The old proposal for autonomy for Western Sahara
Not an inch. That is the response of the Moroccan kingdom with regard to the entrenchment of the conflict with Western Sahara. As cool as a cucumber, the King Mohamed VI made it clear that the last thing you would do in your life is to grant independence to the neighboring country, and that at best, is willing to grant autonomy.
In a speech to mark the eleventh anniversary of his coronation, Mohammed VI reaffirmed its fanatical and uncompromising position, announcing will continue with advanced regionalization, a policy designed to achieve the annexation of the Sahara. Depending on the version of Rabat, this project is not just a new dynamic of institutional reform that seeks administrative decentralization of the Moroccan state.
However, this old idea launched by his father Hassan in the 80's is just a ruse to realize the autonomy plan proposed by Rabat to the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) as a solution to the conflict. So, the monarch makes a mockery of United Nations and the African Union, that some decisions have defended the holding of a referendum in which the Saharawi people to vote for self-determination.
At the same time, Mohamed VI called on Algeria to abandon its support to the neighboring village, which the king called fancifully, as he tells a tale, "stand opposed to the logic of history, geography and legality. " Many logical that the governor respects Moroccan. As a good son of Hassan II, the driver of the occupation in 1975 with the support of Mauritania, which was subsequently withdrawn, "Mohamed gives back to the United Nations declarations, which state that the Sahara is a territory awaiting decolonization and and highlight the need for a referendum in which these people can vote for independence.
But that is not enough. Rabat holds a perennial drain on natural resources and goes so far as to imprison and torture of independence, or anyone who dares to arouse the king's ornery, to say it's just not a Saharawi citizen of the monarchy. Could fill an ocean with the atrocities committed by Morocco in the past 35 years, but neither the UN or its Security Council have taken other actions to exert effective pressure on the state.
The Moroccan state is intransigent, while Mohamed VI governor intends to stand as an easygoing, flexible, always willing to dialogue. However, before every trade, the regime removed from the case the same proposal: an autonomy for the Sahara, which stubbornly categorized as a southern province.
The real goal is to perpetuate the illegal occupation of the neighboring nation. With its position blocking any possibility to resolve this peacefully historic debt, so as to prevent the outbreak of war and lower the tension in the Maghreb region.
respect, the Saharawi government is worried about the expansionist policy of Morocco, rarefying ending the conflict even more, while it may lead to a violent outcome.
With mongering and noncompliance, begin to heat engines. Recently, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) decided to review its relations with the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), which it accuses of having "reneged on their commitments", while under high fire, Rabat is plundering the natural resources of its neighbor, and trying to impose its occupation by repression.
The MINURSO was established in September 1991 after the cease-fire between Polisario and Morocco, to monitor the ceasefire and to organize self-determination referendum in the territory of the former English colony. Almost 20 years later as usual.
himself SADR Prime Minister, Abdelkader Taleb Omar, said that the Polisario Front assesses the situation of the peace process and UN involvement. "If this does not advance should begin preparations for a return to arms. And in the next Congress, the leadership will be questioned about it (...) "
The endurance has its limits.
