Mauritania has sent its foreign minister to Rabat, a visit that comes at a sensitive security and political moment for Nouakchott. Rabat’s support is crucial to Mauritania’s regional and international ambitions.
Accusations and testimonies point to possible links between the Azawad Liberation Front, jihadist groups active in the Sahel, and the Polisario, with areas of influence reportedly extending into Algeria.
Unlike Algeria, Morocco has remained committed to a consistent policy on the Mali issue, despite changing circumstances. This approach is based on two fundamental pillars: the defense of the territorial integrity of states and a genuine commitment to combating terrorism.
