Manuel Valls, former French Prime Minister, confirmed that “Polisario” separatists are involved in arms smuggling, human and drug trafficking; therefore, it gives rise to a real threat to security in Sahel region.

Valls, who was a program’s guest on the Spanish television channel (Antena 3), Friday, November 20^th, 2020, regarded positions of (Podemos) party, which is a minority party in the Spanish coalition government in relation to the Moroccan Sahara and the separatists, as “irresponsible positions.” Emphasizing that “Polisario is involved in arms smuggling, human and drug trafficking in the Sahel region”

He warned that “we should not sing out of swarm,” calling on the Spanish government to “take responsibility and be up to challenges facing Spain and Europe.”

On the other hand, he stressed that Morocco “is an important ally of Europe.”

“Morocco is an essential ally in the war against terrorism, which are great challenges to Europe” he said.

On a final note, Valls asserted “we have thousands of extremist people in our country. As a result, we need to co-operate with African countries, especially Morocco.”

A military source stated that the Coast Guard of the Royal Navy aborted, during the early morning of Sunday, October 8, 2020, a drug smuggling operation off the coast of Al Hoceima.

According to the same source, it led to the arrest of five smugglers on board a fishing boat, and seized two tons of drug known locally as “Shira”, which was hidden in 69 packages.

The same source added that the seized cargo and equipment were handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie to complete the established procedure.
