Invited by the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara Horst Köhler, a Polisario delegation is currently in Berlin to «hold consultations from Monday to Tuesday».
According to the Front’s press agency SPS, «these consultations come in the context of Mr. Köhler's efforts aimed at activating the United Nations-sponsored political process in Western Sahara».
SPS recalled that during a press briefing held at the Security Council, on January the 29th, Antonio Guterres’ personal envoy announced that he will be inviting parties related to the territorial dispute for consultations to prepare for the second round-table, expected to take place March in Geneva.
Köhler and the Polisario’s meeting in Berlin was announced last Monday by the Front’s press agency, which reported that consultations will take place in the beginning of March, quoting sources close to the UN personal envoy.
Meanwhile, Moroccan diplomatic sources couldn’t confirm that Horst Köhler would arrange a similar meeting with a Moroccan delegation in Berlin.
However, sources close to the file told Moroccan media that the Kingdom preferred to meet the German envoy in Paris instead of Berlin. These reports were denied by well-informed sources Yabiladi spoke to on Monday.
In March, 2018, Morocco and the UN envoy for Western Sahara met in Lisbon, Portugal, for consultations. A similar meeting with a Polisario delegation was held during the same period in Berlin.
