The Polisario Front continues to mobilize its intermediaries abroad once morest the phosphate exported by Morocco. This week, the Maritime Union of Australia thus condemned, in a press release, the resumption of imports from the kingdom of phosphates for the benefit of the Australian company Incitec Pivot.
“The Clipper Isadora vessel handed over 33,000 tonnes of plundered natural resources – a cargo of phosphate mineral rock – worth A$15 million to the Geelong Bulk Terminal,” it says, pointing to cargo from of the Sahara. For the Australian union, “the export and sale of phosphate ore from Western Sahara – a non-renewable resource – is a war crime”, something to delight the media outlets of the Front who took up the press release.
The separatist movement seizes the opportunity to threaten, via the said Australian union, to carry out “several actions, in particular the prosecution of Incitec Pivot Limited within the framework of a national civil and criminal action (in Australia, editor’s note), the opening new legal proceedings once morest the Clipper Isadora vessel in the countries where it operates as well as formal complaints to various United Nations agencies”.
last august, while the country retains for the second consecutive year its position as the “first customer” of phosphates extracted from the Sahara, the Association for the control of natural resources and the protection of the environment in Western Sahara (AREN), the associative arm of the Polisario, had criticized Mexico; although the country recognizes the “SADR”. The movement has already castigated other countries such as New Zealand and India for importing shipments of phosphates mined from the Sahara.
