Morocco has strongly condemned the recent provocative actions carried out by the Polisario in the locality of Tifariti, to the east of the Moroccan defense berm, reiterating its unwavering determination to defend its territorial integrity and its national unity throughout the country. António Guterres insists that “No action should be taken, which may constitute a change to the status quo,” Dujarric pointed out. The statement added that Morocco asks the United Nations, and more particularly MINURSO, to fulfill its mandate in the face of the repeated violations of the ceasefire. Morocco regrets that this escalation unfolds with the blessing and complicity of a neighboring country. By the way, Morocco has officially requested the UN authorities concerned to launch an international inquiry to shed light on the situation in these camps.
