Ambassador imbroglio deepens mistrust between Rabat and Paris

France is struggling to find the right person to be its next ambassador in Morocco. Its wait-and-see attitude has sparked some irritation in the kingdom, which in turn has redeployed its Paris ambassador and left his job vacant. The tussle is likely to further postpone any visit by Emmanuel Macron.

France holds up €50m Tunisian loan because of traceability concerns

France promised to loan Tunisia €100m at the end of 2020. It paid out the first installment in 2021 but has delayed paying out the estimated €50m second tranche. The loan, the first part of which was released in 2021, was part of a "public policy" package but aid of this kind is subject to strict traceability and management criteria which Tunisia's state-owned enterprises are unable to guarantee at present.
