In a previous article, Yabiladi mentioned that the draft resolution on the Sahara had met some of Morocco’s demands. However, the document calls for relaunching direct negotiations between the Kingdom and the Front.
Waiting for Antonio Guterres to submit his report on Western Sahara to the Security Council, the floor was given to Horst Köhler. During a closed session, the UN organ expressed its worries regarding the situation in the Guerguerate.
The first meeting to bring Horst Köhler and a Moroccan delegation together went well. Morocco reiterated its conditions for the settlement of the conflict. A position that contradicts what the German mediator is advocating for.
While Nasser Bourita denied Köhler’s visit to Rabat and the deployment of a Moroccan delegation to Berlin, the German mediator continues with his consultations.
Following his meeting with Horst Köhler in September in New York, the chairperson of the African Union Peace and Security Council flew to Brussels to hold talks with the UN Personal Envoy once again. Did the Algerian official succeed in convincing Hosrt Köhler to allow the PSC to find a solution to the conflict in the Sahara, as its Eastern neighbor wishes ?
