Benkirane urges Polisario leaders to return to Morocco before it's too late
During the seventh regional conference of the Justice and Development Party (PJD) in the Souss-Massa region, the party's Secretary-General, Abdelilah Benkirane, addressed the Polisario issue in part of his speech. Speaking at the event held Saturday in Agadir, Benkirane stated: «I want to open a parenthesis about the Polisario. We have a clear vision when it comes to the Sahara. The leaders of the Polisario studied with Abdellah Baha in the same classroom, including Mustafa Sayyid. They are a group of Moroccans». Benkirane explained that, at the time, «they were aligned with the Marxist movement that wanted to launch a revolution in Morocco. They approached some Moroccan officials to seek support for what they called the 'liberation of the Sahara,' which was rejected. After that, they turned to Gaddafi, who picked them up and handed them over to Algeria». «I want to tell them: we don't see you as mercenaries. You were originally Moroccans who opposed the regime. You weren't the only ones, others like you existed. Yes, you kidnapped people and committed many wrongs against your own people and your country. Yet, the late King Hassan II told you that 'the homeland is forgiving and merciful.' Now, 50 years have passed, and your ideology has led nowhere. It won't lead anywhere, because the truth is not on your side». Benkirane went on to say, «Algeria is using you for its own interests. And I'm talking about the Algerian regime—not the Algerian people. The people don't want you». He then called on the leaders of the Polisario to return to Morocco «before it's too late», adding, «Do not dream of more than autonomy». He also addressed the support of Hezbollah and Iran for the Polisario Front, reaffirming that his party firmly stands with Morocco on this issue. At the same time, he criticized what he described as Iran's ambitions to «dominate the Islamic world», while noting that his party supports Iran in its war against Israel.

Azerbaijan Says Support Morocco's Sovereignty Over Western Sahara is Matter of Principle, Not Diplomatic Favor
In a climate of growing instability across the globe, Morocco and Azerbaijan have taken deliberate steps to reinforce their partnership. During a visit by Moroccan journalists to Baku, Azerbaijani Presidential Advisor and Head of Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, Hikmet Hajiyev, reaffirmed his country's steadfast support for Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara. Hajiyev also described the two countries as bound by mutual respect, shared values, and historical parallels. A partnership rooted in principle Speaking to the visiting Moroccan media delegation, which Morocco World News (MWN) was part of, Hajiyev described Morocco as a 'brotherly country' and commended the strength of bilateral ties. 'We have excellent relations across all sectors. The only issue is the geographic distance,' he said. For Azerbaijan, he added, Islamic solidarity and cooperation with Arab countries remain core pillars of foreign policy. 'We share many similarities with Morocco,' he noted, describing the North African country as a key partner in both the Arab and Islamic worlds. Hajiyev recalled the early roots of the diplomatic relationship, pointing to a historic meeting between Azerbaijan's former leader, Heydar Aliyev, and Morocco's King Hassan II during a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Casablanca. 'That visit laid the foundation of our ties, not only with Morocco but also with the Arab and Muslim world,' he said. A shared struggle for recognized sovereignty In response to a direct question about Azerbaijan's stance on Western Sahara, Hajiyev offered a firm response: 'We have always supported Morocco's sovereignty and territorial integrity.' He drew a connection between Morocco's position in the Western Sahara and Azerbaijan's own experience with Armenia. 'When we gained independence, Armenia occupied 20% of our territory, including Karabakh,' he said. 'We trusted international law, waited for thirty years, and upheld the UN resolutions. But in the end, we had to act to restore our sovereignty.' After retaking full control of Karabakh in 2023, Azerbaijan, Hajiyev explained, gained clarity on what it means to have sovereignty denied. 'Because we suffered the consequences of occupation, we place enormous value on the territorial integrity of other states. Our position on Morocco's territorial integrity is not diplomatic courtesy, it is a question of principle.' Building on cultural affinity The Moroccan delegation's visit to the National Museum of Literature in Baku included a special exhibition on Azerbaijani journalism, which provided a window into the country's intellectual history. But for Hajiyev, the cultural bond goes far beyond exhibitions. He described a visit by a Moroccan royal who was surprised by the resemblance between traditional Moroccan and Azerbaijani designs. 