Gambian FM Reaffirms Firm Support for Sahara’s Moroccanness

Mamadou Tangara, the Gambian Minister of Foreign Affairs, underlined his country’s staunch support for the Moroccanness of the Sahara on Tuesday in Rabat.

“This is my first official visit to Morocco since the formation of the new administration in Gambia; a fact that amply reflects the perfection of our two countries’ relations,” Taranga said after meeting with Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad.

“I take this occasion to restate, without ambiguity, my country’s support for the Moroccan Sahara,” he said, confirming his country’s support for Morocco’s autonomy plan.

He recalled that the Gambia was the first country to open a consulate in Dakhla, “an area that is an intrinsic part of Moroccan territory,” in this context.
