Yabiladi was able to take a look at a copy of the UN Secretary-General's preliminary report on Western Sahara. The document to be presented soon by Antonio Guterres bears positive news for Morocco.
On the 21st of March, the European Commission pledged to integrate Saharan waters in the next fisheries agreement with Morocco. A decision that goes hand in hand with the EU companies’ will.
After ousting State Secretary Rex Tillerson, President Trump sacked HR McMaster as his national security adviser, appointing in his place John Bolton, a close friend of Algeria and the Polisario.
