Spain : A Sumar draft bill to break agreements with Morocco and Israel
The Sumar group in the Spanish Parliament has introduced a draft law aimed at prohibiting all forms of agreements and cooperation between Spanish administrations and countries occupying territories illegally. The focus is particularly on Morocco—referred to as the «occupier of Western Sahara»—and Israel in relation to the occupied Palestinian territories, according to Spanish media sources. The proposal calls for banning Spanish companies from engaging in commercial, financial, or investment activities that directly or indirectly support illegal settlements in these territories. It describes such activities as a form of «plunder» against the Sahrawi and Palestinian peoples. The initiative also seeks to sever all forms of cooperation—economic, military, cultural, and more—with these countries. It requires Spanish public entities to annul any existing agreements and prohibits the establishment of diplomatic representation or the signing of international treaties related to the occupied territories. Techi Sidi, a parliamentarian of Sahrawi descent and a member of the leftist party, explained that the draft law is grounded in United Nations resolutions and rulings by the European Court of Justice, particularly on the Western Sahara issue. The proposal also addresses the Palestinian cause, urging the Spanish Socialist Party to support the measure as a means of applying economic pressure on both Morocco and Israel.

Sahara : As break with Polisario looms, Kenya endorses Morocco's autonomy plan
This Monday in Rabat, Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi met with his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita. Following their discussions, a joint communiqué was issued, the content of which is likely to cause consternation in Algeria and among the Polisario Front. «The Republic of Kenya welcomes the growing international consensus and the momentum driven by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in favor of the autonomy plan proposed by the Kingdom of Morocco, considered as the only credible and realistic solution to resolve the dispute over the Sahara». The communiqué further states that «the Republic of Kenya regards the autonomy plan as the only sustainable approach to resolving the Sahara issue and intends to collaborate with states sharing this vision to promote its implementation». For its part, «the Kingdom of Morocco welcomes Kenya's support for the United Nations framework, recognized as the only mechanism to achieve a lasting political solution to the Sahara dispute». This position deals a clear blow to Algeria and the Polisario, who continue to advocate for an «African settlement plan». Nairobi Distances Itself from the Polisario The two ministers reaffirmed «the exclusive role of the United Nations in the political process» and expressed support for Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2756 (2024), which Algeria opposed. To recall, Algeria boycotted the vote on this resolution on October 31, 2024. «Morocco appreciates Kenya's recognition of its ongoing cooperation with the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy to advance the political process based on the relevant Security Council resolutions». Strengthening Bilateral Ties On the bilateral front, the ministers emphasized «the importance of a high-level joint political dialogue to harmonize their positions within regional, continental, and multilateral bodies». The two countries committed to advancing their partnership by «immediately accelerating economic, commercial, and social exchanges in areas such as fisheries, agriculture, food security (including the import of fertilizers), health, tourism, renewable energy, security cooperation, and cultural, religious, and people-to-people exchanges». This is in line with the joint communiqué signed in Nairobi on September 14, 2022, during the meeting between Nasser Bourita and Kenyan President William Ruto. That meeting had notably seen Kenya announce the withdrawal of its recognition of the «SADR»—a decision that was short-lived. In the same spirit of cooperation, Morocco and Kenya announced the opening of a direct air link between Casablanca and Nairobi. «The Kingdom of Morocco has committed to signing a bilateral trade agreement within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to enhance trading opportunities», the communiqué notes. On Monday, Minister Musalia Mudavadi also instructed Kenya's ambassador in Rabat to 'work towards reducing the current trade imbalance by increasing Kenyan tea and coffee exports to Morocco.' He highlighted that Kenyan imports—mainly fertilizers and other essential goods—amount to 12 billion Kenyan shillings (approximately $93 million), while exports to Morocco remain significantly lower, at just 500 million Kenyan shillings (around $3.8 million).
