In a long article made public this week, the president of the Peruvian Council of Solidarity with the Sahrawi People hailed Morocco’s autonomy plan, giving up on his pro-Polisario position.
In January, the UN Personal Envoy for Western Sahara announced that he is preparing for a second «round-table», on the Western Sahara dispute. But instead of bringing the four parties together, Horst Köhler might arrange a meeting between Morocco and the Polisario.
On Saturday, the Polisario Front announced that it signed an agreement with an Australian company to explore minerals in the Sahara. This is not the first time that the Front signs similar agreement with foreign companies.
An appeal presented by the Polisario has been ruled «inadmissible» by the Court of Justice of the European Union. The institution of the European Union had ruled in favor of the Front in the past.
An African Union legal advisor has urged the continental organization to delete reference to Western Sahara in the AU Peace and Security Council’s report. The decision was neglected by the Polisario which stated that the PSC’s Commissioner commented on the territorial dispute.
Speaking to the Associated Press, sources from the Moroccan and Saudi governments said that Rabat has recalled its ambassador to Riyadh. They confirmed that Morocco has ceased military operations with the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen’s war.
