Morocco abruptly drops clock change
Can't imagine any part of Africa would benefit from daylight savings changes. Morocco only fluctuates between 10h and 14h of daylight at its extremes.

Morocco in particular would benefit from synchronizing time changes with Spain as a major trade partner.

Spain will likely drop DST in a year or two, like most EU countries, but it’s not clear which side it will “land”. In this context, maybe Morocco is using this leap forward as a lobbying effort to nudge Spain towards the timezone it prefers.

Not afaik - the EU recommended to stop switching at some point, it did not mandate when or how. Spain will switch as usual this weekend.
