Last update: 3 hours agoMorocco’s Regional Clout: A new US-based Stimson Center policy report says Morocco has moved beyond being seen as a “buffer” on migration, positioning itself as a middle power that links Europe and Africa through trade, investment, and security cooperation. It points to Morocco’s shift from low-cost manufacturing to higher-tech exports, plus momentum in renewables and battery-materials. Defense Modernization: In parallel, King Mohammed VI used the 70th anniversary of the Royal Armed Forces to push faster modernization, with stronger readiness and a bigger focus on AI, digitalization, and cyber security. Energy Exports: Morocco is also leaning into green hydrogen and “decarbonized molecules” for European demand, tying energy diplomacy to industrial supply-chain upgrades. Regional Tensions: Elsewhere, France is seeking renewed judicial cooperation with Algeria as relations ease, while Sahrawi NGOs criticize Amnesty International over its reporting on the Tindouf camps.
