The Polisario Front declares a general mobilization against Morocco due to the military escalation in Western Sahara

The Polisario Front has declared a general mobilization against Morocco, alleging a military escalation by Moroccan forces in Western Sahara. This decision was made ten days after the expiration of the mandate of MINURSO, the UN mission that was not renewed due to disagreements between the United States and Russia. Brahim Ghali, Secretary General of the Polisario and President of the SADR, has called on the Sahrawi population to prepare for possible Moroccan military maneuvers and has called for unity to defend the right to self-determination and independence. The Polisario justifies the mobilization due to new Moroccan military movements that it considers a threat to the stability of the territory.
