It was only a few hours since the United Nations appointed its new envoy to the veteran Italian desert in the organization Staffan de Mistura, until Algeria was quick to unleash provocative statements aimed at observers to obstruct the work of the Italian envoy.
Algeria, the main supporter of the separatist Polisario Front, announced, on Thursday, through the spokesperson for its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that it "recorded with interest" the appointment of De Mistura, and called for the withdrawal of the forces that Morocco published at the end of the past year in the Karakarat region after the separatist group has cut the only road leading toMauritania.
These statements were considered by Moroccan observers interested in the file of this fabricated conflict seeking to obstruct the work of the new UN envoy to the Sahara.
In this regard, Abdel -Fattah Al -Fatehi, a researcher in desert affairs, explained that Algeria, with the statements of its Foreign Minister, aims that "the work of the new personal envoy to the desert with the artificial conditions of disruption to launch negotiations to find a quick policy settlement for the desert conflict.".
The Moroccan specialist, in his statement to the electronic newspaper Hespress, stressed that these statements and this intensity "confirm the centrality of the Algerian role in the conflict;This calls her to directly a direct dialogue with the Kingdom of Morocco without covering up behind the front..
The same spokesman stated that the separatist "Polisario" front had previously violated, with the encouragement of Algeria, the ceasefire supervised by the United Nations;This makes it in an illegal confrontation with the international community and the decisions of the UN Security Council, which stresses the need to support the political process of the United Nations instead of returning to carrying weapons.
Al -Fatehi stressed that the eastern neighbor of the Kingdom "contradicts its positions;On the one hand, it claims to support the political process, and on the other hand, it encourages the Polisario to carry out sabotage military actions in the region after it violated the military ceasefire agreement..
The Moroccan researcher in desert affairs pointed out that "the Karakrat area was a believer international trade, and it was not among what Algeria claimed as part of the buffer zone or what the Polisario was considered" liberated lands ".Therefore, the issue of protecting and securing this corridor, for security considerations, is required by the international community..
Abdel -Fattah El -Fattahi stressed that the process of securing the armed forces of this crossing "was" widely welcomed by;Rather, the United Nations concerned with the dispute in the desert did not condemn or condemn the process that led to the securing of the Karakarat crossing..
In turn, Nawfal Omari, a specialist in desert affairs, believes that the Algerian Foreign Ministry’s statements are an affirmation of being concerned with the dispute in the desert, and it behaves in the region and in the relationship of the file on this basis based on its vital interests in the continuation of the conflict and its agitation and the agitation of the region as a whole.
On the political point of view, the Moroccan researcher believes that this statement is meaningless, given that the United Nations, through the report of the Secretary -General that he presented in the Security Council “did not condemn the security operation carried out by the Moroccan army in the Karakarat, nor did he demand Morocco to withdraw its forces from there;This is for the awareness of the Secretary -General of the role that Morocco plays in securing this region of militias and terrorist and criminal elements, which were pushing the Algerian state to concentrate there in order to threaten the stability of the region..
In his statement to the newspaper, Bamri added that the Security Council has a relationship with the conflict.Therefore, the aforementioned council "the owner of the state to determine the positions it deems appropriate and announce, and not the Algerian state that is still looking for any exit to compensate for its political defeats in the region".
