AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoShadow Fleet Crackdown: A new report says Russia is increasingly registering oil tankers under African flags—including routes touching Comoros—to keep its sanctioned “shadow fleet” running, exploiting weak registry checks and obscuring true ownership. Maritime Crime Pressure: Spain’s Guardia Civil seized a Comoros-flagged vessel, the Arconian, carrying 30 tonnes of cocaine off West Africa, arresting all 23 crew members without bail—another reminder that Comoros-linked shipping routes are being watched closely. Local Impact: Comoros’ capital Moroni saw a transport strike for a second day after fuel price hikes, disrupting schools and shops, while union leaders were arrested. Diplomacy & Church: Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Tomasz Grysa as Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda; Grysa previously served as nuncio to Madagascar, Seychelles, and Mauritius and also as delegate to Comoros. Humanitarian Spotlight: Qatar Red Crescent’s Adahi campaign is drawing strong support and aims to deliver sacrificial meat as food aid across countries including Comoros.
