Jaf wrote that the Algerian diplomacy had officially reacted to the events at the UN by regretting the non-renewal of MINURSO. He contrasted this position with the king's statement, which, according to him, had welcomed it, and described the situation as a historical victory for Morocco over Algeria. https://t.co/qr5zzCA8mw #Diplomatie #ONU #Algerie (translated)

Jaf relayed a statement in which King Mohammed VI expressed satisfaction with the announced end of MINURSO after 35 years and mentioned the final days of the mission in the southern provinces. The text estimated that the non-renewal of the mission would put an end to the periodic examination of the file by the UN Security Council, as well as the reports of the Secretary-General and the briefings of his personal envoy. The statement also asserted that the UN political process was suspended and that similar steps would be taken in other UN bodies. It indicated that Morocco remained committed to the ceasefire and claimed that more than two-thirds of UN members supported autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as a framework for resolving the dispute. Jaf welcomed the announcement and expressed support for the king and Moroccan Sahara. #Maroc #Sahara #Histoire (translated)
