The Polisario, protected by Algeria, accuses France of obstructing the restoration of peace and stability in the region of North-West Africa, and denounces its blatant complicity with Morocco, which slows down unity of the peoples of the Greater Maghreb and cooperation and integration between its countries.
The Polisario is unhappy with France. At the origin of this discontent, the declarations of the French ambassador to Morocco, Christophe Lecourtier, last Thursday in Rabat, during a conference organized by the Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences – Rabat Agdal, on the theme “France-Morocco relations: issues and perspectives”. The French diplomat affirmed that his country supported Morocco from the start of the Sahara conflict, armed it, and even its army intervened. He also said that France supported Morocco at the United Nations when it was isolated, and that it was among the first countries to support the Moroccan autonomy plan for Western Sahara.

In a statement, the Polisario described the French ambassador’s statements as “dangerous”, before condemning them “in the strongest terms”. The separatist movement accuses France of “pursuing a policy of hegemony”. France’s continued support for Morocco leads “to procrastination and degradation which will have serious consequences for all the countries and peoples of the Maghreb region, for French strategic interests, as well as for international peace and security.” he adds.

The Polisario nevertheless hopes that France will overcome “this obsolete policy” and contribute “to the restoration of peace”.
