POLISARIO Front Condemns French Diplomatic Provocation
CHAHID EL HAFED - The POLISARIO Front has vehemently rejected the visit of the French ambassador to Morocco, Christophe Le Courtière, to the occupied city of El Aaiún. This visit is perceived as a French attempt to exploit the ongoing tensions in the region, potentially escalating them towards further conflicts and confrontations. In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sahrawi Republic, the POLISARIO Front characterized this visit as a new chapter in the aggressive actions against the Sahrawi people, undermining international efforts to find a just and impartial resolution to the Western Sahara issue.
The visit by the French ambassador to the occupied territory of El Aaiún is seen as a provocative measure that adds to France's colonial legacy, marked by violations of international law and resolutions concerning Western Sahara. Despite this, the region remains a decolonization issue. This diplomatic engagement is viewed as a French endeavor to capitalize on the existing tensions in the area, pushing it towards further military engagements. With such disgraceful behavior, France positions itself as an accomplice, supporting and encouraging Morocco's occupation while perpetuating its policies of expansion and the ongoing violation of human rights in Western Sahara, alongside the plundering of its resources and disregard for international legitimacy.
The POLISARIO Front has expressed its strongest condemnation of this visit, labeling it yet another act of aggression against the Sahrawi people and an effort to reinforce the colonial status imposed by the Moroccan occupying regime. This stance taken by France contradicts its obligations as a member of the United Nations Security Council and undermines its role in safeguarding international peace and security.
International Community's Efforts Under Threat
The French ambassador's visit to the occupied city of El Aaiún, along with previous visits by French officials across various economic and cultural sectors, represents a renewed attempt to encourage the Moroccan occupier in its expansionist policies and sovereignty claims—claims that neither France nor anyone else can legitimately grant. The POLISARIO Front reiterates that the only legitimate holder of sovereignty over Western Sahara is the Sahrawi people. This visit is seen as a significant contribution to undermining international efforts aimed at achieving a just and impartial solution to the Western Sahara issue, alongside being a new provocation that challenges the will of the international community.
In conclusion, regardless of how much France becomes involved in supporting Morocco's occupation war against the Sahrawi people, it will only serve to strengthen the determination of the Sahrawi people in their pursuit of inalienable rights to freedom and independence, as well as their commitment to establishing their independent state, the Sahrawi Republic, which is a factor for balance and stability in the region. France has a role that extends beyond investing in war, tension, and the spread of animosity among Maghreb peoples; its true role should be to foster a just peace, bridge perspectives, uphold legitimacy and justice, and ensure the supremacy of international law.
