Death of Mohamed Abdelaziz Does Not Impact Moroccan Sahara Issue, Moroccan Official Source

PERSISMA – The death of Mohamed Abdelaziz is not an event from a political point of view and does not impact the Moroccan Sahara issue, a Moroccan official source told MAP.

“Morocco took note of the passing of Mohamed Abdelaziz. As in any other death, it is regrettable mainly for family and relatives. However, it is not an event from a political point of view and does not impact the Moroccan Sahara issue,” said the same source in a statement.

“The deceased, like the separatist movement to which he belonged, was a mere extra and not an actor in the issue, which was and remains managed from elsewhere,” it added.
