Morocco's capital Rabat is at the center of growing geopolitical tension as the country announces MINURSO’s mandate has expired, per EurAsia Review.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov made a brief stopover in Casablanca following a veto on a Sahara resolution at the UN, according to Morocco World News.

Meanwhile, Moroccan authorities jailed a cartoonist for caricatures of the king, highlighting ongoing concerns over free speech, as reported by New Age BD.
