BRICS foil South Africa’s pro-Polisario maneuvers

BRICS members meeting in Moscow rejected a South African proposal to include the Polisario separatists’ thesis in the agenda of a meeting on the MENA region.

South Africa’s representative was isolated as the sole country to seek to impose a proxy conflict imposed by Algeria to unsettle Morocco, at a time the MENA region is facing transformative challenges that threaten global peace and security.

The proposal was also rejected by Russia, not to mention backers of Morocco’s full sovereignty over the territory such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

South Africa has previously failed to invite the Polisario into a BRICS meeting in Johannesburg last summer.
