Spain recognizes autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty

This is a strange radical shift in the Spanish position..

A big shift in the Spanish position ..
Spain is the main player in the Sahara issue, and most of the evil was coming from it..

This news is literally an earthquake; A country that was occupying this place returns and recognizes its true owner..The UN Security Council will be confused now..

In other related news..

The US President announced today, Friday, in a statement to the White House, the appointment of Puneet Talwar as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Morocco..

A White House statement said Talwar held senior positions in national security and foreign policy at the State Department, the White House and the US Senate.. The appointed US ambassador is currently a senior adviser to the State Department, while he previously served as the assistant secretary of state for political and military affairs, special assistant to the president, director on the National Security Council, and chief of staff to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee..

The only difference between an "extraordinary ambassador" and a "regular ambassador" is determined by the fact that the latter performs a specific purpose, while the former has "extended powers", a legal term that means an authorization to conclude agreements in the name of the state or body he represents..

Thales Launches Its Sixth Cyber Security Operations Center in Morocco to Serve the African Continent

1649356376366.png

  • Thales strengthens its status as a cybersecurity leader with the creation of a new Security Operations Center on the African continent, based in Morocco.
  • This operations center provides Moroccan and African administrations and businesses with effective supervision resources in the field of cybersecurity.
  • Increasingly targeted by cyber-attacks, the continent's businesses witnessed a rise in risk exposure during the pandemic with a broader field of attack.

Thales is opening a new Cyber Security Operations Center (SOC) in Morocco, the sixth in its international network. This center will provide real-time protection against cyber-attacks in the country and across the African continent as a whole.

The digital transformation of African societies, as illustrated by the extensive use of mobile payments across the continent, and the rise in teleworking due to the health crisis, have had a major impact on Africa's vulnerability to cyber-attacks. While businesses, administrations and individuals are becoming increasingly connected, this trend must be accompanied by an increase in the level of protection in order to tackle the multiplication and sophistication of attacks. Outside the financial sector, all sectors are affected, including the most important ones, such as government services but also water distribution, energy and telecommunications.

Furthermore, a new legal framework is driving African businesses to equip themselves with a means of supervision in the field of cybersecurity. Thales, which is already present in Morocco, is thus strengthening its cyber expertise on the continent.

The SOCs combine 24/7 threat detection and analysis capabilities and deliver responses in compliance with the country's cybersecurity infrastructure and policies. There are six SOCs located in Canada, France, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and now Morocco, and they currently form an international network operating according to the "follow the sun" model which offers continuous support to more than a hundred clients around the world, with an unequaled level of responsiveness and flexibility.

"Thales is proud to be able to strengthen its expertise and know-how in the field of cybersecurity in Morocco. The launch of this SOC demonstrates the Group's aspirations to support the development of security facilities in Africa, while closely matching its customers' needs. As well as our analysis capacities, we offer businesses access to a hybrid consultancy and monitoring solution for their activity, thus demonstrating our commitment to fostering skills and autonomy over the long term", Hicham Alj, Managing Director of Thales Morocco.

Thales offers its customers more than 20 years' expertise in the field of cybersecurity, in particular SOC solutions, combined with an extensive portfolio of solutions: cyber auditing and consulting, integration of cybersecurity solutions developed by Thales as well as solutions from leading publishers, and simulation of Penetration Testing and Red Teaming attacks.

In Africa, the Group supports its customers in ensuring compliance with regulations and technical processes, assessing cyber risks and their level of maturity, investigating and anticipating cyber crises and neutralizing complex attacks.

A British company announces expectations of more than two billion barrels of oil in the Moroccan coast of Agadir

According to the same sources, this discovery was made recently by the British company, which has a license to explore for oil in the Inezgane coast, which it obtained in 2019, and began exploiting it in August 2021 on a marine area estimated at 11,228 square kilometers.

On April 13, the company announced that this discovery indicates that there are high exploration opportunities in the region to extract the oil equivalent, pending the completion of all procedures and exploration operations with the aim of starting in the future to take extraction operations.

The same company had announced last August that initial expectations indicated the presence of more than two billion barrels of oil equivalent in this region, which it started exploration in, due to its presence in a geological line along the western coast of Africa known for its gas and oil discoveries.

The company indicated, through General Manager Simon Odie, that this area is unknown and the chances of oil exploration in it are very high, for the aforementioned reason and related to the oil and gas pipeline located in West Africa, adding that the company will own 75 percent of the exploiting share, while 25 percent will go to the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Minerals.
