Tangier Police arrest Interpol-wanted Portuguese suspect – The North Africa Post
Tangier’s judicial police arrested a 33-year old Portuguese national who was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the Portuguese authorities and an Interpol red notice, security sources announced Monday. The suspect, who was serving a 25-year prison sentence in Portugal for ties with a criminal network and robbery at gunpoint, now faces a maximum prison sentence of 31 years under the international arrest warrant issued against him. He has been placed in police custody for the judicial investigation, while criminal extradition procedures have been launched under international security cooperation mechanisms. This arrest is part of a sustained effort by the DGSN-DGST Cluster to pursue internationally wanted persons in cross-border criminal cases. The Moroccan security services attach great importance to strengthening international security cooperation mechanisms, particularly regarding the identification, tracking, and apprehension of internationally wanted persons in connection with serious criminal cases.

Cal State Fullerton’s new minor unites students from Southwest Asia and North Africa
A new minor offered at Cal State Fullerton this fall was initiated by students, who proposed the idea to faculty members with research showing how it could be done. Middle East is primarily a Western term, explained Talia Boukhalil, who is a business administration student and now president of the SWANA student organization. “We saw that we already had classes in history, language and business that related to the SWANA region,” Boukhalil said. Chammas believes that the SWANA student organization and now the SWANA minor provide an important boost to Cal State Fullerton students whose families come from the region. When I first came to Cal State Fullerton, I had no one.

'I have this problem where I buy a lot': Selim Bouafsoun on the art that excites him
Selim Bouafsoun has been amassing his eclectic collection of contemporary art for nearly ten years. Bouafsoun was a co-founder of the charity Nafas Tunis, which raised money for Tunisian hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Alongside his collaborations with the London-based Gasworks arts organisation, he also supports the Delfina Foundation and Chisenhale Gallery. And I started reflecting and saying, ‘I’m from Tunisia, I’m from North Africa.’ And I realised that there’s very little patronage work being done. I have this problem where I buy a lot: I’ve bought 17 artworks this year so far.
