Spain Denies Removing Flag from Islands Near Morocco
Rabat – Reports that Spain removed its national flag from two small islets near the Moroccan coast are not accurateare not accurate, according to Spanish fact-checking platform Newtral. The platform contacted the Ministry of Defense, which said the reports were 'incorrect,' adding that 'there have been no flags with raised cloth or metal poles on these islands for more than twenty years.' Several news websites, including Spanish outlets, reported that Spain had quietly taken down its flag from El Bar and El Bahar, two uninhabited islands just off the Mediterranean coast near Al Hoceima, Morocco. Some called it an 'unexpected move' and suggested it was a sign of Spain stepping back from the disputed territories. The ministry clarified that instead of traditional flags, Spain uses metal structures painted in red and yellow, the colors of the Spanish flag. These are fixed on raised concrete platforms and serve as markers of Spanish presence. The ministry explained that weather and exposure to the sea may sometimes fade the paint, making the colors hard to see, but there has been no change in policy or removal of symbols. The original claims speculated about a possible political shift, recalling past tensions such as the 2002 standoff over nearby Perejil Island. But Spain's official response shuts down these rumors. The Ministry of Defense confirmed there has been no official action or change to the status of the islands. Despite improved relations between Morocco and Spain in recent years, disputed territories along the Mediterranean coast remain a sensitive issue. These territories include several small islets and enclaves such as Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Peñón de Alhucemas, and the Chafarinas Islands, located just meters from Morocco's northern coastline. Though these rocky outcrops are uninhabited and of limited economic value, they are highly symbolic. Spain has retained control over them since the 19th century and considers them integral parts of its national territory. However, many Moroccans view these remnants of colonial rule as anachronistic and assert that they should be returned to Moroccan sovereignty. Tags: flagislandsMoroccoSpain

After Suspending Ties with ‘SADR,' Panama Supports Moroccan Sovereignty Over Sahara
Marrakech – Panama has unequivocally declared Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces in the Western Sahara, marking a principled U-turn in the Latin American country's position on the artificially prolonged dispute. This breakthrough follows Panama's decision to sever diplomatic relations with the self-proclaimed 'Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic' (SADR), a paper entity manipulated by the Polisario Front and propped up by Algeria's military regime. Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Eduardo Martinez-Acha Vasquez delivered a powerful televised statement commemorating the 26th anniversary of King Mohammed VI's accession to the throne. 'The Republic of Panama has reiterated its support for the autonomy proposal for the provinces of the Moroccan Sahara,' he asserted. The Moroccan plan is 'considered by the international community as the only credible, realistic and applicable option to resolve this dispute.' Evolution of Panama's position The shift in Panama's stance has followed a clear progression over recent months. On November 21, 2024, Panama's Foreign Ministry slammed the door on diplomatic relations with the self-styled 'SADR,' stressing the decision aligned with the country's commitment to constructive foreign policy and support for UN-led resolution efforts. Following this announcement, King Mohammed VI sent a message to Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino Quintero, expressing gratitude for the 'wise decision' regarding 'Morocco's primary national cause.' The monarch declared that 'this highly significant decision strengthens Morocco's legitimate rights' and 'aligns with international legality.' On November 27, 2024, during a video conference with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, Martinez-Acha Vasquez 'reiterated the sovereign decision of the Government of Panama to suspend diplomatic relations' with the self-proclaimed 'SADR.' In a high-level meeting, the two foreign ministers vowed to revitalize bilateral cooperation, citing a joint commitment to South-South partnership. The discussions led to an agreement to strengthen legal ties and resume political consultations between their foreign ministries. Panama's diplomatic realignment accelerated with the appointment of Isbeth L. Queil Murcia as Ambassador to Morocco in January, cementing bilateral ties. The seasoned diplomat, who previously served as Director General of Foreign Policy and Deputy Representative to the United Nations for Panama, presented her credentials to Bourita in Rabat. The evolution culminated on June 16, when the Joint Declaration from Martinez-Acha Vasquez's working visit to Rabat proclaimed: 'the Republic of Panama reaffirms its support for the Moroccan autonomy plan… considering it as the most serious, credible and realistic basis