French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Morocco on Monday for a three-day visit focused on enhancing trade, climate change, and immigration partnerships. In Rabat, he will meet with King Mohammed VI and Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, and address the Moroccan parliament. The visit aims to repair relations between the two countries, strained in recent years, particularly over France’s position on Western Sahara. In July, Macron shifted France’s long-standing stance, supporting Morocco’s autonomy plan for the region, which has been welcomed by Rabat, especially after it gained U.S. recognition for its claim in exchange for normalizing ties with Israel in 2020. Morocco is the largest destination for French investment in Africa, hosting over 900 French subsidiaries, and is also France’s top trading partner in the region. Macron’s visit may pave the way for future economic agreements and address ongoing immigration and visa policy issues.

The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it will restrict visas for individuals deemed responsible for undermining democracy in Ghana. This decision comes ahead of the presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for December 7. Ghana has enjoyed nearly two decades of peaceful, free, and fair elections. However, recent allegations of voter roll irregularities have raised concerns about a potential democratic decline. This upcoming election will mark the ninth consecutive general election since Ghana returned to multi-party democracy in 1992. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that the visa restrictions will target those “who undermine democracy,” not the Ghanaian government or its citizens. Last month, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ghana’s largest opposition party, staged nationwide protests demanding an audit of the voter roll, claiming to have uncovered thousands of unauthorized transfers and removals of voter names. Incumbent President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is stepping down after his second and final term. Thirteen candidates have been approved for the presidential race, but analysts predict a two-man competition between former President John Dramani Mahama and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
