Mekhzen Is Shocked After The Appointment Of Lamamra As UN Mediator

It seems that Morocco’s Mekhzen does not wake up from a diplomatic shock except to wake up to a new failure, which is a deeper setback for its settlement dreams in Western Sahara, and because it is weak in the face of history and geography, it has always sought to divert internal attention to a “phantom enemy” named Algeria, which it included in all its speeches and positions, when it comes to justifying successive defeats.

The last of these shocks, and not the last one, is the appointment of the former Algerian Foreign Minister, Ramtane Lamamra, a UN mediators to resolve international disputes, which is a prestigious position that he will share with 18 prominent international figures, including the former heads of states and foreign ministers, but this news shocked the Moroccan regime.

The pain has not been tolerated by the Moroccan political class, which is silent until now, but some media outlets revealed the disappointments that are hovering over the country’s public opinion.

Morocco website Hespress published, two days ago, that the problems of Morocco will not end with the departure of Ramtane Lamamra, last June, from the post of Algeria Foreign Ministry, and on the contrary, it will increase after he becomes a high-ranking official in the golden box of the UN Secretary-General’s team. What do they say to those who have ushered in the arrival of a friend of Morocco at the head of the UN? Before wondering: Is it just a coincidence? Or a message that needs to be decoded? “, referring to the recognition of Algeria’s victory in the battle of the international scenes, contrary to what was promoted by the Mekhzen diplomacy after the appointment of Guterres. 

The source, linked in an article that was signed by Ahmed Noureddine, a Moroccan researcher on international and strategic issues, the new appointment of Lamamra and the series of moves that are launched by the Algerian diplomacy since the appointment of Guterres.

He mentioned, in particular, that Morocco foreign minister rushed at the time to visit Washington on last May 16, and he was not someone other than Ramtan Lamamra, while the first meeting of Morocco FM, Nasser Bourita, with Rex Tillerson, until the seventh of this September, that is, after about four months”, as he said ..

The writer, in a process of venting and entertainment of the psyche, uses the false accusations of the eastern neighbor in an attempt to justify the poor relationships of Makhzen with the countries of the region, saying: “Between this and that, we should not forget that the Algerian interest in blocking the border crossing between Morocco and Mauritania, which is a bridge towards Africa in general and the region of “CEDAW” in particular, as we revealed some of the black intentions behind the events of Guerguarat six months after their occurrence, as it was announced recently that an Algerian project to open a crossing with Mauritania near Zouirate, and what was hidden was larger, to show that observers are aware of the effects of confusion and stumbling which the Mekhzen prepared successively on more than one level, as it loses in every new maneuver an additional front.

The Moroccan researcher returned to recall the facts of the detention of Moroccan ships that were carrying phosphates, most notably what happened at the “Elizabeth Port” in South Africa, considering that such work requires complex operations to track the Moroccan ships and the source of cargo, which is not available to the Polisario Front, but was a plan that was sponsored by all the services of the Algerian state.

After mentioning the previous failures, the writer confirmed the danger that faces the fate of colonialism in Western Sahara, although he did not mentioned it in this capacity, calling the Mekhzen system to deal with them strategically, and not through reactions or programs that are not separated by a pattern.
