Speaking at a meeting of the Commission responsible for the administrative and budgetary matters, during the discussion of the MINURSO budget, the Moroccan representative to the Committee, Mr. Noureddine Sadouk, also regretted that the report did not mention these vandalism acts committed by members of the UN mission.
Peacekeepers belonging to MINURSO had deteriorated an archaeological site in the Sahara, by drawing graffiti on rocks containing engravings representing animals and humans.
This act was strongly condemned by Morocco while UNESCO had announced that the kingdom would send a commission of experts in coordination with Moroccan authorities in order to restore the sites.
