In a notable statement, Samira Sitail, the Kingdom of Morocco’s Ambassador to the French Republic, commented on Algeria’s decision to withdraw its ambassador from Paris in response to France’s recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara.
In an interview with the French news channel “C News,” the Moroccan ambassador responded to a question about her opinion on the Algerian move by posing a counter-question: “Why didn’t Algeria cut its diplomatic relations with the United States or withdraw its ambassador from Washington when America recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces?”
This statement comes in the context of escalating diplomatic tensions between Algeria and France over the French position supporting Morocco in the Sahara issue. The Moroccan ambassador’s response has raised questions about the Algerian stance and whether it is consistent in dealing with international positions on the Sahara issue.
It is worth noting that the United States recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara in December 2020, a move that Morocco considered a major diplomatic victory, while angering Algeria, which supports the Polisario Front.
The Moroccan ambassador’s statement is expected to spark further debate about Moroccan-Algerian relations and the French position on the Sahara issue, amid continuing diplomatic tensions in the region.
