Participation of Sahrawi Republic in Africa–Europe Summit

Participation of Sahrawi Republic in Africa–Europe Summit

The Sahrawi Republic has been seeking participation in the Africa–Europe Summit, and in 2017, it was officially recognized as a member of the African Union.

According to the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) ambassador to Spain, the participation of the Sahrawi Republic in the Africa–Europe Summit is a significant step forward in its diplomatic efforts.

The SADR ambassador stated, "Our participation in this summit is a victory for the Sahrawi people and a recognition of their struggle for self-determination."

The Sahrawi Republic has been a member of the African Union since 1982, and its participation in the Africa–Europe Summit is seen as a way to strengthen its ties with European countries.

However, the Moroccan government, which claims sovereignty over the Western Sahara region, has criticized the Sahrawi Republic's participation in the summit.

The Moroccan foreign minister stated, "This summit is not the appropriate forum for discussing the Western Sahara issue, and we will not engage in any discussions that could be seen as recognition of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic."

The Sahrawi Republic's participation in the Africa–Europe Summit is seen as a significant development in its diplomatic efforts, but it remains to be seen how Morocco will respond to this development.

As the Sahrawi Republic continues to push for recognition and self-determination, its participation in the Africa–Europe Summit is a crucial step forward in its efforts.

Author's Note: The Sahrawi Republic's participation in the Africa–Europe Summit is a significant development in its diplomatic efforts, but the road to recognition and self-determination remains long and challenging.
