Morocco Denies Algerian Claims of Armed Conflict with Polisario Front

"There is no military war in the buffer zone, all there is are mercenaries and infiltrators who cause disturbances and then flee to Algeria," Omar Hilale said on Thursday. To support his statement, the Moroccan diplomat said that the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, did not mention a possible conflict between Morocco and the Polisario in his report on the Sahara, presented on Thursday before the Security Council session.

While Morocco and all the member states of the Security Council are working to find a peaceful and realistic solution to the Sahara conflict, Algeria is trying to create the conflict by providing military and political support to the Polisario, denounced the representative of Morocco to the UN, reaffirming the Moroccanness of the Sahara.

According to the Moroccan ambassador, the recent visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Morocco is further proof that Morocco is a safe country, not to mention the opening of 30 consulates in the southern provinces of the kingdom and the ongoing royal projects in the region.
