Foreign Minister of Western Sahara Exposes Morocco's Maneuver

Morocco’s intention to join the African Union is a new manoeuvre to gain time in both international and domestic levels, Foreign Minister of Western Sahara, Mohamed Salem Ould Salek.

“Calling 28 African countries for the expulsion of Polisario from the Union is a lie. The Zionist entity is like Morocco, because the first works on the abortion of entering Palestine to the United Nations, and the second works to the exclusion of Western Sahara from Africa”.

Official of the Sahraoui Diplomacy uncovers the truth of what happened at the last summit of the African Union in Rwanda, especially with leaks that speak about a petition that was made by 28 African countries to expel the Polisario, and added during a press conference, on Saturday, at the headquarters of the Sahrawi Embassy in the capital: “Moroccan press published a list of countries that support Morocco and the expulsion of Western Sahara, and this is a lie and a fraud and a fallacy”.

“List of countries are three categories, the first did not sign at all on what Morocco said, and put their names without a signature, and a second group of countries that received envoys from the king and who said that they wanted to return to the African Union regardless the presence of Western Sahara, as this group said that there is no problem provided that Morocco will sit with Western Sahara, and the third group are known to be supporters of the Moroccan thesis.” As it is known that 6 countries like Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Burkina Faso stands in favour of Morocco”.

“Morocco faced a large defeat in Kigali summit, where the leaders of the African countries said they told the envoys of King Mohammed VI, that if Morocco wishes to rejoin the Union again, it should respect the basic law and respect the actions and targets that are contained in the Union, including the most important, which is respecting the sovereignty of states and borders, which means that Morocco recognizes the Sahraoui Arab Republic “.

“The position of Algeria is strict and clear, but I can say that the Foreign Ministers in Africa have told us that they advised the envoys of Mohammed VI in many capitals told their king of recognising Western Sahara, if it wants to join the Union, and not to delay the referendum, and not to evade its responsibilities, or hindering the end of the Moroccan occupation to Western Sahara”.

“Recent move of Morocco may be at a French behest, to destroy the consensus in the continent. Morocco’s regime is like the Zionist entity. The Arab League is bankrupt and received no respect, but it turned into a joke, because most of its leaders become servants of Morocco”.
