At the UN, Morocco responds firmly to Algerian provocations

In a response letter addressed to the President and members of the Security Council, Omar HilaleAmbassador Permanent Representative of Morocco to the UN, denounced the provocative statement made by the Secretary General of the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lounes Magramane on the Sahara, during the Security Council debate held on Monday, August 12, under the chairmanship of Julius Maada Bio, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone. This correspondence will be published as an official document of the UN body.

“The SG of the Algerian ministry has outrageously disrespected His Excellency the President of Sierra Leone, who wanted, in his capacity as President of the C10 of the African Union, to make the cause of Africa’s representativeness the flagship event of his country’s presidency of the Council. (…) Regrettably, this was without taking into account the slip-up of the Algerian representative, who distinguished himself by being the only one to address the issue of the Moroccan Sahara during this session,” denounced Omar Hilale in his correspondence.
