Khalihenna: Polisario always tries to get talks back

Morocco remains committed to the negotiations process underway with the Algerian-backed separatist movement Polisario, but remains fully intransigent over its territorial integrity, members of the Moroccan delegation to the UN-facilitated negotiations on the Sahara said here late at night.




 

Morocco on Monday made it clear that the 32-year old Sahara dispute with the Polisario separatist movement will not be resolved without Algeria's "active involvement" in the UN-led peace process.

 Minister of the Interior Chakib Benmoussa on Saturday said Morocco continues to extend its hand to the other party (the Polisario separatists) to reach together a solution to the Sahara dispute in the framework of the North African country's proposed autonomy to this territory.
