The Polisario is a geopolitical sham entity lacking all statehood attributes including historical and demographic aspects, Brazilian O Globo media outlet said. The paper, in an op-ed by Moroccan ambassador to Brazil, shed light on the recent withdrawals by many Latin American states of the so-called SADR republic, a puppet state created by Algeria. “When Morocco raised the Sahara issue within the UN in 1960, the Polisario had no existence back then simply. The Polisario was also created amid post-independent ideological divergences between Morocco and Algeria. Therefore, Morocco supports the principle of self-determination, which should never be used to back separatism and invent a “people” out of the blue.
