'Tangier Call': Polisario exclusion from AU process is initiated (African Media)

The process of exclusion of the pseudo “sadr” from the African Union “is initiated”, said the portal “Africa24”, noting that the “White Paper” prepared by the signatories of the “Tangier Call” is the roadmap of the process of exclusion of this chimerical republic of the AU bodies.

The media recalled, in this regard, that the former Prime Ministers and Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Africa, signatories of the “Tangier Call” were received on January 30 by Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, to whom they handed the “White Paper” “which initiates the process of exclusion” of this puppet entity, supported by more than 30 African States.

“We have a very serious problem with the sadr issue. It is not based on law, because as far as other liberation movements in Africa are concerned, whether it is South Sudan or South Africa, Zimbabwe or Mozambique, these countries were never recognized as members of the African state before they became independent. There must therefore be a legal way to ensure that a state becomes a member of the African Union,” the portal wrote, citing the words of Raphael Tuju, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kenya.

“The elaboration of the White Paper of the Tangier call according to the signatories aims to strengthen cohesion and equity within the African Union by allowing through the act of expulsion of the sadr to resolve on a diplomatic and pragmatic level the situation in the Sahara region,” noted the same source.

“We are all aware of the dynamism of Moroccan diplomacy, this White Paper will be forwarded primarily to heads of state and decision-makers for their consideration so that this process that has been initiated can be explained to all those who had to be,” said the media, quoting Jean Marie Ehouzou, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Benin.

The “White Paper” adopted unanimously by former prime ministers and former African ministers, during the first follow-up meeting of the “Tangier Call” in Marrakech on Saturday, January 28, recognizes that the presence of the “sadr” in the AU is an obstacle to African integration, the African media said.
