More European, Latin American, and African countries have joined the scores of states from these continents which expressed support to Morocco following the Moroccan army’s peaceful action carried out Nov.13 to secure the free movement of people and goods at the Guerguarat crossing, on the border between Morocco and Mauritania. In Africa, Burkina Faso has reiterated its support for the territorial integrity of Morocco, while expressing its solidarity with the Moroccan people. Malawi “fully supports free movement of goods and people in that important border crossing,” Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued Monday. Global powers and regional actors such as France, Russia and Turkey welcomed the resumption of traffic between Morocco and sub-Saharan countries and urged a lasting political solution to the Sahara regional conflict. Several African, Arab and Latin American countries have also supported Morocco’s legitimate action against the mercenaries and highway bandits that pose a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
