Last update: 3 hours agoSahara diplomacy gets fresh U.S. momentum: A U.S.-backed push to advance UN Security Council Resolution 2797 is gaining traction, with Washington urging progress on the Sahara dossier and pointing to “relatively positive and productive” multilateral meetings involving Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and the Polisario Front. Local U.S. vote echoes abroad: In Arkansas, Pine Bluff City Council unanimously backed the resolution and reaffirmed its sister-city ties with Dakhla—another signal that U.S. engagement is widening beyond capitals. Mauritania stays in the spotlight: The U.S. consultations explicitly include Mauritania, while France’s UN veto-limiting initiative also lists Mauritania among new supporters. Connectivity and security keep moving: Orange and partners are advancing the Via Africa subsea cable plan linking Europe to South Africa with landings along Mauritania and West Africa, while ECOWAS prepares a regional counterterror force and Senegal hosts Obangame Express maritime drills. Education pressure remains high: New data warns more than 100 million African children are still out of school, with progress stalling in recent years.
