U.S. senior Presidential advisor Massad Boulos has said that Washington will open a US consulate in the Moroccan Saharan city of Dakhla, a diplomatic move confirming American recognition of the Moroccanness of the Sahara.
In an interview broadcast Thursday by Al Sharq TV Channel, Mr. Boulos commended the “historic and crystal-clear” speech made by King Mohammed VI during latest Throne Day, highlighting the fraternal relationship with the Algerian people and state.
He also described the royal speech as “a historical statement”, voicing Morocco’s readiness to finding a consensual and lasting solution to the five-decade Sahara conflict. Boulos remarks come two weeks ahead of the UN Security Council meeting scheduled on the Sahara.
He also cited his latest visit to Algeria and meeting with President Abdelmajid Tebboune, saying the Algerians say they want lasting resolution of the Sahara issue and normalization of relations with neighboring Morocco.
His statement exposes the hypocrisy and misleading rhetoric of the Algerian rulers. Behind the scene, they seek normalization of relations with Rabat, but in front of their public opinion, they maintain anti-Moroccan propaganda and adherence to positions defying even Washington’s supportive stand of Morocco’s territorial integrity.
