Morocco Overhauls Investment Fund Regulations with Comprehensive Legal Framework – The North Africa Post
The 1993 founding legislation served Morocco’s emerging financial market adequately during an era of limited actors and relatively simple financial instruments. However, as markets became more sophisticated, products diversified, and international standards evolved, the original framework revealed significant limitations. Law 03.25 introduces clearly organized thematic blocks covering general provisions, fund establishment, prudential rules, investor information, oversight, and sanctions. The law strengthens risk management provisions, legally defining liquidity, global risk, and counterparty risk concepts. All preliminary communications require oversight, substantial modifications need new approval, and continuous investor information becomes central obligation.

Collaborations of the Year Middle East & North Africa 2025
Collaborations of the Year Middle East & North Africa 2025From cross-cultural to cross-generational, these are the best collaborations of the year from across the regional music scene. These tracks are snapshots of a scene in constant motion, where one of the main drives is to redefine the sounds of the Middle East and North Africa. The track is a masterclass in atmospheric fusion, blending Ash’s signature Middle Eastern-tinged deep house with Felukah’s soulful, bilingual urban pop sensibilities. <br>Small X x Saib - BGHITA standout from their collaborative NAFIDA EP, ‘BGHIT’ finds a middle ground between the street-level grit of Moroccan rap and the hazy, sun-drenched textures of lo-fi beats. <br>Thawra x Ebaa Monther x Noise Diva - 3antarFew collaborations this year managed to be as intellectually sharp as they are sonically abrasive.

Nigeria averts unilateral U.S. action by cooperating on airstrikes
LAGOS, Nigeria — By publicly cooperating with the United States on Christmas Day airstrikes, Nigeria’s government may have averted humiliating unilateral military action threatened a month ago by President Donald Trump. Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said on Friday Nigeria had acted jointly with the U.S., but not targeting any specific religion. “Nigeria is a multi-religious country, and we’re working with partners like the U.S. to fight terrorism and protect lives and property,” Tuggar told Nigeria’s Channels Television. Last month, Trump threatened to order his forces to take military action in Nigeria unless the authorities there acted to stop what he described as the persecution of Christians. “It’s very likely this is the group Trump referred to when mentioning U.S. military strikes in Nigeria,” said Confidence MacHarry, senior analyst at Lagos-based SBM Intelligence.

Algeria Passes Bill to Criminalize Colonization
(2 Minutes Read)The President of the Assembly said the bill sends a “clear political message that Algeria’s memory is neither erasable nor negotiable.”Algerian parliament passes law declaring French colonization of Algeria a crime. They then unanimously passed a bill declaring French colonization of Algeria a “crime of state.” The new law demands an apology and reparations. The President of the Assembly said the bill sends a “clear political message that Algeria’s memory is neither erasable nor negotiable.” France ruled the North African nation from 1830 to 1962. French President Emmanuel Macron has previously acknowledged France’s colonisation of Algeria as a “crime against humanity” but stopped short of offering an apology.

Sounds of the Africa Cup of Nations
It is impossible to imagine the Africa Cup of Nations without music. Here’s a round-up of what players and fans are listening to after the opening matchday of the tournament. In no other competition do teams step off their bus chanting in unison as they enter the stadium and walk toward the dressing room. While some Cameroonians felt the display reflected poorly on a national institution, much of the continent found it entertaining. The Benin Cheetahs, meanwhile, jumped on a TikTok challenge set to Congolese rapper Naza’s “Tout donner” (“Gave it all away”).

U.S. launches strikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria on Christmas Day, Trump says
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X: "The President was clear last month: the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) must end. This has led to precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes in the North West." Map shows area of U.S. strikes on ISIS targets in northwest Nigeria on Dec. 25, 2025. The State Department usually releases its annual Report on International Religious Freedom in the spring, but has not yet done so this year. Nigeria was first placed on the "country of particular concern" list by the U.S. in 2020 in what the State Department called "systematic violations of religious freedom."
