On Saturday, the Polisario Front commented on the US recommendation of self-government right to Sahara after the American recognition of Morocco's sovereignty of the region.
On the other hand, the Polisario still rejects this suggestion without calling for a poll, Polisario Front's leader advisor Nana Labat Rachid expressed to Sputnik.
She added that Morocco offered the same solution years ago but it was rejected for various reasons, asserting that Morocco is seeking to impose its regulations over the Saharan people, however, people should have the right to choose and decide.
Furthermore, the Trump administration's suggestion doesn't mean imposing it according to the advisor, underscoring the necessity of giving the Saharan people the right to self-determination.
Last November, Trump recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara after a number of tensions were sparked between the Moroccan army and the Polisario.
The President of the Polisario Front issued a decree announcing the end of the commitment to the ceasefire signed between the Polisario Front and Morocco in 1991.
On 13 November, the “Polisario” Front said that “the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army launched intense attacks on Moroccan army bases in the Al Mahbas, Hawza, Awsard sectors and Persian, resulting in losses.”
Therefore, Morocco announced that it had launched a military operation in the disputed buffer zone in Guerguerat in Western Sahara, to expel the Polisario militia from the region.
The Moroccan army confirmed that the crossing in the south of the kingdom has become fully secure, while the “Polisario” front responded, considering it that the operation ended the cease-fire between the two sides in place for 30 years, and that “the war has begun.”
