China overtakes France in Algeria

Algeria is leaving behind what has been its main partner for more than a century to look towards other markets. Proof of this is the recent $1.5 billion deal signed between Algeria's state-owned hydrocarbon company, Sonatarch, and the British oil services group Petrofac to design and build a petrochemical complex in northwest Algeria. The complex will produce 550,000 tonnes per year of polypropylene, a plastic material used in the automotive, construction and other industries.

Relative calm ahead of new ceasefire in Sudan

The Sudanese army and the paramilitaries who seized power in April signed a seven-day ceasefire in Jeddah on 20 May. Although the population was more hopeful this time that it would be fully maintained and allow humanitarian aid to enter, fighting continued through the night. International pressure has not helped to stop all fighting and nightly air strikes were reported after the ceasefire began on Monday. In contrast, residents of Khartoum have reported relative calm in recent hours.

Norway to lead oil investments in 2023

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), forecasts a $474 billion increase in oil and gas exploration and production investment in third countries, i.e. outside OPEC, by 2023.

Although OPEC continues to maintain its demand forecasts for crude oil and the organisation itself has decided to cut production this year

Tension between International Energy Agency and OPEC

The head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol, said that the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting and Producing Countries (OPEC) should take into account that a rise in oil prices could further slow down the global economy. In the middle of this month, the IEA criticised the decision to cut oil production, warning that it could lead to a shortfall in the market that would increase prices and affect consumers. In addition, Birol considered that investments in oil should be reduced

El 15 de agosto de 2021, los talibanes tomaron de nuevo el control de Afganistán. Los logros en igualdad que se habían conseguido durante dos décadas se esfumaron en pocas semanas.

Morocco's financial institutions are victims of cybercrime

Cybercrime has become a multi-billion dollar business for criminals. Increasingly, governments, companies, hospitals or a bank's own customers are falling victim to cyber-attacks. Digital malefactors engage in activities that include exploiting weak passwords, masking their identity through proxy servers, stealing confidential information from companies and governments or ransomware, i.e. hijacking your data and then asking you for money to stop it from being disseminated. This last type of crim

Russia's oil benefits OPEC+

Following the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union since the beginning of the war, Russia has had to look for other countries to buy the fuel it produces. To attract new buyers, it has reduced the price of its fossil fuels. Historically, the European Union has been the main buyer of Russian oil. In December 2022, a maximum price of $60 per barrel from the Urals was imposed on imports to Europe in order to reduce Putin's profits from crude oil sales and, as a result, the

Water further strengthens relations between Morocco and Spain

The project consists of setting up and maintaining, for five years, two reverse osmosis treatment plants, which reduces the mineral salts in the water to make it drinkable.

In a Mauritanian refugee camp, young people are being guided from illiteracy to online training

In south-east Mauritania, just 50 kilometres from the border with Mali, lies the Mbera refugee camp. In 2012, when the war in Mali began, thousands of people fled to neighbouring Mauritania in search of the safety their country could not provide. A decade later, refugees are still arriving at the camp. Although the war officially ended years ago, ongoing terrorist activity in the region is forcing thousands of people to flee to neighbouring countries every year, to live in peace.

Biba, la primera y única mujer taxista de Burkina Faso

Biba Tankansande (Uagadugú, 1986), con su pequeño Citroën Saxo, recorre las maltratadas calles de asfalto o tierra de la capital de Burkina Faso. Las lluvias torrenciales dañan el suelo rojo de las calles llenas de tierra y polvo, cabras y niños que corretean y juegan fuera de sus casas. Uagadugú es una ciudad donde apenas hay aceras o semáforos. Miles de motos y bicicletas inundan las calles por las mañanas para ir a trabajar, ya que apenas existe el transporte público.
