THE POLISARIO THREATENS THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE MONACO-DAKAR “AFRICA ECO RALLY” RALLY
HIBAPRESS-RABAT
As usual, the Polisario has chosen the language of threat by directing its permanent language towards “all the “competitors, sponsors and participants” of the Africa Eco Rally
The separatist front threatened to use “all legitimate means” to “respond to any action aimed at undermining its sovereignty and territorial integrity”.
The Polisario published a press release accusing the organizers of the Rally of “collusion with the authorities of Rabat” and warning the participants that the circuit crosses a “war zone”.
According to Spanish newspaper Atalayer, the race aims to reach Mauritania via Morocco, and competitors will cross the Guerguerat border.
The 2022 edition of the Africa Eco Race is scheduled to start on October 15 and end in two weeks, competitors will start from Monaco and cross the finish line in Dakar, the Senegalese capital.
The newspaper “Atalayer” reports that the organization Africa Eco Race did not respond to warnings from the separatist front of the polisario, and the race will be organized.
The newspaper also added that this is not the first time that the Polisario has threatened the race. In 2018 he tried to intercept the race, but backed down after diplomatic pressure from the United Nations
