Morocco rejected the foreign interferences in the domestic affairs of Sahel countries, which do not need a tutor in managing their internal issues. The remark was made by foreign minister Nasser Bourita following talks in Rabat with his Burkinabe peer Karamoko Jean-Marie Traoré. “With their men and skills, Sahel countries are capable of settling their own issues,” Bourita said. Democratic transition is necessary and it is up to the elites of the Sahel countries to find their way through, he said. Morocco’s policy is that of « supporting” instead of “substitution,” he said, noting that Sahel countries are well-placed to solve their own problems.
