Spanish Congress approves nationality for 70,000 Sahrawis: 'Spain corrected a historical error'

Now10 September 2026 at 19:01

The Spanish Congress approved the granting of Spanish nationality to approximately 70,000 Sahrawis, described as the correction of a historical error on the part of Spain. This decision represents a significant recognition of the historical link between Spain and Western Sahara.

Alfredo Leite drew attention to the recent intensification of Moroccan drone attacks against Sahrawi targets and military positions. This military escalation represents a violation of the ceasefire agreements previously established.

The vote in the Spanish Congress reflects a recognition of Spain's historical debt to the Sahrawi population, which lived under Spanish administration until 1975. This measure comes in a context of growing tension in the Western Sahara region.

The Moroccan drone attacks represent a new phase in the conflict, undermining peace efforts and further destabilizing a region already marked by decades of conflict.

Another 9/11 would be much harder today. But the next threat no longer needs 19 men and four planes

In an interview with Executive Digest on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Nuno Miguel Lemos, a security specialist, explains that an attack identical to the one in 2001 would be harder to carry out today due to reinforced security measures at airports and more intense scrutiny of extremist groups. However, he warns that the terrorist threat has evolved and become more unpredictable, no longer requiring large coordinated operations with multiple attackers and planes, which represents new security challenges and potential vulnerabilities, including in Portugal.

The US Department of Defense admitted 'concerns' about environmental contamination at Lajes Base in the Azores, but did not formally commit to continuing the decontamination works. The position represents a retreat from an intention announced a year ago to stop the cleanup work, which raised concerns in Portugal about environmental and public health risks at the American military base.
