal. dawnmena.org/peace-in-the-ma…

The #Polisario Front will challenge the new #EU-#Morocco agreement before the European court. Promoted by #Spain and #France, it was negotiated in secret by the @EU_Commission this summer and entered into force without being ratified by the @Europarl_EN. Since 2015, the @Polisario_ has won all its cases before the Court of Justice of the EU, but the Commission has managed to largely ignore the rulings. elconfidencial.com/mundo/202…

The target is Aziz Akhannouch: young Moroccans from #GenZ212 are demanding the resignation of the prime minister and his entire government. Akhannouch is the second richest person in #Morocco after King Mohamed VI. Protesters on the streets and on social media are calling for a boycott of his companies. elconfidencial.com/amp/mundo…

Morocco wants to win further international backing for its autonomy plan for Western Sahara during an international conference in the UAE (tentatively planned for April). Those invited should ask Rabat for more details on what this means for Sahrawi s-d. cidob.org/en/publications/ca…
