In Niamey (Niger), Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita reassured Moroccans about the Kingdom’s new membership of the African Free Trade Agreement Area, joined by the Polisario Front. Joining AfCFTA should not be interpreted as an acknowledgement of an entity that threatens the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, Bourita said.
The Polisario’s leadership was slammed by NGOs attending the 41st regular session Human Rights Council. The Front has launched a campaign against Sahrawi activists, arresting three individuals in the Tindouf camps.
Cote d’Ivoire has announced that it is opening an honorary consulate in Laayoune. The inauguration ceremony is taking place on Wednesday, an official told Yabiladi. The decision was denounced by a pro-Polisario platform.
