RABAT, 3 March, 2021 (TON): Relating to the disputed Western Sahara’s misunderstandings, foreign ministry of Morocco has suspended its ties with the German embassy.

As the former U.S. President recognized Moroccan’s sovereignty over the WSahara in a deal to normalize Rabat and Israel’s relations, Morocco got infuriated by Germany’s criticism over it.

“Suspend all contact, interaction and cooperation with the German Embassy and embassy-related activities,” a letter leaked online from the Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita to the other government officials.
However, the leaked letter affirmed of its authenticity by the government official, but it was not supposed to be revealed to the public, he said.  

Germany’s Foreign Ministry said it was aware of media reports about the letter.
UN peacekeepers now monitor a cease-fire between Moroccan forces and Polisario, supporters who fought for the independence for Western Sahara.
