The next terrifying war: Israel v Hizbullah
A war is looming in Lebanon. For months, Israel and Hizbullah have traded drones, rockets and missiles (see charts). It would be the most intense conflict in the region in decades—a calamity for Israel and a disaster for Lebanon. American and European diplomats continue to shuttle between Israel and Lebanon, hoping, with less and less optimism, to persuade Hizbullah to withdraw 7-10km away from the border. Even then, the result would be a tenuous peace at best, with the threat of cross-border raids by Hizbullah on Israel dissuading many Israelis from returning.

UN: New York hosts seminar on autonomy & foreign direct investment promotion – The North Africa Post
An international research seminar on the theme of “territorial autonomy: the promotion of foreign direct investment”, held in New York Monday provided a platform to compare the Morocco-proposed Autonomy Initiative for the Sahara region with other autonomy experiences in the world, particularly with regard to the promotion of foreign direct investments in the autonomous regions and enhancement of economic development of local populations. It was attended by around fifty diplomats, including several ambassadors in New York, senior UN officials and media accredited to the United Nations. The Moroccan Autonomy initiative offers more power and prerogatives to local authorities and to the local population, they outlined. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, they recalled, Morocco is the 9th country that attracted the most foreign direct investment in Africa, in 2021. The ambassador also cited the support of more than 18 European countries for the Moroccan initiative, 15 of which are members of the European Union, which proves the credibility and seriousness of the Moroccan Autonomy initiative and thus enhanced the Moroccan Sahara’s standing as an economic engine and a privileged hub in West Africa and the transatlantic space.

USTR sticks to USMCA auto rules interpretation despite panel verdict
The U.S. on Monday made clear it does not intend to comply with a U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement dispute settlement panel ruling that faulted its application of the deal’s automotive rules of origin, warning that doing so would increase non-North American content in vehicles by up to 20 percent. The U.S. contends that core auto parts found to meet USMCA content requirement despite containing foreign content should not be counted as originating entirely in North America under the deal’s overall regional value...

TotalEnergies to exit gas discoveries offshore South Africa to focus on Namibian exploration
TotalEnergies to exit gas discoveries offshore South Africa to focus on Namibian exploration(Bloomberg) – TotalEnergies SE plans to exit its discoveries of gas-condensate offshore South Africa to prioritize exploration in other areas closer to Namibia, according to people familiar with the matter. The company will concentrate instead on exploring the Orange basin, located further north on the Atlantic coast of South Africa near promising offshore oil discoveries in Namibian waters, the people said. An exit from the discoveries would be a blow to South Africa, which lacks domestic sources of oil and gas. CNR International (South Africa) Ltd. has given notice that it will withdraw from its 20% interest in the discoveries, according to the statement. South Africa has struggled to bring oil and gas developments onstream in a timely manner amid legislative uncertainty.

Expect The Sahara Desert
Because of the same weather phenomenon, worsened allergy symptoms and more colorful sunsets are possible over the next few days. It’s the time of year when westward Atlantic trade winds are strong enough to carry dust from the Sahara Desert in North Africa to the U.S. A plume of Saharan dust reached Texas over the Gulf of Mexico on Monday. According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, it should disperse northward and westward for another day or two. Locations nearest the Gulf Coast will be most affected, but some dust could reach Northeast Texas.

M23 rebels take control of key town in eastern DRC – The North Africa Post
The Tutsi-led rebels, known as M23, took control of Kanyabayonga, a strategic town in the east of the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo, where different armed groups operate. Kanyabayonga has been at the heart of clashes between DRC forces and the M23, since the latter took up arms in 2021. The M23 fighters were advancing towards the town of Kirumba, in North Kivu province, a key commercial center with more than 120,000 residents. The country’s mineral wealth, estimated at $25 trillion, has yet to be tapped into due to corruption and instability in the country’s east, where different rebellions are ongoing, notably that led by the M23 movement. The DRC, the UN and Western countries accuse Rwanda of supporting rebel groups, including M23, in a bid to control the region’s vast mineral resources, an allegation Kigali denies.
