Morocco's Foreign Minister Taib Fassi Fihri said that the positions aiming to undermine negotiations process on the Sahara reflect a deliberate political leaning to keep the status quo.
These positions contradict "the legitimate individual and collective aspirations of the Tindouf camps’ inhabitants to end decades of tragedy, dispersion and deprivation of basic human rights including the right to live together in freedom and dignity among their relatives in (Morocco's) southern provinces, getting rid of the legacy of the past and in accordance with the logic of legitimacy and historical realities," said Fassi Fihri during the weekly session of oral questions in the House of Representatives.
He added that these positions are “against the dynamics of a changing world and developments of regional order. There is no room for unilateral thinking. It is not possible to continue muzzling or brainwashing the minds of the current generations.”
Other parties are sticking to their rigid positions, despite the clarity of the UN Security Council resolutions. They continue to introduce unacceptable conditions, as a repository based on obsolete and inapplicable mechanisms and practices contrary to the dominant UN practices, Fassi Fihri said.
Despite all this, he noted, Morocco is set to go ahead in its approach, driven by an indomitable will and an unwavering commitment to cooperate with the UN Secretary General and his Personal Envoy in view to reaching a final political solution to the Sahara dispute, in full respect of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In this regard, he said, "the eighth round of talks scheduled for mid-July, will be an opportunity to discuss the details of the issues identified.”
“The next round will also the opportunity to reflect on the next steps and ways to boost the process, while taking into account strong signals contained in the final resolution of the Security Council and in light of the events taking place in North Africa," he said.
