The UN rejects the "terrorist" label demanded by some American elected officials for the Polisario Front

During his daily press briefing, the Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, was questioned about an ongoing initiative in the US Congress. Elected officials are indeed trying to pass a motion to label the Polisario Front as a terrorist organization. When asked whether this maneuver risked derailing the quadripartite negotiations led under the auspices of Washington, the UN representative gave an unequivocal response.

"As you know, the UN considers the Polisario Front as one of the key parties involved in the Western Sahara conflict," said Farhan Haq. He then confirmed that the international organization would maintain its exchanges with the independence movement, just as it does with the other regional actors involved in this complex issue.

The Deputy Spokesperson thus emphasized that the UN will continue to deal with the Polisario Front "as we do with the governments of Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and other involved regional parties." This statement reaffirms the United Nations’ willingness to maintain an inclusive dialogue with all stakeholders, regardless of the political pressures exerted by certain American elected officials.
