Will Morocco agree to have direct negotiations with the Polisario while challenging the legitimacy of the movement that claims it represents Sahrawis ? Rabat's chances are limited as they are monitored by Donald Trump's advisor John Bolton.
As planned, the UN Security Council held a meeting, Wednesday, on the Western Sahara conflict. Before attending the session, the UN personal envoy Horst Köhler held talks with the National Security Advisor of the United States John Bolton.
The Polisario has officially launched a new campaign to oppose negotiations held currently between Morocco and the European Union.
In his recent report on the Western Sahara conflict, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission suggested to reopen the body's representing office at the MINURSO. The decision that can allow other AU bodies to deploy missions in the Sahara. Creating a mechanism to monitor the situation in the Sahara, however, remains questionable by some Moroccan parties.
Sahrawi activist and president of the Collective of Sahrawi Human Rights Defenders (CODESA) Aminatou Haidar did not attend a meeting hosted by UN Personal Envoy Horst Köhler in Laayoune.
Currently touring Morocco, Horst Köhler is still counting on the African Union upcoming summit, to be held soon by Mauritania. Unlike his predecessors, the UN Personal Envoy relies on the pan-African body.
