Algeria wants to share the Moroccan Sahara

Omar Hilale, Morocco’s permanent representative to the UN, affirmed that Staffan de Mistura’s proposal to divide the Sahara to end the conflict came from Algeria.

Omar Hilale attributes the political authorship of this proposal to share the Sahara to Algeria. “Neither the former personal envoy, James Baker, nor the current one, Staffan de Mistura, were the originators of this idea of ​​partition. They were only messengers from Algeria,” declared the Moroccan diplomat during a press briefing held following the adoption by the Security Council of the resolution on the Sahara.
