Sahara : The Polisario Front blocks traffic in the Guerguerate border crossing

Members of the Polisario Front blocked, Wednesday, the Guerguerate border crossing, under the watchful eye of MINURSO.

Images seen by Yabiladi show separatists carrying banners and flags, placing stones and tires to block the border crossing, linking Morocco to Mauritania.

According to the Tindouf Autonomist Support Forum, known as Forastin, the Polisario sent its militia, accompanied by demonstrators, to the buffer zone, which constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

This move comes as the UN Security Council is preparing to adopt a new resolution on the Western Sahara conflict, extending the mandate of MINURSO, which expires at the end of October.
