“By hosting the leader of the separatist militias of the Polisario, at the 8th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 8), Tunisia has committed a flagrant violation of law and international relations,” the NGO said in a statement.
“This act is far from being a miscalculation on the part of the Tunisian state. It represents a reversal from the constants of Tunisian diplomacy and an irresponsible act that harms the Maghreb relations. It is also a hostile gesture against the best interests of the Kingdom,” according to the same source.
The Foundation condemned the receipt of a “terrorist subject to international prosecution who is at the head of a separatist group that threatens the security and stability of Africa.
This sudden and unilateral step “has spoiled the summit intended to promote investment and development in Africa in a complex regional and international context,” the NGO said, expressing its “full” solidarity with the Kingdom of Morocco and its clear and legitimate political positions.”
