Post New report on the Polisario.

New report from ESISC (European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre) entitled THE POLISARIO FRONT - CREDIBLE NEGOTIATIONS PARTNER OR AFTER-EFFECT OF THE COLDWAR AND OBSTACLE TO A POLITICAL SOLUTION IN WESTERN SAHARA?

report link - in pdf


RECOMMENDATIONS
► Concerning the status of Western Sahara
1) The international community and the UN should have the courage and the
lucidity to recognize that the independence solution is not viable and is, in any case, impossible, given the ferocious opposition of one of the parties. They should therefore impel the parties involved to take the path of a negotiated political solution, possibly supervised by the international community.
2) Algeria should refrain from interfering in a problem that concerns Morocco
and the Saharawi population, and in which it is not a stakeholder
3) The States that have recognized the SADR should realize that this entity, with no real existence or future, is more of an obstacle to any political solution than a genuine emerging State.
4) The United States should use its regional influence to support a negotiated
solution and to give to each party - including, if necessary, Algeria –
guarantees that their fundamental interests would be respected.

Bear with the report. Some of it is credible but some of it is faintly ridiculous. See this extract for laughable - Today, the way the Polisario is evolving is giving rise to new fears: those of seeing some of its combatants and leaders turn to terrorism, radical Islamism or international crime. This development would threaten the stability of the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa and therefore the security of several African states and, in the long run, of Europe as well.




This is as likely as M6 appearing naked on X Factor.
