Morocco's Royal Armed Forces consider Rafale F4 purchase
A source in Morocco told Yabiladi that FAR is eyeing a purchase of six Rafale F4 aircraft, along with missiles and other equipment.
This renewed interest comes amid strengthened ties between Rabat and Paris, particularly following President Emmanuel Macron's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara on July 30, 2024. During Macron's visit to Morocco in October 2024, Minister Delegate for National Defense Administration Abdellatif Loudiyi met with his French counterpart, Sébastien Lecornu. That meeting paved the way for a bilateral agreement in July 2025, following a visit to Rabat by Emmanuel Chiva, France's Director General of Armament, to establish a joint armament committee.

Morocco Present at AFRICOM Command Change in Germany
Marrakech – General Mohammed Berrid led a high-ranking Moroccan delegation to Stuttgart on August 14-15, attending the change of command ceremony at the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM). The event marked the official transfer of leadership from General Michael Langley to General Dagvin R.M. Anderson, who becomes the 7th commander of AFRICOM since its establishment. The Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) shared the news on their X platform, noting that Berrid, Inspector General of the Royal Armed Forces and Commander of the Southern Zone, represented the country following instructions from King Mohammed VI, Supreme Commander and Chief of General Staff of the FAR. General Anderson, who previously led Joint Force Development at the Pentagon and commanded the Special Operations Command Africa, succeeds General Langley after his nomination was approved by the US Senate more than ten days ago upon President Donald Trump's recommendation. The ceremony at AFRICOM headquarters brought together numerous civil and military officials from the United States, Africa, and other regions. During the event, General Berrid held several meetings with strategic partners, reaffirming the importance of military cooperation between Rabat and its allies. According to press reports based on intelligence sources, Washington is preparing a major reorganization of its military presence in Africa. The plan involves creating a command structure completely independent from the US Air Force Command in Europe (USAFE) and potentially relocating AFRICOM headquarters from Stuttgart to an allied African country. Morocco's comparative advantage Morocco is reportedly among the preferred candidates for hosting the new headquarters, thanks to its geostrategic position at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as its quality military infrastructure. The annual 'African Lion' exercises, co-organized by Rabat and Washington, already demonstrate a proven operational partnership. Spanish media reports suggest advanced studies are underway to establish the future AFRICOM headquarters at the Kenitra military base in Morocco. The Pentagon's criteria – logistical superiority, political stability, and reliable military partnerships – appear to place Morocco at the top of the list, with Spain's Rota base now seemingly out of consideration in favor of a stronger African presence. Originally, former US President George W. Bush wanted AFRICOM's headquarters to be located in Africa when he created the command in 2007. With that objective never realized, the Trump administration now seems determined to relocate AFRICOM's headquarters to the African continent, with a final decision expected in the coming months.

Meknes newborn finally registered under the name Massinissa after initial refusal
In Meknes, a family's choice to name their newborn son Massinissa, after the historic Amazigh king, sparked administrative hurdles this week. A civil registry officer at the 8th district office in the Marjane 2 neighborhood refused to register the name, despite clear legal and judicial rulings granting parents the freedom to choose names, and official instructions requiring officers to register them or refer disputes to the High Commission within 24 hours, the family's lawyer, Sabri Lhou, denounced in a post on Facebook. Lhou said the officer «placed obstacles in the way, creating unnecessary difficulties to block my client's legal right to register his son under the name Massinissa, and demanded another name be chosen». The dispute ended after the intervention of the Governor of Meknes Province. In a follow-up post on August 12, the lawyer said the governor upheld the law and «restored the prestige, status, and authority of the name Massinissa». The father was contacted by the Marjane 2 office and informed that the earlier refusal had been overturned. The incident brings the issue of civil registry officers refusing Amazigh names back into the spotlight. In the past, many parents have seen their Amazigh name choices rejected, but the Moroccan government had made its position clear on the matter. In 2023, Morocco's High Commission of the Civil Registry reaffirmed that Moroccans are free to choose Arabic, Amazigh, Hassani, or Hebrew names, provided they respect morality and public order. Since then, and under decree No. 2.22.04 implementing Law 36.21, civil registry officers must accept all declared names, even if they raise concerns, and refer them to a higher committee for a decision. This committee must provide a justification, with results communicated digitally to both the officer and the applicant.

South Africa's Last Push to to Keep Polisario Relevant
Rabat – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is mounting a last-ditch effort to prop up the Polisario Front as its support across Africa fades. Leaning on loyal ANC allies, he has arranged carefully staged meetings with Polisario figures at recent summits, a move that highlights the group's shrinking network and growing dependence on South Africa's backing in the face of Morocco's rising influence over Western Sahara. At the First African Investment Summit on Water held in South Africa on August 13-14, Polisario's delegation, led by their 'Foreign Minister' Mohamed Yeslem Beissat, met with South African Minister of Water and Sanitation, Pemmy Majodina, herself an ANC member. Meanwhile, in Accra, a meeting took place between Abdelkader Taleb Omar, a Polisario representative, and Jeffrey Radebe, Ramaphosa's special envoy, during a summit of African political parties. Radebe, a former ANC minister, hosted the encounter. The ANC under Ramaphosa has visibly ramped up its support for the Polisario following former President Jacob Zuma's public endorsement of Morocco's position on Western Sahara. Zuma, leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, visited Morocco last month and met with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita . South Africa's government strongly protested the visit, notably because the South African flag was displayed during Zuma's meeting, which the government felt implied official endorsement. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) lodged a formal objection. Zuma's MK Party, which split from the ANC, published a document endorsing Morocco's autonomy plan and rejecting Polisario's claims. The text affirms that Western Sahara historically belongs to Morocco and commends the 1975 Green March as a liberation moment. This stance marks a sharp departure from the ANC's policy.

The spokesperson said that the party would continue to push for African unity under Zuma's leadership, adding that supporting Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara is part of this vision. South Africa has long supported the self-styled Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). Meanwhile, over the past years, Morocco has made significant headway in winning international support for its 2007 autonomy proposal for Western Sahara. The US recognized Moroccan sovereignty in 2020. Two years later, Spain endorsed Morocco's autonomy plan, calling it the most realistic and credible solution. In July 2024, France made a strong shift by formally backing Morocco's claim as the sole basis for a just, lasting settlement, followed by investments and diplomatic agreements. The UK joined this growing list in June 2025, describing the plan as 'the most credible, viable and pragmatic' solution, placing it alongside the US and France as UN Security Council members supporting Rabat. Other African nations, including Kenya and Ghana, have also recently thrown their support behind the autonomy proposal. This cascade of recognition, from Western powers to African nations, reflects a broader breakdown of the Polisario's diplomatic isolation. Tags: MoroccoPolisarioSouth AfricaWestern sahara
