Under the title “Massive opening of African consulates in the Moroccan Sahara”, the agency stresses that “the multiplication of the opening of general consulates by several African countries in the main cities of the Moroccan Sahara is now an irreversible reality which consecrates the territorial integrity of Morocco and confirms the explicit support of these countries to the sovereignty of the Kingdom over its southern provinces ”.

"The installation of African diplomatic missions in the Moroccan Sahara constitutes a real setback not only for the Polisario but also for its mentor, Algeria," according to the Paraguayan news agency.

In fact, in less than two months, the Union of the Comoros, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe, Central African Republic and Côte d'Ivoire opened their consulates in Laâyoune, while Guinea and The Gambia inaugurated diplomatic representations  in Dakhla, said the same source.
