After a tour of several countries in Southern Africa, the Polisario Front is once again turning to South Africa. Its foreign affairs chief made an urgent trip to Paris to deliver a message to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, containing new proposals for resolving the Sahara issue.
In South Africa, President Ramaphosa is under increasing pressure to normalize relations with Morocco. This time, the call is no longer made by Deputy Obed Bapela, as it was in October, but by sections of the ANC, his party.
