From Rabat to Cairo, governments in North Africa are shedding old dependencies and embracing new approaches to foreign policy, rapidly redefining their place in the world in the process. Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya are now pursuing a more pragmatic form of diplomacy driven by national interests and internal and external pressures. This strategic rebalancing prioritizes autonomy and tangible benefits, as well as addressing economic strife, youth discontent, and security threats. The region's engagement with global powers like China, Russia, and Gulf Arab states has also opened up alternatives to Western partnerships. North African leaders are actively adopting a multivector foreign policy, courting all available sides to maximize their options and making it clear that loyalty must be earned or bargained for.
