General Mohammed Berrid, Inspector General of the Royal Armed Forces, met with Brigadier General Mohamed Fakher Al Ihsan, the military head of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), in Agadir on Tuesday to discuss security developments in the region.
The meeting, held at the headquarters of the Southern Zone Command, is part of routine consultations between Morocco’s military and the UN peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara.
The two officials focused on recent security concerns, particularly a terrorist attack on a civilian gathering in the Mahbas region during celebrations marking the 49th anniversary of the Green March. The attack was attributed to militias, and it highlighted the need for continued cooperation between the Royal Armed Forces and MINURSO to address regional security challenges.
According to reports, both sides praised the level of coordination and reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the region. They also discussed strategies to confront shared threats, including efforts to protect civilians and prevent further violations of the 1991 ceasefire agreement.
The meeting came amid growing tensions, with Morocco voicing its concerns over the Polisario Front’s ongoing breaches of the ceasefire and its recent actions in defiance of a UN Security Council resolution urging an end to these provocations. The meeting is seen as a reaffirmation of Morocco’s stance on the need for the UN to take more responsibility in resolving the conflict over Western Sahara.
