Terrible silence in Algeria after King Mohammed VI’s speech
Youssef Adadad – Heba Press
In a historic speech on the occasion of the forty-ninth anniversary of the victorious Green March, King Mohammed VI clearly and frankly defined Morocco’s positions on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.
The speech of King Mohammed VI fell like cold ice on the leaders of Algeria, as it stood out for its clarity and seriousness, and drew the map of the future of the region with Moroccan insistence on his adherence to legitimacy and his rejection of all miserable maneuvers. .
King Mohammed VI confirmed that the referendum thesis has become a thing of the past and has become obsolete, and that the United Nations has abandoned it.
In his speech, which came at a sensitive moment, the King underlined the firm positions of the Kingdom of Morocco with regard to the Sahara, stressing that any attempt to implement the idea of a referendum has become impossible, even unfeasible, taking into account current geopolitical developments.
This position was not only a political statement, but rather an explicit call from Morocco to the United Nations to assume their responsibilities in this regard, and to clarify the big difference between the legitimate reality of Morocco in its desert and the “other world » who still lives. on the illusions of the past.
Furthermore, King Mohammed VI raised the issue of detainees in the Tindouf camps, highlighting the permanent suffering that these people live in extremely harsh conditions of “humiliation and humiliation” and deprivation of their most basic rights. .
The King of Morocco also indicated that these conditions negatively affect all efforts made to find a peaceful and comprehensive solution to the Sahrawi question.
On the other side of the equation, the position of Algeria and the Polisario remains ambiguous on the possibility of counting the detainees in the Tindouf camps.
Many analyzes see this refusal as an attempt to maintain the situation as it is, since it is said that the Algerian regime uses the Sahara issue as a means of exporting its internal problems abroad, thus maintaining control of these regions and its political interests.
Algeria’s insistence on refusing to count detainees raises many questions about its true motives. Is it the fear of revealing the true number of detainees? Or is the rejection part of an exploitation of the Sahara issue for narrow political ends? Regardless, these detainees remain hostages to political interests with whom they have no connection, which compounds their suffering.
As Morocco continues its call for regional cooperation and partnership within the framework of mutual respect and common interests, particularly with regard to access to the Atlantic Ocean, the position of King Mohammed VI has been clear: Morocco does not reject those who wish to access the Atlantic Ocean, but within the framework of a true partnership that benefits all the peoples of the region. This initiative does not contradict the principle of sovereignty of Morocco over its desert, but rather aims for global and sustainable development for all.
Morocco always calls for cooperation in the field of economic and commercial development between countries in the region, which reflects a strategic vision aimed at strengthening regional ties and achieving common progress. But on the other hand, this cooperation cannot be done to the detriment of the territorial integrity or national sovereignty of Morocco, as King Mohammed VI clearly announced.
After King Mohammed VI’s speech, the question remains: how long will Algeria continue to ignore reality and follow the rhythm of time and place? Will you continue to obstruct any effort to establish social and humanitarian justice in the Tindouf camps?
Today, Algeria is experiencing great international isolation in the face of Morocco’s successive diplomatic successes after the growing international recognition of the Moroccanness of the Sahara and the opening of dozens of consulates in the southern provinces of the Kingdom of Morocco.
