[Magharebia] The Polisario denied any connection to the al-Qaeda-linked Sahara drug trafficking network recently dismantled in Mauritania and Mali, ANI reported on Thursday (December 23rd). "Everyone knows the names of all the inhabitants of the Sahel-Saharan Africa are similar, whether in Mali, Mauritania, Niger, or the Western Sahara," El Watan quoted Sahrawi Foreign Minister Mohamed Salem Ould Salek as saying Wednesday in Algiers. Ould Salek also denied any connection to al-Qaeda terrorism: "Let it be clear, the Polisario rejects terrorism and heinous crimes". Regarding the progress of Western Sahara talks, the Polisario official said that the Sahrawi people have three choices in the context of self-determination: "independence, autonomy or integration with Morocco", El Moudjahid reported. |
