MINURSO : FAR denies the creation of «a bilateral military mechanism» with the Polisario

Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) denied having taken part to a proposal submitted by the MINURSO for the creation of a joint military mechanism in the Sahara. In a communiqué sent to Yabiladi, the body revealed that it «wasn’t involved in any dialogue with the Polisario and would never be».

«Moreover, the Royal Armed Forces are working closely with MINURSO to ensure compliance with military agreement No. 1 and ceasefire agreements», the FAR added.

For the record, the recent report of the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the Sahara featured in «paragraphs 26 and 27 FAR’s will to participate with MINURSO in a mechanism for the bridging of points of view in applying the military agreement No. 1», the same source explained, adding that this mechanism «is between the Royal Armed Forces and MINURSO».
