AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoUNESCO Heritage: Six centuries-old medinas in the Comoros—living towns of palaces, mosques and narrow streets from as far back as the 12th century—have been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List, with the culture minister calling it a “starting point” and warning that the heritage is fragile but now opens doors for protection. Maritime Security: US forces disabled the Comoros-flagged M/T Lavine after repeated attempts to breach the Iran blockade in the Gulf of Oman, firing into its engine room; the incident comes as Iran and the US trade strikes and warnings. Sanctions Evasion Watch: A new report says Iranian and Russian “shadow fleet” tankers rely on fake websites that impersonate African maritime authorities and registries (including Comoros) to generate false documents and flag registrations. Regional Mobility: Lebanon has listed Comoros among African countries eligible for tourist visa-on-arrival, while Antigua and Barbuda and Panama also published visa-free country lists that include Comoros.
