In contrast to the 14 other member countries of the Security Council that stressed their support for the political process conducted exclusively under the UN aegis, through the round tables organized in 2018 and in 2019 with the participation of Morocco, of Algeria, Mauritania and the + polisario +, South Africa stuck to its rigid position totally in contradiction with the reality of the question of the Moroccan Sahara, wrote director of CPLATAM Clara Riveros, in a article entitled "Algiers, Tindouf and Pretoria in a race for the most irrational position".

While the members of the Security Council hailed the dynamic created by the round tables, this country deplored a so-called "dead end" in the political process, thus revealing its contradiction with its own position on this same issue, noted CPLATAM.

This is a flagrant inconsistency, especially since South Africa, as a member of the Security Council between 2007 and 2008, supported Security Council resolutions 1754, 1783 and 1813 urging the parties to participate in the political process and describing Morocco's efforts to resolve this issue as "serious and credible", added the same source.

This country has also claimed that the mandate of the Minurso is related to the organization of a referendum, forgetting or pretending to forget that this option has been completely rejected by the Security Council since 2001, said the director of the Colombian think tank.

Disconnected from any notion of reality, Pretoria went far in its mistakes to call for a cease-fire in the Moroccan Sahara, seeming to ignore that it was concluded in 1991, she added.

The Colombian think tank has also blasted over the vain attempts of the South African delegation to instrumentalize the Coronavirus pandemic.
