It expressed “strong protest over the UN Secretary General’s statements on the Western Sahara issue, registering that these statements are not politically astute, and are unprecedented in the history of his ancestors, and contrary to the resolutions of the Security Council, as they are offensive and affect the feelings of the Moroccan people as a whole “.

Moroccan overload emotional reaction towards Ban Ki-moon, reflects the extent of the shock that hit the Moroccan regime, as it appeared lonely and obstinate in the attachment to its colonial thought for the occupation of Sahrawis.

Ban Ki-moon visited, last Saturday, the Sahrawi refugee camps and met with refugees, where he confirmed that he will spare no effort to help achieve progress towards a solution to the Sahara issue.

Ban Ki-moon was effected with what he saw and feels guilty because he did not move before then, expressing concern about the security situation and the increased criminal activities and drug trafficking, and the prospect of the arrival of extremists and terrorists to the region, but did not notice any infiltration of terrorist elements into the camps.”
