Current reports say that more than 800 people have died & hundreds are injured. The quake struck after 11pm, when most people are at home and in bed.

"#Morocco’s geophysical centre said the #quake struck in the Ighil area with a magnitude of 7.2. The US Geological Survey put the quake’s magnitude at 6.8 and said it was at a relatively shallow depth of 11.5 miles (18.5km)."

"French officials have tried to play down any rift between the two countries, which is centred on the issue of #WesternSahara, which #Morocco wants #France to recognise as Moroccan.

Relations have also been tested amid French President Emmanuel #Macron’s efforts to forge closer ties with #Algeria." #earthquake #SearchAndRescue

I'm beginning to understand why Morocco is reluctant to accept aid from #France (who supports Algeria) - but they should. And soon.

"The countries have had political differences for decades over a number of issues, most notably #WesternSahara, where #Algeria has supported an independence movement while #Morocco has been trying to claim sovereignty over the region."

the world's very small if you only go to "safe" countries

kkarhan,

@kaia granted the way @AuswaertigesAmt defines "safe" is often weird, since I'd argue that #Cuba is safer than the #USA and that #Somaliland and #WesternSahara are safer than #Afghanistan.

I wished they were more granular in their recommendations in like a 0-10 scale between "suicidal, we won't be able to provide any consular support whatsoever" to "fun for the whole family and friends, even if you are a queer & plural polycule!"

#Israel this week said it considers #WesternSahara part of #Morocco, fully taking Morocco's side against #Polisario/#SADR #independence movement. This is an unusual move, but follows same move from #USA in 2020. https://www.reuters.com/world/morocco-says-israel-recognises-its-sovereignty-over-western-sahara-2023-07-17/

Wonder what's been going in #WesternSahara the past few years? The International Crisis Group recently published a good detailed summary (PolGeoNow takes no position on their policy recommendations): https://www.crisisgroup.org/middle-east-north-africa/north-africa/western-sahara/paving-way-talks-western-sahara

Israel’s Netanyahu to recognise #Morocco’s sovereignty over #WesternSahara: Knesset Speaker – Why? To copy Trump? Who was then “paid off” by Morocco joining the Abraham Accords. Once a pay-off is paid why do more feeble-minded pay? @morocco @westernsahara @israel
