Christopher Ross: Trump’s proclamation on Western Sahara is “foolish and ill-considered decision”

Washington (USA) 18 December 2020 (SPS)- Former UN Secretary General’s Personal Envoy to Western Sahara, Ambassador Chrisopher Ross, criticised last Monday 14 December the latest Proclamation of Trump recognising the Moroccan illegal occupation of Western Sahara, considering it "foolish and ill-considered decision”. Following is the full opinion of Ross: I served as Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara from 2009 to 2017. Given that background, I’ve been asked repeatedly what I think of President Trump’s recent proclamation recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the former Spanish colony of Western Sahara.

Morocco: Did AU Violate its own principles?

BY Oscar Kasya * Thirty-three years after it broke ranks with the African Union (AU), then known as the OAU, Morocco was in 2017 readmitted amidst stiff resistance during an AU Summit held in Adis Ababa, Ethiopia. Morocco left the AU in 1984 in protest of the organization’s recognition of the legitimate struggle for independence of Western Sahara, also known as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), against Moroccan occupation. The organization admitted Western Sahara as its 51st Sovereign Member State led by the Polisario Front, prompting the angry reaction from Morocco. For starters, Spain which had colonized Western Sahara for about a century, signed a secret colonial agreement with Morocco and Mauritania in 1975 to partition Western Sahara between the two countries wit...

Moroccan HRC Statement a maneuver to cover up its occupation crimes in Western Sahara (CONASADH)

Bir Lehlu (Sahrawi Republic), Feb17, 2021 (SPS) - The Saharawi National Commission for Human Rights (CONASADH) affirmed that the statement published by the so-called Moroccan Council for Human Rights about its meeting with the human rights activist Sultana Khaya "It is nothing more than a maneuver to cover up the savage crimes suffered by the activist and her family at the hands of the Moroccan security forces."
