Morocco expands military attaché network in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Argentina, and Pakistan
As a reminder, during the Ministerial Council chaired by King Mohammed VI on May 12, a decree was adopted concerning the status of military attachés, their deputies, and other military personnel.
The inclusion of three African nations highlights the strong political and economic ties Morocco shares with these countries. The military expertise of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) is especially valued across the continent. Institutionalized cooperation with the Ethiopian and Nigerian armed forces, through exchange visits and training programs hosted in Morocco, serves as a model for similar partnerships with other African states.
In the case of Pakistan, Rabat and Islamabad are reportedly preparing to sign a military cooperation agreement that could include the local production of Pakistani weapons in Morocco. As for Argentina, considered, like Brazil, a regional military power, the presence of a FAR attaché in Buenos Aires aligns with Morocco's strategy to diversify its international defense partnerships and suppliers.
Morocco had previously appointed military attachés to its embassies in India and Turkey during the Ministerial Council held on July 14, 2022.

Sahara : Italy sidesteps Algeria's push for «self-determination of the Sahrawi people»
On Wednesday, July 23, Rome hosted the 5th intergovernmental summit between Italy and Algeria. At the end of the high-level meeting, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Abdelmadjid Tebboune each delivered statements summarizing the key issues discussed. As is customary during such international engagements, the Algerian president expressed satisfaction with what he called the «perfect convergence» of views between Rome and Algiers on several political matters. On the Western Sahara issue, Tebboune stated that Italy «supports the efforts of the United Nations Secretary-General's Personal Envoy to achieve a just political solution, in accordance with international legality, allowing the Sahrawi people to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination». Joint Statement Contradicts Tebboune's Remarks However, the official joint communiqué released Wednesday by the Italian government presents a notably different stance. In paragraph 29, the document states that both countries «reiterated their support for the efforts of the United Nations Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, to revive direct negotiations and achieve a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution, in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and relevant Security Council resolutions». Notably absent from this joint communiqué is any mention of the «self-determination of the Sahrawi people», which Tebboune emphasized in his remarks. Moreover, in her statement to the press, Prime Minister Meloni did not address the Western Sahara issue. Instead, she highlighted discussions with President Tebboune on crises in the Sahel and Libya. Italy's position on the Western Sahara has been consistent in recent years. In July 2023, following a meeting between Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani, Rome reaffirmed its support for «the serious and credible efforts made by Morocco» to resolve the dispute. It also reiterated its backing of «the efforts of the UN Secretary-General to continue the political process aimed at reaching a just, realistic, pragmatic, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution to the Sahara issue, based on compromise and in accordance with resolution 2654», adopted by the Security Council in October 2022, a resolution Algeria notably rejected. Italy also called on «all parties to remain engaged in a spirit of realism and compromise, within a framework consistent with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter».

Morocco and Algeria rivalry expands into energy and trade spheres, says U.S. think tanks
The long-standing rivalry between Morocco and Algeria has moved beyond traditional political and military spheres, extending into tarde economic and diplomatic domains, according to a new analysis by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The two neighbors are increasingly using «trade and the energy sector to project power, forge new alliances, and engage in strong-arm tactics against European countries», explains Hamza Meddeb, a fellow at the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center. Strategic Statecraft Through Energy and Trade According to the U.S.-based think tank, Algeria has «reshaped its position in regional and international geopolitics by aligning its food imports and energy exports with its strategic interests». This shift became apparent in 2021 when Algeria halted gas exports to Spain via Morocco amid rising tensions over the Western Sahara. Algiers has also used trade policy as a diplomatic tool, most notably when it reduced wheat imports from France following Paris's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara. Morocco, by contrast, has leaned into renewable energy as a cornerstone of its geopolitical strategy. «Rabat has capitalized on Europe's energy transition and shifting alliances to present itself as a stable partner, a renewable energy leader, and a potential transit hub for West African gas», the paper states. Central to this strategy is the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline, which competes with «Algeria's Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, an agreement for whose launch was signed in 2002 and which was intended to carry gas from Nigeria to Europe via Algeria and Niger». Migration policy has also become a key pillar of Morocco's statecraft. Rabat has used migration control and infrastructure investments to gain diplomatic leverage. Spain backed Morocco's autonomy plan in 2022, followed by France in 2024, moves tied to Morocco's cooperation on border security and access to its growing markets. «The reason for this about-face was Madrid's desire to secure Rabat's cooperation in curbing the flow of irregular migrants to the Spanish North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, as well as the Canary Islands, in 2020 and 2021», the think tank notes. Escalating Rivalry in the Sahel As their rivalry spreads southward, both countries are seeking greater influence in the fragile Sahel region. Algeria, feeling increasingly isolated, has sought to establish a Maghreb bloc that excludes Morocco. In April 2024, it hosted a high-level summit in Tunis with Libya and Tunisia, framed as a response to regional instability but seen as an attempt to assert regional leadership and marginalize Rabat. Morocco, meanwhile, launched the Atlantic Initiative in 2023, aimed at providing landlocked Sahel countries such as Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso with direct access to Atlantic trade routes via Moroccan ports. However, the think tank cautions that «Morocco needs to show that its plan is not only economically feasible, but also has significant long-term political value, as opposed to being driven by its rivalry with Algeria». The report concludes that both Morocco and Algeria are «pursuing distinct, calculated strategies to position themselves as dominant powers». But in doing so, they risk exporting their rivalry to already volatile regions like the Sahel, escalating tensions and threatening broader regional stability.
