Guyana Withdraws Support for Western Sahara Independence, Backing UN Peace Process

"The Government of Guyana will no longer recognize" the "SADR", writes the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Guyana, Mr. Hugh Hilton Todd in correspondence addressed to Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad. Guyana "will lend its full support to the United Nations’ efforts to find a peaceful and mutually acceptable solution," added the Guyanese minister.

Thanks to the impetus given by King Mohammed VI, the international dynamic of support for the Moroccanness of the Sahara continues, to the measure of the erosion of the recognitions of this "Republic", notes the same source, stressing that 164 countries in the world do not recognize the "SADR".

Since 2010, 13 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have withdrawn their recognition of the SADR. Guyana has now joined this list.
