AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoUNESCO World Heritage: UNESCO added six centuries-old Comoros medinas—living towns of palaces, mosques and narrow streets—to the World Heritage List, with Comoros culture officials calling it a “starting point” for protecting fragile heritage and opening new preservation opportunities. Water Crisis in Moroni: In Moroni, residents queue at dawn and rely on communal points or tanker deliveries as water runs dry; officials cite an outdated pumping station and a city far larger than when it was built, leaving families paying more for scarce supplies. Heritage Rollout Worldwide: UNESCO also designated 25 new World Heritage sites globally, including the D-Day landing beaches in France and Greece’s Mount Olympus, underscoring how heritage listings are expanding across cultures and ecosystems. Regional Finance: South Africa and Angola agreed to add Angola’s kwanza to the SADC RTGS system, aiming to cut cross-border transaction costs—while Comoros remains outside the setup. Maritime Security: The US disabled a Comoros-flagged vessel attempting to breach the Iran blockade, firing into its engine room after repeated attempts.
