Bir Lahlou - APS
The Sahrawi government “firmly” condemned Moroccan King Mohamed VI’s speech, addressed on the occasion of the anniversary of his enthronement, and which marks “Morocco’s obstinacy and its headlong policy” concerning the Sahrawi cause.
King Mohamed VI’s speech “marks Morocco’s obstinacy and headlong policy concerning the Sahrawi cause in order to obscure the settlement plan signed by his father, Hassan II with the Sahrawi side under the aegis of the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1991,” said Friday the Sahrawi Press Agency, SPS, quoting a communiqué of the Sahrawi Information ministry.
The Sahrawi side “deplores the incapacity of Moroccan King and his government to collaborate positively and responsibly with the UN and the African Union to reach a lasting peace between Morocco and the Sahrawi Republic” which should be realized on the basis of the settlement plan signed in 1991 by the two parties and adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council, General Assembly and the OAU,” added the source.
The communiqué also denounced the fact that « Morocco became the main source of instability in the North and West African regions by occupying parts of the Sahrawi territory and violating the borders” in addition to the fact that it is “the producer and exporter of drugs to the Sahel countries through organized crime networks,” concluded the communiqué.
