Tunisia welcomes the resolution of the United Nations Security Council which decided on Friday to extend the mandate of MINURSO for one year, announced the adviser to the President of the Republic of Tunisia, Walid Hajjem.
This reaction comes despite Tunisia’s abstention during the voting session on UN Security Council resolution 2602.
Quoted by the agency “TAP”, the official welcomed the appointment of the Italo-Swedish Staffan de Mistura as the new Personal Envoy for the Moroccan Sahara, calling it “an important step in advancing the process of political settlement and create a positive dynamic to continue efforts to reach a peaceful solution and support its efforts ”.
Several observers consider that this late declaration remains vague and soft, and contradicts the constant position of Tunisia on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara since independence, regardless of regimes and presidents.
