Last update: 9 hours agoTourism Push in Disputed Desert: Morocco says Western Sahara travel is booming, with arrivals to Morocco-administered areas up more than 50% since 2019 (to 743,133 in 2025), helped by new direct flights to Dakhla and rising hotel investment—while critics warn that marketing the territory as Moroccan can legitimize occupation under international law. Dakhla on the Map: A travel feature spotlights how airlines and “hidden gem” campaigns are turning Dakhla into an adventure hub for surfers and kite lovers, even as the UN lists Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory. Security Tensions: A separate report claims a rocket landed near a civilian prison in Es-Smara on May 5, with the Polisario taking responsibility and major international actors issuing rapid condemnations—raising fears of escalation in a long-running standoff. Polisario Narrative Under Pressure: Another piece says geographical and historical realities are “closing in” on the Polisario, alongside a discussion of the group’s origins and ideological shifts.
