A closed session of the Polisario, organized on January 3 and 4 in the Tindouf camps with its “international emissaries”, whose exchanges were to remain “confidential”, saw the emergence of embarrassing truths for the Polisario, shaking the political tranquility of Brahim Ghali . The youth are rebelling, the UN is breaking away, while the kilometers melt like snow in the Saharan sun.
Just a week after these well-kept meetings (or almost), a young rebel from the Front, clearly not in Brahim Ghali’s good books, took a sudden desire to act as the revealer of truths that would have been whispered on the occasion of this great meeting behind closed doors.
Said Zarwal, a young Sahrawi journalist based in Sweden, decided to break the ambient noise by revealing some “pearls” from the statements of Mohamed Amar, the Polisario representative in New York. The latter admitted that since November 13, 2020, the date on which the Polisario decided to leave the 1991 ceasefire agreement like one abandons an old coat that is too worn, the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) have seized 40 km from the “territories liberated from the ghostly Republic”.
Remember that in June 2022, the former coordinator of the Polisario armed militias, Mohamed Ibrahim Biadillah, had already sounded the alarm on this military expansion, describing these areas east of the Wall of Sands as at risk of transforming gradually into a “safety belt for Morocco”.
Amar also highlighted the fact that the United States has never really been a fan of the idea of an “independent state in Western Sahara”. And to top it all off, the New York representative declares that the balance of power within the UN leans against the Polisario, with a special mention for France. The separatist militia thus finds itself dancing alone on a track where guests seem to be rare, particularly with the continued growth of states recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara.
