Polisario Front Escalates Attacks on Moroccan Positions in Western Sahara

In a recent report, the Polisario claims to have destroyed a Moroccan base in Guelta, in the Mahbes region, causing the death of 30 soldiers, reports Atalayar, stressing that the separatist movement is aware that it cannot win a possible "war" against Morocco. All it is trying to do is provoke Morocco and incite it to retaliate against its attacks in order to then present itself to the international community as a "victim of the occupation".

In recent months, the Moroccan army has carried out several drone attacks against Polisario militiamen, one of which allegedly killed the chief of the Sahrawi gendarmerie, Addah el Bendir, last April.

For its part, Morocco believes that at this summit, only African countries individually recognized by Brussels are invited, thus ruling out the hypothesis of the presence of the leader of the Polisario Front at this meeting.

Meanwhile, Morocco is still awaiting Spain’s position on the conflict in the Sahara. The kingdom hopes that as a member of the Group of Friends of the Sahara, alongside the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and France, Spain will be able to reconsider its position and take an important step towards the normalization of relations with Morocco.
