The long awaited decision of the CJEU on the fisheries agreement between Morocco and the European Union is scheduled for the 27th of February. Surprisingly, on the same day, the Polisario leadership commemorates the 42nd anniversairy of the proclamation of the first «government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic».
The Polisario front claims that responding to a letter sent by Brahim Ghali, the UN Secretary General is allegedly sharing the same opinion with the separatist movement on several topics. Meanwhile, Guterres’ spokesman denied the fact that said letter was answered by the UN top official.
Competitors participating to the Africa Eco Race have managed to cross the buffer zone separating Morocco and Mauritania. And despite the Polisario’s threats, the Monaco-Dakar rally headed on Monday to its final destination in Senegal without encountering any problems.
The Polisario Front has sent last week its forces to the Guerguerate buffer zone interrupting the peace that was established in the area since April 2017 and accusing Morocco of violating the cease-fire agreement reached in September 1991. To understand the circumstance of the current crisis, Yabiladi interviewed Bachir al-Dakhil, one of the founders of the separatist movement, who stressed that the eruption of an armed conflict in the buffer zone is rather excluded.
After more than four decades, the Polisario Front has opted for the single-party system. Now, the separatist movement’s leadership is intending to create its own opposition. It decided to roll out the red carpet to the coordinating committee of the «Sahrawi Initiative for Change» and prepare it to speak for the voiceless.
