A Sahrawi diplomat has shed light on Morocco's paradoxical vote in favor of UN resolution [A/C.4/81/L.4], describing it as a move dictated by geopolitical pressure rather than policy alignment. By voting for a text that frames the Western Sahara issue as a decolonization matter and upholds the right to self-determination, Rabat effectively contradicted its own doctrine. The diplomat stated that Morocco chose to conform to the overwhelming consensus of 154 countries to escape the stigma of total diplomatic isolation, which would have left it alongside only Israel and the United States. While this event is viewed as a significant success for the Sahrawi cause, the diplomat urged caution regarding the Moroccan regime's future maneuvers to bypass international mandates.
