Three days after a bill was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to classify the Polisario Front as a terrorist organization, John Bolton has come forward to defend his long-time allies in the movement. «I think the first time I went to Tindouf was about 30 years ago. And I saw no signs of Marxists, or jihadists, or Iranians, or anything like that, and I've been there many times», he said in an interview with a Spanish media outlet.
«This is just propaganda from the Moroccans and their supporters; there's no evidence of this. You know, you have American NGOs working in the camps around Tindouf that support those things and provide humanitarian assistance. We would have heard something (...) I think it's kind of outrageous, but, you know, that's how desperate I think they are», said the former U.S. National Security Advisor under Donald Trump.
Bolton’s latest remarks come just days after armed Polisario elements launched projectile attacks on Friday, June 27, targeting several sites in Es-Smara, including a MINURSO barracks.
It’s worth noting that Bolton had already voiced his support for the Polisario in an op-ed published by an American media outlet a few weeks earlier.
