reported by the Sahrawi News Agency (SPS), Mr. Mohamed Ammar reiterated the Sahrawi Republic&#8217;s strong condemnation of this French move, describing it as &#8220;a reflection of the hostility harbored by official France toward the Sahrawi people and their legitimate aspirations to restore sovereignty over their homeland.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sahrawi diplomat pointed out that &#8220;France has consistently supported the Moroccan occupying state politically, diplomatically, and militarily since the beginning of the conflict, in complete contradiction with its responsibilities as a permanent member of the UN <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?p=67183\">Security Council<\/a> and the spirit of the UN Charter, including Chapter XI, which frames the Sahrawi issue as a decolonization matter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sahrawi government expressed its strong condemnation of the visit, describing it as a &#8220;hostile and provocative act&#8221;
