 Contrary to the wishes of Algeria, which mobilized its links and its official and unofficial press, the Security Council has, according to diplomatic sources at the UN, ignored its agitations over the opening of Consulates General in the Sahara Moroccan, thus considering that these are acts of sovereignty in accordance with international law and strictly within the framework of bilateral relations between Morocco and its African partners.
This took place during the videoconference meeting of the Security Council on Thursday, for a briefing by the United Nations Secretariat on the question of the Moroccan Sahara, as provided for in resolution 2494, adopted on October 30, 2019.
As a reminder, Algeria was the only state among the 193 states that treacted to the opening of the Consulate General of the Union of the Comoros in Laayoune, through an aggressive press release, and to the the Consulate General of Côte d'Ivoire in the same city, recalling its Ambassador to Abidjan.
The disdain of the Security Council, which remains the sole legitimate guarantor of the maintenance of international peace and security, is eloquent since the cascade of Algerian press releases has always been based on international law.
In so doing, the UN executive body, the ultimate depositary of international legality, demonstrates the shaky character and the emptiness of Algeria's arguments.
In addition to the ten African countries that have opened Consulates General in the Moroccan Sahara, countries in other regions of the world have announced their intention to open consular posts in the region soon, indifferent to the posturing of Algeria.
Algeria's relentlessness over the issue of the opening of the Consulates General proves once again that Algeria is the main party to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, as Morocco has always demonstrated with lucidity.
