Responding to the fallacious assertions of the Algerian ambassador to the UN, Amar Bendjama regarding the question of the Moroccan Sahara, during the C24 seminar currently being held in Caracas, Venezuela, the ambassador permanent representative of Morocco to the UN , Omar Hilale, questioned him on his presence in Caracas, while he has a mandate from the Arab group to defend its causes in New York.
“You talk about the Sahara as if you are not responsible. I have a question to ask you, Mr. Ambassador: the Arab Group which elected you to represent the Arab countries on the Security Council would have liked you to stay in New York to defend the Palestinian cause.
You have been here for three days just to read your speech on the Moroccan Sahara,” replied the Moroccan diplomat. And continued: “You do not assume your responsibility for which the international community elected you to the Security Council, but you preferred to give priority to your national agenda, that of Algeria on the question of the Moroccan Sahara” .
Ambassador Hilale confronted his Algerian counterpart on his country’s obsessive fixation on the Moroccan Sahara, indicating that several questions are under examination by the C24, while he only addressed the Moroccan Sahara and did not did not deign to say a single word on the other questions. And Mr. Hilale continued to address his Algerian colleague: “It is your country which is responsible for freezing efforts to resolve this regional dispute.”
