Morocco has recalled its ambassador to Saudi Arabia for consultations in protest seemingly over a documentary in Saudi channel Al Arabiya showing support for the separatist thesis in the Sahara, le360 reported. The recall of the ambassador is the culmination of a series of provocations by Saudi Arabia since the rise to power of Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. Up to now, neither the Moroccan nor the Saudi foreign ministries have commented on the diplomatic tensions. Since Mohammad Bin Salman rose to power in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh has created more enemies than friends and has even undermined longstanding relations with former allies. His reckless foreign policy led to Yemen war, severing ties with Qatar and Canada to mention but a few.
