UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon met with Moroccan Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi-Fihri and intelligence agency (DGED) chief Mohamed Yassine Mansouri in New York on Friday (December 11th). "We discussed several issues, notably the situation in the Maghreb and the development of the Sahara issue," MAP quoted Fassi-Fihri as saying after the meeting. To keep "all doors closed and without contact between governments at a moment when we face real challenges, not only at the level of the Maghreb but also in Europe, is against the interests of the people of the region", the minister added.
According to Reuters, Ban Ki-moon broached the issue of Western Sahara activist Aminatou Haidar's hunger strike. The 42-year-old has been at the Spanish Canary Islands airport of Lanzarote since Moroccan authorities deported her on November 14th.
