The Personal Envoy of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Staffan de Mistura, is due to meet the leader of the Sahrawi separatist militias, Brahim Ghali, in the Tindouf camps on Sunday. His visit is part of a regional tour between the parties to the Sahara conflict.
After a first stage in the Moroccan capital, where he met the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bourita as well as the permanent ambassador of Morocco to the United Nations, Omar Hilale, the Personal Envoy of Antonio Guteress landed on Saturday in southern Algeria to meet the Polisario separatists.
Sunday, it is a meeting with the current leader of the separatist militias, Brahim Ghali, which is planned. Before meeting him, the UN diplomat exchanged with the number 2 of the militias, the head of the secretariat of the political organization of the Polisario, Khatri Addouh.
The latter told the Algerian press agency, APS, that he had called into question the work of the United Nations and previous personal envoys, believing that it would be necessary “to seek a solution based on the reasons for the failure of all the steps and processes undertaken, and the efforts of the personal envoys of the UN SG”.
Staffan de Mistura is in charge of relaunching the political process of the round tables between the 4 parties to the conflict, namely Morocco, Algeria in the first place, as well as Mauritania and the Polisario separatists obeying the Algerian directives.
The Italian-Swedish visit to the separatists will last two days, and upon his arrival on Saturday at Tindouf airport, in Algeria where the separatists are established, the UN representative was taken to task by a group of separatists raising flags of the entity not recognized by the international community, and crying out for independence, in an attempt to make it adhere to their separatist thesis.
Upon his arrival, the UN representative was surrounded by at least a dozen people, and met with separatist representatives from the Smara camps in Algeria, as well as members of the “Consultative Council” and the “National Council” of armed militias. acting on behalf of Algeria.
The separatists scrambled, many, to meet the Personal Envoy and affirm their demands which are far from the current state of the file. And to remind him of their illegal entry and their acts of piracy in El Guerguerat on November 13, 2020, which ended with their announcement of the breaking of the ceasefire.
The separatist party continues to raise the question of the breach of the ceasefire signed in 1991. The separatist representatives insist on the return of the war against Morocco and announce almost daily via their official media organ, having attacked Moroccan positions in South.
