Ernest looked at Lin Rui and whispered, "You mean. They want to negotiate with us."
"Yes. And they want to force you to negotiate with them." Lin Rui nodded. ¡°But they can¡¯t let go because they have always regarded themselves as the masters of Western Sahara.
And the contrast between them and you is too obvious, so they will not take the initiative to ask to negotiate with you. But they hope that you can take the initiative to talk to them.
So this time they are going to shoot those members of the Western Sahara Popular Front to force you to negotiate with them. "
"Despicable." Ernest shook his head.
"There is nothing despicable or noble between the two countries. There are only eternal interests." Actuary Jiang'an sneered and said, "Muterazi has been imprisoned by Morocco for several years.
Because of his reputation in the Arab world, although the Moroccans have not released him in recent years, they have always respected him.
Not only was he provided with separate room and board, he was even allowed to write books in prison. How could he be shot because of civilian casualties that had nothing to do with him?
And recently, Morocco is currently actively operating, hoping to return to the African Union and become a member state of the African Union.
With Mutlaqi¡¯s identity and influence. If the Moroccans wanted to shoot him, they would be condemned and firmly resisted by other Maghreb countries.
Not to mention rejoining the AU, it will even be unanimously boycotted by AU countries. Morocco does not want this to happen.
So they are just showing a gesture, hoping that you will take the initiative to ask to talk to them. "
"There is no possibility of dialogue between us and Morocco. We have fundamental differences, and coupled with the intensification of the armed conflict on the border" Ernest hesitated.
¡°This border armed conflict was directed by a group of international terrorists and the forces behind them. Neither Morocco nor your Western Sahara government is capable of solving it alone.
That¡¯s why we suggest that you have a dialogue with the Moroccan side. In the current situation, dialogue is more useful than confrontation. "The actuary Masaki replied.
"There is one person who should be able to mediate. I would like to ask that person to contact Morocco first.
¡°If Morocco really has such intention, I think Mr. President is willing to talk to them. "Ernister finally nodded.
"Oh? Minister Ernest has someone in this field?" Lin Rui asked curiously.
¡°This person is a friend of mine and has a very good personal relationship with me. His name is Aziz, he is an expert on Western Sahara and an adviser to the United Nations Mission in Western Sahara.
He once served as a professor at the University of Qadiyade in Morocco and has a very close relationship with Morocco.
¡° Many previous conversations between us and Morocco were initiated through him. If Morocco really wants to solve the problem through negotiations, he should be able to know some inside information.
¡°Perhaps through him we can arrange an informal meeting. Let¡¯s avoid everyone¡¯s attention and have direct contact with the Moroccan representatives. ¡± replied Ernest.
¡°I know this person, he is on the Security Council¡¯s list of personnel for the Mission in Western Sahara. He is an expert on West African security and Western Sahara issues.¡± Jiang An nodded.
"But if we want to find him, we must do it as soon as possible." Ernest replied, "As the situation further deteriorates, the United Nations Mission in Western Sahara has reported to the Security Council and is preparing to evacuate some personnel.
And this morning the Security Council has agreed to withdraw some personnel from MINURSO, including Aziz.
¡° Even now that we have time, we¡¯d better go to the UNMISS compound. It would be best to intercept Aziz before leaving and ask him to help mediate the matter. "
"No problem. We'll leave immediately." Lin Rui snapped his fingers. "Actuary, you stay, the headquarters cannot do without you. The other O2 members come with me, we will go to the UNMISS camp."
??In fact, MINURSO has been established for a long time. Since 1985, the United Nations Secretary-General has launched a good offices mission in cooperation with the OAU, leading to the creation of settlement proposals.
On August 30, 1988, Morocco and the Polisario Front accepted this proposal. In 1990, the Security Council endorsed the Secretary-General's report, which contained the full text of the settlement proposals and an outline of the Secretary-General's plan for their implementation.
On April 29, 1991, the Security Council, in its resolution 690, decided to establish the United Nations Organization for Western Sahara in accordance with the Secretary-General¡¯s report further elaborating on the implementation plan.??Referral Mission.
The plan provides for a transitional period during which the Special Representative of the Secretary-General will be solely responsible for all matters related to a referendum, allowing the people of Western Sahara to choose independence or integration with Morocco through a comprehensive vote.
The Special Representative is assisted in carrying out his mission by a Deputy Special Representative and an integrated team of United Nations civilian and military personnel; the team is named the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees will implement a refugee repatriation program for Western Sahrawis who live outside the territory and are eligible to vote. The transition period begins when the ceasefire comes into force and ends when the results of the referendum are announced.
?The original concept was that the civilian component of MINURSO would consist of approximately 800 to 1,000 personnel, depending on the needs of the various stages of the transition period. Its military component consists of up to approximately 1,700 personnel, and the security team consists of approximately 300 police officers.
According to the settlement plan, a referendum on Western Sahara should be held in January 1992. But the results did not go according to the original schedule.
On May 24, 1991, the Secretary-General proposed that the ceasefire should come into effect on September 6, and both parties accepted this date.
However, in the following three months, it became apparent that several tasks that should have been completed before the ceasefire could not be completed before September 6. In addition, although both parties had earlier accepted the settlement plan, major differences still existed between the two parties.
Therefore, one of the parties cannot agree that the transition period should begin on September 6, 1991.
At the same time, hostilities broke out again in the territory, interrupting an informal ceasefire that had been in place for more than two years. Under these circumstances, the Secretary-General decided that a formal ceasefire should enter into force on September 6, as originally scheduled, on the understanding that the transition period would begin as soon as unfinished tasks were completed.
The Security Council supports the Secretary-General¡¯s proposal to deploy 100 military observers in the territory during this delay period to verify the ceasefire and cessation of hostilities in certain areas. The number of military observers was later increased to 228, and certain logistical and administrative support personnel were also deployed to the field.
At that time, MINURSO¡¯s main functions were limited to verifying ceasefires and cessation of hostilities. The mission is headquartered in Laayoune, with regional headquarters in the north and south of the territory, and a liaison office in Tindouf to maintain contact with the Algerian authorities and the Popular Front for Western Sahara.
No one thought that the United Nations Mission in Western Sahara, which was established in 1991, would stay there for so many years.
The peacekeepers have been replaced one after another. The problem of Western Sahara is still a mess, and an independence referendum is still far away. The two sides have been engaged in a long-term armed confrontation.
