Submitted on

Madrid, 22/06/2015 (SPS) .- No country in the world recognizes Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, Spanish daily ABC said.

 

In a post signed by journalist Luis de Vega and published today, ABC emphasizes that "regardless of the bilateral relations thermometer level between Madrid and Rabat, Morocco has never ceased to claim as its own the former colony abandoned by Spain in 1975 even if no country recognizes to the Alawite kingdom any sovereignty over that territory in instance of decolonization".



"Neither the two North African autonomous cities have been considered as lost, even though diplomacy, monarchy and Moroccan army did not give them as much interest as that given to the Sahara", newspaper said in reference to the policy of extortion followed by Moroccans to keep the pressure on Madrid in order to obtain dividends translated into support on the question of Western Sahara.


In addition to Ceuta and Melilla, Morocco uses the anti-terrorist propaganda to keep alive the memory of the ghost Atocha bombings of 2004 in which more than 200 people died. Most of the terrorists involved in the attacks were Moroccans. SPS
