The author of “SADR is not a State”, maintains his statements made in December 2021 in Paris. Mustapha Ali Sidi El Bachir, although he has since been isolated by the Polisario leadership and deprived of trips abroad, still heads the “ministry of occupied territories and the Sahrawi diaspora”, without having revised his convictions. This is evidenced by his intervention during a recent meeting held in the Tindouf camps to commemorate the 51st anniversary of the creation of the Polisario, on May 10, 1973, under the theme “The independent Sahrawi State is the solution”.
Wearing fatigues, El Bachir declared that “the republic does not exist”. And to sharply accuse the Polisario political organization “of having brought the Sahrawis to Lahmada” on Algerian territory in 1976.
“I am not a minister of the occupied territories, I am only a refugee registered in the constituency of Mahbes. Brahim Ghali is not a president. He is also a refugee registered in the Lagouira constituency. You have to be realistic and I’m not going to lie to you, I’m not a minister. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ould Salek, is in Algiers. Our Prime Minister, Bouchrya Beyoun is not a head of government,” he said in December 2021 in Paris.
Mustapha Ali Sidi El Bachir comes from the Rguibates tribe (from the East), from the Bouihates faction, the strongest in numbers in the Tindouf camps, even if the Algerian government does not trust its executives. In question, the return to Morocco, at the beginning of the 90s, of Omar El Hadrami, and the support of Mustapha Ould Sidi Mouloud, in 2010, for the Moroccan autonomy plan. The Sahrawi revolt of October 1988 was led by the Bouihates and the Oulad Dlim.
