The intervention of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) to clear the El Guerguarat crossing that links Morocco to Mauritania and which was blocked by polisario militias, received “broad international support,” wrote Spanish magazine “Atalayar”.
According to the publication, Morocco managed to obtain broad support for its intervention to free the El Guerguarat border crossing, which was targeted by armed polisario separatists.
This operation, which restored civil and commercial traffic in this crossing that has been closed for weeks by the polisario, was supported by several MEPs and eminent European political figures, “Atalayar” underlined.
In this sense, the publication recalled that an appeal was launched to the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, to support Morocco in its efforts to ensure the free flow of goods and people in the demilitarized zone of El Guerguarat.
These figures “expressed their concern about the rise in tensions after the violation of the demilitarized zone by the polisario armed militia, Atalayar added.
They also welcomed “the establishment of a security cordon by Morocco allowing the reopening of the border post of El Guerguarat, the only crossing point between Europe, Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa where more than 4 million tons of goods transit annually — a vital economic lifeline for the region, and a strategic link between Europe, Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa,” the publication concluded.
