| Algeria summons Morocco envoy over Iran claims |
| 2018-05-04 |
| [PRESSTV] Algeria has summoned Morocco’s ambassador over allegations that its embassy in Rabat was involved in alleged Iranian support for a West Saharan separatist movement. "Morocco’s ambassador has been received today by the Secretary General at the foreign ministry who rejected the unfounded remarks," ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. A day earlier, Morocco cut its diplomatic ties with Tehran, claiming that the Iranian Embassy ...You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy!... in Rabat would lend support to the Western Sahara Polisario separatist myrmidons. Morocco annexed Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, in 1975, and since then the territory has been the subject of a dispute between Rabat and the Polisario Front. The movement, which aims to end Morocco’s presence in the Saharan region, recently said they sought to set up a "capital" in the region, prompting Rabat to caution it would respond with force. |
