On Sunday, 1st of April, permanent representative of Morocco to the United Nations, Ambassador Omar Hilale in a letter sent to president of the Security Council, Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, warned against the situation in the buffer zone.
Once again, the Polisario is sending its armed elements to the buffer zone. The separatist movement is now present in four buffer zones, namely Mahbes, Tifarity, Gueguerate and Bir Lahlou, breaking the arrangement set up in 1976 under the auspices of the United Nations.
Yabiladi was able to take a look at a copy of the UN Secretary-General's preliminary report on Western Sahara. The document to be presented soon by Antonio Guterres bears positive news for Morocco.
Serbian Foreign Minister’s comments on the Sahara have placed the Algerian Foreign Ministry on special alert. Abdelkader Messahel went to Belgrade urgently to defend his country’s position on this issue.
