Algeria withdraws from a meeting over a map of Morocco that includes the Sahara

On Tuesday, April 6, an Algerian delegation withdrew from an online meeting, held in Rabat, by customs directors in North Africa and the Middle East.

The Algerian customs director protested against the presence of complete maps of the kingdom in the room hosting the meeting, demanding that they be withdrawn immediately. 

Obviously, his anger was not taken into consideration by the other participants. He thus decided to leave the meeting, reports the Echorouk News channel.

Yesterday in Dakhla, the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs affirmed that «the question of the Sahara is the raison d'être of Algerian diplomacy».
