Colombian senators underlined the “great socio-economic development” and the security and tranquility prevailing in the southern provinces, and criticized the recognition by the current government in Bogota of the so-called SADR, an entity that “does not exist”. This came in a statement signed by three senators, “legitimate representatives of the Colombian people”, who have just visited the southern provinces. The three signatories of the statement, which was published on the Senate’s official website, are German Blanco Alvarez, President of the Colombia-Morocco Friendship Group in the Colombian Senate, and Paola Holguin Moreno and José Luis Pérez Oyuela, members of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Similarly, “almost 40% of African countries have opened consulates there, expressing their firm support for Morocco’s sovereignty and unity,” they said. The Colombian senators added: “This visit has further confirmed what we have been expressing to all our country’s authorities.
