The decision of the Spanish authorities not to notify their Moroccan counterparts of the arrival of the leader of the "polisario" militias is a premeditated act, a voluntary choice and a sovereign decision made by Spain, of which Morocco takes full note, says the ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad in a statement.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad Nasser Bourita held talks, Thursday by videoconference, with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation, Francophonie, Regional Integration and Gabonese Abroad, Pacome Moubelet Boubeya, as part of the continued strengthening of Moroccan-Gabonese strategic relations.

The Moroccan autonomy initiative is a "very serious proposal that must be taken into consideration" to reach a realistic and durable solution to the regional conflict in the Sahara, Serbian Foreign Minister Nicola Selakovic said on Wednesday.

In deciding to host the so-called Brahim Ghali, leader of the polisario separatist militia, the Spanish government does not seem to have measured the consequences of its decision towards Morocco, a friendly state and ally, says Jean-Yves de Cara, chairman of the Scientific Council of the Observatory of Geopolitical Studies, a research center in geopolitics and international relations, based in Paris.

Several victims of the atrocities perpetrated by the leader of the polisario separatists, the so-called Brahim Ghali expressed on Saturday their anger at the Spanish government's position to allow access to its territory of a man wanted by justice for crimes of genocide and terrorism.
