The union of inventors announced canceling a flight and participation in the world cup summit of inventions and scientific research to take place in Tunis next week.
The withdrawal follows the reception of the head of Polisario by President Kais Saied.
The Union called this act unprecedented and unacceptable and “an irresponsible change in the historical relations between Morocco and Tunisia.”
In addition, the Union announced freezing a collaboration agreement with the Tunisian union of inventors until further notice.
“We support all the diplomatic decisions of our country” stated the union before announcing that all the activities and meetings that were supposed to take place in Tunis are to be moved to Marrakech at the headquarters of the union.
In an already divided Maghreb, Tunisian President Kaïs Saïed has deeply offended decades of Moroccan-Tunisian history by unilaterally inviting Brahim Ghali, leader of Polisario to the Japan-Africa Cooperation Forum (TICAD).
By his “hostile and reckless” act, Kaïs Saïd has just broken a doctrine that all his predecessors respected, from Zine-el-Abidine Ben Ali to former elected presidents, who made sure to maintain the Tunisian tradition of good relationships due to Morocco’s unwavering support for the Republic and its people over the years.
