I study MENA (Middle East and North African) history and politics and try to become an established scientist.
I will try to post interesting stuff about North Africa and my science way!
Stay hydrated!)
I can’t imagine what has lead to this result. Moreover, despite everything Assad is still a human. Can’t imagine him seeing this. All of his work undone in mere weeks.
Israel is preparing to conquer the Druze region, Kurds prepare to fight Turkey.
Nothing will be the same ever again. Dark times…

Republic of Korea:
1.Morocco opens up the African continent for the Korean companies.
2.The location of Morocco makes investments in infrastructure and renewables quite promising and profitable.
3.There is potential of manufacture facilities opening in Morocco for both European and African markets

Kingdom of Morocco:
1. South Korea is a great partner to diversify Morocco’s predominant European trade.
2. South Korea can provide a lot of investments for the renewables and tech in Kingdom.
3. South Korea is a traditional West ally, which perfectly plays into Western orientation of the Kingdom

Not to mention that this advance almost certainly will help Israel in its war in Gaza and ceasefire in Lebanon(that some speculate was already partly broken by Israel), draining resources from Hezbollah and Iran.
Anyhow stay hydrated and don’t doom scroll too much, my friends!

And it saddens me deeply. The status-quo that was created 4 years ago finally gave people of Syria some peace.
And now — it’s gone…

This sounds amazing!
Maybe you can even bring Brennan Lee Mulligan for one of the episodes — it would be absolutely stunning and very educational🤓

Overall I think that the question of Ceuta and Melilla won’t be resolved by military affairs. I doubt it will be resolved in 10-20 years at all.
The recreation of the committee is, I think, nothing more, than an attempt to redirect public attention on Morocco from the worsening economy……..

To top it all off, the Morocco is one of the most important partner for the whole Europe, supplying and building a lot of infrastructure for the Europe’s persistan energy problem, for example Moroccan King is very much involved in the construction of new gas pipes system form Nigeria to Spain*3

And this is… strange, to say the least.
In no world can I see a conflict between a NATO member and and one of the main allies of NATO in Africa in the terrorism*1
Moreover recently the trade relations between Spain and Morocco increased and Spain has become one of the biggest trading partner*2

All in all — I think Trump administration will bring more harm than good to the MENA region, but who knows.
At the end of the day there are rational people left in the White House… I suppose…

Stay hydrated, my friends and may the peace be with you🙃

This will create more problems for Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, which can lead to the increase in China’s and Russian influence.
Of course this is very very very unlikely, because if the Yemenis can disrupt the global trade, imagine the impact of global war in the region.

Or the Jordan windmills, can become less interesting for the investors and will be slowed down.

5. Iran… It’s hard to predict what will happen. I, personally, think that USA wouldn’t risk a full-scale military operation in Iran and would better deal with it by Israeli hands.
November 14, 2024 at 11:03 PM
The probability of conflict drastically increases in addition to economic consequences for Algeria from the supposed USA help to the Morocco.

4. Green energy will lose its value. If the USA will start exporting more oil to the Europe even the more prominent projects like the sun energy in Morocco
November 14, 2024 at 11:03 PM
3,5. In the North Africa I think it will lead to the enormous increase in tension between Morocco and Algeria both of which chose their sides already
In 2021 two countries cut their diplomatic ties. Morocco started buying Israeli weapons and Algeria — Russian and Chinese.
With more aggressive USA

I afraid that relationship will KSA will become colder. They won’t seize(because duh, the Saudis kinda depend on USA’s weapons) but the more supportive allies like the ones who signed Abraham Accords will become more interesting for the trade and investment and they will become more important
November 14, 2024 at 11:03 PM
3. The power balance in MENA region will slightly change.
Right now even though the American influence is strong it’s becoming weaker.
American troops are scheduled to pull out of Iraq in the 2025.
KSA plays a big role in the Palestinian conflict.
If the USA will continue to support Benjamin
November 14, 2024 at 11:03 PM
I think we will see something like Abraham Accords 2.0, but I don’t think anyone will join them and it will be just the improvement of current relationships with Morocco, Sudan, UAE and Bahrain.
Maybe Sudan will even drop out of the Accords, but that depends on its Civil war
