NEW YORK (United Nations) – The Polisario Front representative to the UN and coordinator with MINURSO, Sidi Mohamed Omar, said on Saturday that the occupying state of Morocco is “the least qualified in the world to talk about human rights because of its political regime based on tyranny”.
“The occupying state of Morocco is the least qualified in the world to talk about human rights because of its political regime based on tyranny and degradation of human dignity,” Sidi Mohamed Omar said in a statement, recalling the mass demonstrations currently taking place in many parts of the kingdom that “testify to the rejection by free Moroccans of decades of oppression, impoverishment and subjugation”.
The Saharawi diplomat also referred to a letter from the Moroccan representative to the UN addressed to the President of the Security Council in which he states that the Council has “welcomed” the work of the Makhzen regime’s “human rights commissions” in the occupied Saharawi territories.
He stated that “the reports of many international organisations confirm that Morocco is a state that does not respect human rights because of its appalling and well-documented record of human rights violations in the occupied Saharawi territories, where Saharawi civilians, activists and human rights defenders are continuously subjected to terror and the most heinous forms of psychological and physical torture”.
The Polisario Front representative underlined that Morocco’s continued illegal military occupation of parts of the territory of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), its continued expansionism, as well as its attempt to “increase” its power by allying itself with external parties, constitute “the real threat to the security and stability of the whole region”.
“Through drugs, Morocco supports terrorism”.
He claimed that the Moroccan representative’s gesture is “a desperate attempt” to divert attention from the letter addressed by SADR President and Polisario Front Secretary General Brahim Ghali to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on the results of the 16th Congress of the Polisario Front, which the Security Council has circulated to its member states as an official document.
“The letter of the representative of the occupying state of Morocco, both in its form and content, is a new example of this person’s obsession with invention, slander and distortion of facts,” he argued, noting that, “as usual, in the absence of evidence to support the series of his false allegations, the representative of the occupying state has once again resorted to ad hominem attacks and accusations in language that runs counter to the basic norms and ethics of diplomacy and tact.”
“The use of fabrication, slander and distortion of facts is also a blatant attempt by the Moroccan representative to divert attention from the scandals that have engulfed Morocco after it was proven with conclusive evidence that it is involved in the use of bribery, corruption and participation in a criminal organisation to influence current and former members of the European Parliament,” he hammered.
According to him, “this is not surprising, because it is an open secret that these are precisely the main tools on which the diplomacy of the occupying state relies to operate”.
On the other hand, the Saharawi diplomat commented on the false accusations of the Moroccan representative that the Polisario Front has links with “terrorist groups”, quoting an article published in a European newspaper whose content is based on the hearsay of an unknown person, pointing out that this shows “the absurdity of the claims of the Moroccan representative”.
“The dissemination of this false propaganda by the Moroccan representative is nothing more than an attempt to hide the well-documented role of the occupying state in supporting terrorism and transnational terrorist groups that rely on Moroccan cannabis and other drugs as the main source of funding for their terrorist operations in the Sahel and Sahara regions,” he said.
