Venezuela will reconsider in all likelihood its recognition of the Polisario separatist group under the administration of interim President Juan Guaido. Juan Guaido expressed this willingness at the first phone talk he had Tuesday with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. “Venezuela will reconsider its recognition of the Sahrawi Republic under the government of Guaido,” Avendano told MAP correspondent in Caracas. Last year, Paraguay expressed support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative as a lasting political solution to the regional dispute over the southern provinces. Paraguay’s support comes in a series of similar stands expressed by other Latin American states, including Uruguay and Peru.
