Last update: 11 hours agoAfrican Atlantic Gas Pipeline (AAGP): ECOWAS heads of state signed the Intergovernmental Agreement in Freetown, formally backing the Nigeria–Morocco Atlantic gas pipeline. The project targets up to 30 bcm/year over a ~6,900 km hybrid offshore-onshore route across 13 coastal countries, with 15 bcm earmarked for Morocco and Europe via the existing Morocco–Spain link; next steps include setting up a project company in Casablanca and a Pipeline Higher Authority in Abuja, then mobilising investors and moving toward a final investment decision. Mauritania–Europe trade & security: Germany’s foreign minister began a regional tour with a stop in Nouakchott, pushing deeper cooperation on trade, energy (including LNG and green hydrogen) and security, while highlighting Mauritania’s role in regional stability and refugee hosting. Migration & safety at sea: The UN refugee agency reported nearly 150 migrants dead or missing off Mauritania after two incidents (July 14–18), while Mauritania’s coast guard gave different missing figures—underscoring the risks on the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands. Regional governance: ECOWAS also approved new appointments for its institutions for 2026–2030, including commissioners and judges for the ECOWAS Court of Justice.
