Three weeks after Germany’s former president Horst Kohler resigned, Algeria sent its Foreign Minister to New York to meet with the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. This trip aims at reiterating Algeria’s support to the Polisario.
In a conference held, Saturday, in Algeria, the Polisario denounced Morocco’s rejection of the African Union participation in the Western Sahara process. This rejection comes after the body announced that a presidential troika is the only party allowed to address the conflict.
The Polisario warned in a statement against using Horst Kohler’s resignation as an excuse to delay UN-led roundtable on Western Sahara. Commending the efforts of the German diplomat, the Front urged the UN to appoint a new personal envoy as soon as possible.
On Wednesday, the UN Secretary-General's spokesperson announced that the Personal Envoy to Western Sahara Horst Kohler resigned. Was his decision linked to health issues or Morocco’s reported pressure ?
In a regional seminar held by the UN Special Committee on Decolonization, the Polisario sought the opportunity to make mention of «self-determination» and «independence». Meanwhile, Morocco sent elected representatives from the Sahara to attend the UN seminar.
