This speaks volumes about the crossing of the separatist front desert which is to force itself, even if it means rushing by break -in, in international conferences where the African Union is involved and this despite the opposition of the host countries.
From the start of the Ticad-9, Japan said that the Polisario is not welcome. The Declaration of the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Takeshi Iwaya, was of indisputable clarity. “I would like to point out that the presence in this meeting of any entity that Japan does not recognize as a state in no way affects the position of Japan concerning the status of this entity,” he said Iwaya before African ministers and representatives of international organizations during the conference.
Despite this disavowal, the separatist front has endeavored to enter the protection of Algeria, whose diplomacy is used to behind the scenes.
The Japanese organizers had to place bodyguards around the Polisarian delegation to avoid clashes with Moroccan representatives, as was the case last year when a Moroccan diplomat tried to remove the pseudo-rasd flag in protest against the presence of a puppet entity not recognized as the State by the United Nations.
The presence of the Polisario is all the less justified as its members travel with Algerian diplomatic passports.
The work of the Ticad-9 continues until August 23. Japan is used through this format of promoting its economic cooperation with Africa.
