Sahara: Peruvian Congress Exhorts Government to Support Morocco, Warns of Polisario Terrorist Threats
Doha – The Peruvian Congress has forcefully demanded its government to back Morocco's complete sovereignty over the Sahara, while exposing the dangerous terrorist connections and criminal operations of the Polisario Front – a puppet organization manipulated by the Algerian regime.
In a motion adopted by an overwhelming majority on Monday, the Peruvian legislative body commanded the executive branch to 'adopt a position of support to the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over the Western Sahara,' as stated in the text presented by Congresswoman Carmen Patricia Juarez Gallegos, First Vice-President of the Congress.
The motion hailed ties with Rabat since 1964 and declared Morocco's autonomy proposal as a 'serious solution in conformity with international law.'
Peruvian lawmakers asserted that Morocco's 2007 initiative 'has received the support of numerous countries, among which the United States of America, the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of France, which have recognized said proposal as the most realistic and viable basis for a lasting solution to the conflict.'
The Congress blasted the Polisario Front for its treacherous alliances with terrorist networks. The motion exposes to the international community 'the Polisario's links with terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, as well as with networks trafficking arms and persons, and the exploitation of minors in the Tindouf camps.' It demands international bodies to 'investigate these crimes and sanction them.'
The motion slams the Polisario Front, which exists solely in the Tindouf camps on Algerian soil where it imprisons hostages under the watchful eye of its Algerian masters. The fraudulent 'SADR' remains nothing more than a phantom entity, a fictional creation sustained by the hostile Algerian regime in its desperate campaign against Morocco's territorial integrity.
'The Polisario is implicated in serious violations of human rights that constitute threats to regional and international security,' the motion thunders, adding that 'various reports from international think tanks have warned against attempts by the Tehran-Hezbollah-Polisario axis to destabilize North Africa and the Maghreb through ideological infiltration, financing of radical activities, and proliferation of weapons in the region.'
Last March, Peru's Congress passed another motion urging the country's Foreign Ministry to express clear support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan.
The document, introduced by legislators Maria Del Carmen Alva Prieto and Ernesto Bustamante Donayre, referenced the plan's widespread international backing from over 120 countries and cited UN Security Council Resolution 2756 from October 2024.
In April, Keiko Fujimori, leader of Peru's Popular Force party, voiced her party's absolute support for Morocco's sovereignty during a visit to Rabat, where she met with Rachid Talbi El Alami, President of the Moroccan House of Representatives.
This diplomatic pivot follows Peru's decision in September 2023 to sever ties with the self-proclaimed 'SADR,' a bogus entity fabricated by the deceptive Polisario Front and its Algerian sponsors.
Peru had briefly reestablished these misguided ties under former leftist President Pedro Castillo – a political outsider who presided over a government in disarray, struggling to return stability to Lima after years of public discontent and large-scale riots – before rectifying this error.
The Congress reaffirmed Peru's dedication to defending human rights, combating terrorism, and building diplomatic relations with countries that advance peace, security, and development, while rejecting the destabilizing schemes of the Algerian-backed separatist faction that threatens regional stability.
Morocco maintains full control of its Sahara territories, implementing an ambitious development plan while the Algeria-financed Polisario languishes in isolated camps, holding people against their will and engaging in criminal activities under the protection of the Algerian military.

Algeria Faces Major Setback as Ghana Reaffirms Support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan
Rabat — In another diplomatic setback for Algeria, Ghana has once again reaffirmed its support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan as the only viable solution to the Western Sahara dispute. This comes just months after Algeria claimed that Ghana had reversed its stance on the issue — a claim that has now been officially dismissed. In a joint statement signed in Rabat by Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and his Ghanaian counterpart, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, last Friday, Ghana recognized 'the exclusivity of the Autonomy Plan presented by the Kingdom of Morocco in 2007 as the only realistic and sustainable basis for a mutually acceptable solution' to the regional dispute. This declaration reinforces Ghana's decision on January 7, 2025, to withdraw its recognition of the self-proclaimed 'SADR' (so-called Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic). The move aligns Ghana with the growing international consensus in support of Morocco's territorial integrity and sovereignty over its southern provinces. Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration confirmed that it had communicated this position to Morocco, the African Union, and the United Nations through official diplomatic channels. The ministry emphasized Ghana's backing for the 'good-faith efforts made by the Kingdom of Morocco to reach a solution accepted by all parties.' Ghana had originally recognized the Polisario-led 'SADR' in 1979 but has now decisively shifted its position in line with over 113 countries — more than 60% of UN member states — that support Morocco's Autonomy Plan as the most credible political framework to resolve the conflict. This reversal is part of a broader regional trend. Kenya, once considered a stronghold of pro-Polisario sentiment and a vocal ally of Algeria's stance on the Sahara, has also announced its support for Morocco's proposal. These developments signal a growing momentum in favor of Morocco's sovereignty , leaving Algeria's foreign policy increasingly isolated. Adding to Algeria's diplomatic frustrations, the United Kingdom — a permanent member of the UN Security Council — recently expressed its clear endorsement of Morocco's Autonomy Plan. The UK's support is more than symbolic; it adds significant international weight to Morocco's position. According to recent figures from Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, over 113 countries around the world support the moroccan autonomy plan. On the other hand, 46 countries, including 13 African nations, have cut or frozen their ties with the Polisario since 2000. The increasing number of countries distancing themselves from the separatist group highlights the shifting dynamics on the global stage — where realism and pragmatism are replacing outdated allegiances.

