Polisario Condemns Foreign Investment Collaboration
The Polisario Front has vehemently condemned what it describes as the "investment collusion" of foreign companies with Morocco, specifically targeting the French multinational corporation Engie. This condemnation is articulated through its affiliated entity known as the "Saharan Natural Resources and Legal Issues Working Group." The organization has criticized Engie’s involvement in energy infrastructure projects within Morocco's southern provinces, deeming this an expansion detrimental to the agricultural sector.
In its statement, the Polisario Front asserts that Engie is facilitating the ongoing exploitation of the Sahara and its natural resources by enabling the transformation of arid lands into farms aimed at export. This action is viewed as a direct contribution to Morocco's continued control over the Saharan territories, which has been a longstanding point of contention.
The timing of this statement coincides with the 15th high-level meeting between Morocco and France, where significant economic agreements were signed. These developments further intensify the scrutiny surrounding foreign investments in regions with complex political dynamics.