'He noticed that our ornaments and patterns mirror Moroccan motifs,' Hajiyev said. 'It showed that our cultures have long been in quiet conversation, even without knowing it.' He also pointed to Morocco's hosting of ISESCO, the Islamic world's educational and cultural institution, as a symbol of its standing. 'Morocco is one of the cultural centers of the Muslim world, and we give that special importance,' he said. Azerbaijan, he added, plans to promote further exchanges in heritage, language, and the arts. 'We must make the cultures of both countries better known to each other,' he said. 'Your cuisine, your clothing, your traditions are already familiar here. We want to take this further.' Religious tolerance, intercultural dialogue Hajiyev emphasized the value of tolerance that the two countries share.'In Morocco, Christians, Jews, and Muslims live together in peace. We see the same reality in Azerbaijan,' he said. This, he argued, gives both countries the credibility to speak globally on matters of coexistence. 'There's not only a need for dialogue between civilizations. There's a need for dialogue within them. The divisions in the Muslim world today are growing,' he said. 'Together, we can help change that.' Economic and tourism potential While acknowledging the solid foundation of political cooperation, Hajiyev described economic ties between the two countries as underdeveloped. 'There's great potential for growth in trade, investment, and tourism,' he said. 'Morocco is known internationally as a tourism hub. Azerbaijanis are increasingly drawn to it.' He noted a rising interest in Azerbaijan among Moroccan citizens, reflected in online conversations and social media engagement. 'But awareness is still low,' he admitted. 'That's why visits like yours are essential. You help inform people about what's possible.' Hajiyev recounted his visit to Morocco over a decade ago. 'Friends tell me the country has changed a lot since then. I look forward to seeing that with my own eyes,' he said. Regional stability amid global turbulence Despite the current international turmoil, from the wars in Ukraine and Gaza to tensions between Iran and Israel, Hajiyev said Azerbaijan remains a zone of stability. 'The conflict with Armenia is over. We control our territory, and we live in peace thanks to the wisdom of our leaders,' he said. 'We understand instability. It's all around us. But we also believe in sovereignty, in diplomacy, and cooperation.' This belief, he concluded, drives Azerbaijan's position on Western Sahara, and why it stands as a beacon of support for Rabat's territorial integrity and sovereignty over its southern provinces. 'We know what it means to have your land taken. That's why we defend Morocco's right to its territory, clearly, without hesitation, and condition.' Tags: azerbaijanbilateral tiesMoroccoWestern sahara

John Bolton's plan to reverse Trump's Western Sahara decision with business incentives
John Bolton is proposing a strategy to Algeria and the Polisario aimed at persuading former U.S. President Donald Trump to reverse his recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, a decision officially made on December 10, 2020. According to Bolton, securing Trump's support for organizing a referendum on the territory would require giving him a «motivation», as he recently explained in an interview with a Spanish media outlet. Referring to Trump's once-ambitious—and since abandoned—plan to turn Gaza into the «French Riviera of the Middle East», Bolton suggested to the Polisario and Algerian authorities that «Western Sahara has a vast Atlantic coastline. I can envision hotel complexes and casinos». He went on to say, «If Trump is convinced that his Trump Corporation could win a concession in the region to develop hotel resorts, it might catch his interest and lead him to support a referendum». For context, back in 2002, Bachir Mustapha Sayed proposed offering the United States a military base in the Sahara in exchange for recognition of the so-called «SADR», once the conflict had been resolved in the Polisario's favor. The move resulted in his prolonged marginalization. Today, the idea of incentivizing Trump to shift his position on the Sahara appears to be gaining traction in Algeria. Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui's government recently introduced a bill in Parliament allowing foreign investors to hold up to 80% of the capital in untapped hydrocarbon and mining projects, thereby reducing the share of state-owned enterprises to just 20%. Meanwhile, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune hosted delegations from American oil giants Chevron and ExxonMobil on June 23 and 24.
