Recent news impact
No clear, high-signal recent enacted change (e.g., new border restrictions, asylum/residence policy changes, or a major security incident with verified timing in the last 45 days) was identified for Western Sahara that would materially shift short-term relocation prospects. Existing travel advisories indicate persistent security and militarization risks, but these function more as baseline conditions than as a new news-driven change in the relocation outlook.
