On Friday morning, the Polisario Front declared war on Morocco, assuring it is the “firm response” after a Moroccan army incursion that attacked Sahrawi civilian demonstrators in Western Sahara.
This was reported by the Moroccan news agency MAP in the early hours of Friday
Morocco has sent a military offensive in the Guerguerat area to put an end to the demonstration of Sahrawi civilians who have peacefully blocked the border crossing since 21 October.
Morocco’s foray into Sahrawi territory put an end to the direct confrontation with the Sahrawi army which tried to protect the affected civilians.
The Polisario Front accuses Morocco of having “flagrantly” violated the ceasefire by entering the territory and attacking Sahrawi civilians. The tension remains in the area where both armies are face to face.
