Morocco's “Makhzen” in tight corner after Echorouk's fact-finding assignment report in occupied Sahraoui town of Dakhla (Part 5)
Writer and Journalist Anouar Malek

The fair-minded and objective fact-finding report I compiled for “Echorouk” in the wake of my recent eventful visit to the occupied Sahraoui town of Dakhla and the telling evidence I brought about the appalling situation of the freedom-seeking Sahraoui population there, has made the obsessive Moroccan Makhzen see red.   

  • This general outcry by the Makhzen which corresponds to a U-turn from its previous position could have attained any other Algerian on account of the Makhzen’s  venomous spite and ill-feeling towards any advocate of outright self – determination of the Sahraoui people.
  •  
  • The Moroccan Makhzen taken aback by the unexpected turn in events has been using the Moroccan civil society through a would-be “parallel diplomacy” and a media uproar to flaunt the so – called “internal autonomy option for Western Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty”.
  •  
  • From there emerged the idea of organizing a symposium in Dakhla which was to bring together community activists from Mauritania, Chile, Egypt, Spain, Brazil, Tunisia, Britain, Yemen, Iraq and Peru.
  •  
  • But on my arrival, I found only the Spanish university professor, Fernandez José accompanied by his brother, a doctor, whose names don’t even appear on the symposium’s program.
  •  
  • Were present finally only lawyer José Antonio Sanchez Santana and writer Alejandro Garcia.
  •  
  • I learned afterwards that a letter had been conveyed to the Royal cabinet on behalf of the symposium’s participants hailing the Monarch for his speech on the occasion of the throne’s feast.
  •  
  • Certain of my numerous opponents interpreted my fact – finding assignment report drafted in the wake of my visit to the occupied Sahraoui town of Dakhla as an Algerian response to the Moroccan king’s virulent speech against Algeria, an assertion which is utterly groundless as the Algerian reply to this speech came promptly from official Algerian channels.
