On his Facebook page, the Sahrawi activist opposed to the Polisario Front, Saïd Zeroual, reported remarks that the representative of the independence movement to the United Nations, Mohamed Amar, allegedly made during a conference organized by the “Sahrawi Ministry of Foreign Affairs”. According to Zeroual, he declared that “it is not possible to end the ceasefire and that Morocco has recovered 40 kilometers of new Sahrawi territories liberated after November 13, 2020. These statements corroborate the information making state of “demoralization” within the Polisario in the face of the diplomatic and military defeats it suffered.

Morocco launched a military operation on November 13, 2020 in the buffer zone of Guerguerat, near Mauritania, denouncing “the Polisario provocations” in the Sahara. Around 200 truckers had been blocked by the Polisario for three weeks at the Guerguerat border post. The Royal Armed Forces had succeeded in putting an end to the blockage and restoring free civil and commercial movement on the road leading to Mauritania. Since then, strong tensions have persisted in the Sahara.

“The peace process in the Sahara is suffering from total paralysis due to the position of Morocco and the positions of certain influential actors within the Security Council,” declared the “Polisario representative to the United Nations” during this meeting, referring to France and the United States. According to him, Morocco refuses to move towards a solution. The Polisario clings to the idea of self-determination. A position reaffirmed by Amar. Except that Morocco, which has been defending a Sahara autonomy plan under its sovereignty since 2007, receives the support of several countries including the United States, Germany, Israel, Spain and recently France.