for progress towards a lasting agreement on the territorial dispute over the Sahara.' Beyond the Sahara dispute, both countries pledged to promote the exchange of expertise across multiple sectors, particularly green development, energy transition, agriculture, food security, fisheries, and tourism. During this visit, the Panamanian foreign minister also delivered a written message to King Mohammed VI from President Mulino, reflecting 'the will of the Heads of State of both countries to strengthen the positive momentum in Morocco-Panama relations and to elevate them to broader horizons of cooperation.' Strategic importance Panama's position wields exceptional influence as the country currently serves as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (2025-2026). According to Morocco's state news agency, 'Panama's voice will actively contribute to finding a definitive solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, within the framework set by the latest UN Security Council resolution.' This decision obliterates what little remained of the Polisario Front's credibility, delivering a knockout blow that shatters its fabricated narrative and leaves it exposed, discredited, and gasping for relevance on the international stage. It marks the political suffocation of the separatist militia – cornered, diplomatically isolated, morally bankrupt, and strategically defeated. Stripped of legitimacy and abandoned by the international community, the Polisario Front now finds itself in freefall, its delusions of statehood crushed, and its descent into total geopolitical irrelevance accelerating. One by one, its pillars of support are collapsing, as the move dismantles its narrative brick by brick, erasing what little standing it had left on the global stage. Panama was historically the first Latin American country to recognize the self-proclaimed SADR in 1980 and hosted its first claimed embassy in the region. Panama now aligns with over 100 countries backing Morocco's Autonomy Plan as the sole viable political solution to end this artificially prolonged dispute, including 20 European Union member states. Tellingly, 70% of UN Security Council member states now demand resolution of this dispute within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty and based on the Autonomy Plan presented by Rabat in 2007. This seismic shift in Panama's position mirrors the surging international momentum behind Morocco's territorial integrity and the collapsing relevance of the cold war-era separatist agenda championed by Algeria's military regime, which continues to funnel logistical, financial, and military support to the Polisario Front despite mounting domestic crises.

NGO ATEC Warns of Growing Online Bullying Against Women, Girls in Morocco
Rabat – The Tahadi Association for Equality and Citizenship (ATEC) warned against the growing online bullying against women and girls in Morocco. In a statement on Monday, the association expressed its 'deep concern' about the situation, describing bullying as a form of digital crime that is increasingly being perpetrated through online spaces and platforms. 'Over the past few months, this phenomenon has become one of the most widespread and socially tolerated practices among users of social media and digital networks,' the NGO wrote, saying that similar acts remain decriminalized. The NGO warned of the dangerous consequences associated with such acts, stressing that bullying could lead to suicide attempts as a desperate response to injustice. It also warned of the absence of legal regulation around bullying, citing practices that affect women and girls, such as the sharing of photos or videos of individuals alongside offensive remarks. These practices often fall short of the legal threshold for defamation or insult, it said, recalling its appeal for the adoption of a draft law targeting digital violence against women and girls online. The need to criminalize bullying The association deemed initiatives seeking to amend Law 103.13 as insufficient, particularly in light of behaviors that threaten the fundamental right to life. Law 103.13, which was enacted in 2018, is part of Morocco's efforts to combat gender-based violence. It seeks to address critical issues affecting women's safety and well-being. However, the law faced criticism from rights groups, particularly women, for falling short of tackling gender-based violence effectively. The NGO urged executive authorities to update the legal framework by pushing for a clear legislative framework that criminalizes bullying alongside other forms of digital crime. Morocco has been pledging to strengthen legislation to combat in-person and digital crimes like bullying. Last year, Morocco's Ministry of Education announced a training program seeking to help teachers with the know-how to address cyberbullying and bullying in Moroccan schools. In March this year, Morocco's High Commission for Planning (HCP) said that cyberviolence affected at least 282,000 victims, with a prevalence rate of 29.4%. The data compiles statistics from key findings from a 2019 survey on violence against young girls in Morocco. Tags: bullyingCyberbullying