Algerian media claim UK reversed its stance on Western Sahara to neutrality [Fact Check]
Days after announcing its change of position on the Western Sahara conflict, supporting Morocco's 2007 autonomy proposal as «the most practical, credible, and achievable basis for a lasting resolution», Algerian public and private media claimed that the United Kingdom had reverted to a neutral stance. Algerian media based their reports on a statement published Monday on the official UK government website titled «New UK-Moroccan partnerships to grow UK economy». The news website Algérie Nouvelle, affiliated with the national channel, published an article titled «Britain Retracts and Supports International Legitimacy to Resolve the Western Sahara Conflict». The article added that the British government clarified its position, stating: «The United Kingdom seeks to support a lasting resolution to the Western Sahara conflict that is agreed upon by the parties, supports the UN-led process, and respects the principle of self-determination». The government channel Algérie Internationale reported that «Britain reaffirms its support for UN efforts to find a lasting solution to the conflict agreed upon by both parties». Other Algerian media outlets such as El Bilad, Echorouk, Akhbar Al Watan, and Eldjazair Daily published similar articles. David Lammy says the same thing in Rabat and London However, Algerian media failed to mention the UK government's explicit announcement regarding its change of stance on the Sahara conflict. The statement specified that «The UK has chosen to endorse autonomy within the Moroccan state as the most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis for a mutually-agreed and lasting solution to the Western Sahara dispute, one that can deliver on our commitments to conflict resolution in the region and self-determination for the people of Western Sahara». Moreover, Britain, «as a member of the UN Security Council, and as a friend to countries across the region», seeks in its new position «to support a mutually-agreed solution to the conflict that supports the UN-led process and respects the principle of self-determination. Approaching the 50-year anniversary of the conflict, it is vital that we leverage this window of opportunity to secure a lasting solution to the dispute, and one that delivers a better future for the people of the Western Sahara». It is worth noting that this is not the first time Algeria has promoted the idea that countries have withdrawn their support for the autonomy proposal. In April 2024, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune claimed he had «forced» Spain to withdraw its support, and in early May 2025, the Algerian Foreign Ministry asserted that Ghana had also retracted its backing of the autonomy plan. A similar scenario occurred with Sierra Leone, a country that recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, in January 2024, as well as with Slovenia in May of the same year.

Assets of Tebboune's Sons in France Face Potential Asset-Freezing Measures
Rabat – Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune could face a new scandal amid reports on France's potential freezing of the assets of about 20 Algerian dignitaries. Mohamed Sifaoui, a French-Algerian investigative journalist, has revealed that two of Tebboune's sons, Mohamed and Khaleld, hold assets in France. Sifaoui made his remarks during an interview with Algerian journalist Abdou Semmar. During the interview published this week, the journalist claimed that while Tebboune may have no assets in France, his sons do. These assets could be seized and frozen by French authorities, which would see bilateral tensions escalate even further since the two countries started exchanging hostile diplomatic decisions in the aftermath of France's endorsement of Morocco's position on the Western Sahara dispute. Sifaoui made several other revelations, including pointing out the abuse of power by the Algerian regime. He said that Mohamed Tebboune was entrusted by his father with a government advisory role despite his lack of experience. Mohamed Tebboune also has connections with Turkish businessmen, he suggested, adding that this would eventually land him in jail when his father's mandate ends. 'They own commercial properties, stock assets, etc. What we call financial assets in other words, wealth… both of them have assets in France,' the Algerian journalist said, noting that this is 'confirmed information.' The journalist slammed the Algerian president for criticizing France while his sons have financial holdings there, noting that he not only relies on information from government reports but also verifies and fact-checks information himself. 'That's why I haven't published it yet,' he said. 'I have the names and will probably publish them by the end of the week. But among those are the two sons of Abdelmadjid Tebboune.' Sifaoui and his interviewer then both launched into a debate about the hypocrisy of the Algerian ruling class, slamming Algeria's establishment for claiming to adopt an anti-French policy while their children and families hold active assets in France. This is not the only bombshell revelation Sifaoui made about the Algerian regime's involvement in similar scandals. Beyond the regime's interference in the domestic affairs of other countries, a new comprehensive investigation has shed light on clandestine operations allegedly orchestrated by the Algerian regime on French soil. Last month, French outlet Le Journal du Dimanche reported that, under President Tebboune, the Algerian government has been actively involved in a campaign to suppress opposition voices abroad. A senior French security official, speaking on condition of anonymity to the news outlet, said: 'We possess reliable intelligence confirming that Algerian services did not act independently.' This includes attempts to abduct or intimidate prominent dissidents residing in France, such as YouTube r Amir DZ and journalist Abdou Semmar. Algeria and France have experienced political tensions for months. According to L'Express, France is now considering freezing the assets of several dignitaries of the Algerian regime. There have also been exchanges of hostile measures from both countries, including travel restrictions against officials from both sides. In recent years, both countries have taken measures to expel officials or made other similar measures. In May, diplomatic sources told AFP that Algeria was planning to expel more French officials. In response, French Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot confirmed that ties between France and Algeria were 'completely frozen.' Tags: algeria and francerelations between Algeria and France
