El Aaiún
On 26 November, Mohammed VI made several changes of "walis" (civil governors), including Mohamed Jelmouss. The former "wali" of El Aaiún was appointed governor of the Doukkala-Abda region, but was dismissed from that post soon after. He was replaced by Khalid Dkhil, member of the CORCAS and son of a mayor of Dakhla during Spanish colonization era, marking the first time that a Sahrawi was appointed governor of the Laayoune-Bojador region.
