The Night of the Moroccan Conspiracy in Japan Foiled

The Moroccan regime received a resounding slap in the face at the preparatory meeting for the Japan-Africa Summit “TICAD”, which was held in the Japanese capital Tokyo, on Friday and Saturday, August 23 and 24, despite the strong opposition of the Moroccan regime delegation, which employed all forms of “bullying” to thwart the participation of the Sahrawi Arab Republic delegation, but to no avail.
After the events witnessed on the first day of the meeting, which witnessed an attempt by the Moroccan regime delegation to physically assault the Sahrawi delegation, an act that turned into a scandal in the Japanese capital, the representatives of the Alawite regime finally surrendered to the fait accompli, in the face of the silence of the Japanese authorities, who did not respond to the Moroccan demands to exclude the Sahrawi delegation.
The second day of the meeting was calm, as the  proceedings proceeded normally, as the Sahrawi delegation, headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohamed Sidati, participated, according to the Sahrawi News Agency.
Mr. Sidati sat in the same place where the Polisario Front representative sat on Friday, between the Zambian and Zimbabwean delegations, and his participation this time did not cause any incidents, like those witnessed on the first day, after representatives of the Moroccan delegation tried to physically assault representatives of the Sahrawi delegation.
The Polisario Front celebrated this participation, which took place despite the noses of the representatives of the Moroccan regime, and the Sahrawi News Agency published a telegram accompanied by pictures of the Sahrawi Foreign Minister, Mohamed Sidati, greeting the members of the Zimbabwean delegation sitting next to him.
The Moroccan regime bet that the Japanese authorities would intervene to fulfill its hopes of excluding the Sahrawi delegation, just as it had desperately tried with other countries in similar meetings, but the disappointment was great because Rabat was moving this time believing that it had settled the Sahrawi issue as soon as it received a letter devoid of any legal value from French President Emmanuel Macron.
This is not the first time that the Alawite regime has been involved in such incidents. In 2022, Rabat did the same thing at the African-Japanese summit in the Tunisian capital, but its attempt was thwarted by the Tunisian authorities headed by Kais Saied, who responded to the Moroccan monarch, Mohammed VI, by receiving the Sahrawi president, Ibrahim Ghali, at the airport, which shook the Alawite regime, so it decided to escalate by recalling its ambassador to Tunisia, and the Tunisian president responded by recalling his ambassador to Morocco.
Since then, there has been no diplomatic representation between the two countries at the ambassadorial level. The participation of the Sahrawi delegation in the African-Japanese summit in Tokyo was a great shock to the Moroccan regime and its media and diplomatic arms, to the point that a Moroccan newspaper, which seems less enthusiastic in defending the Moroccan regime, considered the incident a violation of the sovereignty of a country like Japan, and wrote: “Algeria violated Japan’s sovereignty in order to impose Polisario representatives in the “TICAD” summits held on Japanese territory, and as an example of this, the presence of a delegation from the separatist movement (according to its claim) at the TICAD ministerial meeting in October 2018 in Yokohama.”
The Moroccan regime had previously done the impossible to prevent representatives of the Sahrawi Republic from participating in the recent Africa-European Union summit in Brussels, but the plot was foiled, as the Sahrawi delegation was received at the airport and was given the same procedures as the rest of the participating delegations.
