The recent visit of French Ambassador Christophe Le Courtière to the occupied city of Laayoune highlights a half-century of France's unwavering support for Morocco's expansionist policies in Western Sahara. Since the onset of Morocco's invasion of the territory, France has consistently provided various forms of backing to Morocco, often leveraging its position on the United Nations Security Council to favor Moroccan interests. This visit by the French ambassador to the occupied areas serves as a clear endorsement of the Alawi monarchy, reinforcing the perception of France as a staunch ally of Moroccan endeavors in the region.
The POLISARIO Front has not shied away from voicing its dissent regarding this diplomatic engagement. In a statement released today by the Sahrawi Foreign Ministry, the Front strongly condemned this latest attempt to impose fait accompli in Western Sahara. They argue that such actions represent a betrayal of France's responsibilities as a member of the United Nations Security Council, undermining its role in safeguarding international peace and security.
With the backing and approval of France, Morocco continues to operate with impunity, persisting in its colonial practices and attempts to enforce its policies through coercion in the occupied territory of Western Sahara. This situation remains a significant point of contention in international relations and raises serious questions about the effectiveness of global governance in addressing issues of occupation and self-determination.
