Morocco prepares ground for launch of domestic military industry
Morocco has taken one step ahead to lay the legal foundation for the launch of its domestic military industry after the latest Council of Ministers, chaired by King Mohammed VI, approved a draft decree to that end. The decree enables licenses for the setting up of plants to manufacture weapons, ammunition, and military and security equipment to be used for the Royal Armed Forces and exports as well. The bill includes provisions governing trade, transport and transit of military equipment as well as tracking systems. The move is part of Morocco’s plan to modernize its army and reduce reliance on imports. Morocco has also sealed partnerships and cooperation ties with arms manufacturers in France, UK, Pakistan, Brazil and Belgium to ensure technology transfer that would offer a basis for a domestic military industry to reduce dependence on imports.

Coronavirus deepens Algeria’s economic malaise
The African Development Bank said the Algerian economy is the third worst hit in Africa at a time the country faces a multipronged political, economic and social crisis worsened by lack of political reforms. The bank said the contraction of the Algerian GDP by at least 6.4% this year was due to its heavy dependence on oil and gas. The IMF expects the fiscal deficit to hit 20% as a result of the uncontrolled subsidies policy, key to the country’s social peace. Algerian finances were dealt a blow by sluggish demand coupled with historically low oil prices and lack of reforms to diversify the economy. Algeria’s reserves shrunk from nearly $200bn in 2014 to near $62bn just before the coronavirus outbreak with the real prospect they could run out within two years.

'Silent pandemic': How women in the Middle East and North Africa are threatened online
Women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are facing increased harassment and abuse online as they continue to fight sexual harassment in the streets and domestic violence heightened by the stress of the coronavirus pandemic. "The other side of the coin is that we are more exposed to violence online. Social media, in particular Facebook and Twitter in the Gulf, are the main platforms used by youth and women in the region." Women activists and journalists in the MENA have often felt the brunt of online abuse in particular, with their work discredited through campaigns spreading false information online. One in four of those attacked online also closed their social media accounts and 42.9 percent said they actively engage in self-censorship.

Turkey opposes ceasefire in Libya
Turkey Monday said a ceasefire in Libya would not benefit its ally, the Government of National Accord (GNA), which has been halted in its push to recover the city of Sirte and Jufra air base. GNA forces are preparing to assault Sirte but Russia and Egypt have warned that the coastal city is a red line. The city, seized this year by Haftar’s forces, is reportedly hosting foreign mercenaries recruited by Moscow-based Wagner Group, a private security company said to be closed to Russian President Vladmir Putin. Haftar saw his military push to take over capital Tripoli derailed after Turkey entered the Libyan chess game through its military support to GNA forces. Egypt, following Haftar’s debacle, quickly proposed a ceasefire that GNA refused to observe.

Counting the burials: African nations scramble to track COVID-19
The program was set up to monitor deaths related to HIV/AIDS a decade ago. COUNTING THE DEADBilal’s project began tracking burials at all graveyards in Addis Ababa a decade ago. Bilal scaled back his surveillance to 10 cemeteries and began working for free, paying sources with a tiny grant from Addis Ababa University – until May. City officials called him for a meeting, desperate to know whether COVID-19 was cutting swathes through their city, he said. Bilal’s team has begun asking families at burials whether the dead had any possible COVID-19 symptoms, such as a cough or a fever.

To Deal Or Not To Deal, That Is The Question...
The continent also presented numerous opportunities for smaller independents and African companies allowing for the expansion of acreage holdings. However, after the 2014 oil price crash, a divergence in this trend is observed. It is worth remembering the collapse of Afren in 2015 was attributed at least in part to the 2014 oil price crash. The decision was taken before the 2020 oil price crash but would have been almost inevitable within the current environment. Regionally, North African exploration drilling will respond similarly in line with the recovery.
