The return of the military isn't wanted.

Why do most leaders of the world today insist on the legitimacy of the current rule in Mauritania? This country hasn’t witnessed, since its independence, a democratic and fair rule. The president Sidi Mohamed is an agent of the west and particularly France.

I think that the Mauritanian brothers should know well that Morocco has always been concerned about them. So I think that Mauritanian politicians should consult with the Moroccan leadership especially His Majesty the king. Finally, if a referendum were carried out in Mauritania, and I am Mauritanian, about granting Mauritania to Morocco, there will be a positive voting. Mauritania will therefore be one of the Moroccan states. “And Allah sufficed the believers in fighting”. Peace, mercy and blessings of God the Almighty be upon you.

We thank you very much for this article. Solving problems of the Arab Maghreb in general lies in union as the cause of these conflicts is division and fragmentation. Everyone knows that Mauritania didn’t exist before divisions and the European intervention. It was a big province of the kingdom of Morocco. Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the region, Moroccans Mauritanians must join the kingdom under the sublime monarchical rule of the commander of the believers his majesty the young King Moulay Mohammed VI may God assist him and grant him victory.

Western Sahara, as the enemies of our territorial integrity call it, is an integral part of the Alaoui kingdom. This is an unquestionable issue.

Morocco is bordered by Algeria, Mauritania, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. But if what you wrote is true, Algeria is limited to the south by the Touareg state and to the North West by the state of the Amazigh people. You want to dwarf states. We are ready for the good if this is what you want as well. But if you are looking for evil, then the region will be balkanised and this is what the West wants. Oh Lord be witness that I have transmitted the message. My dream was to see one state limited to the north by the Mediterranean Sea, to the West by the Atlantic Ocean, to the East by Libya and to the South Mauritania and Mali = Morocco+ Algeria one strong state with a new capital. After we achieve strength and union, other Maghreb states will join us through fair elections. But they do not deserve this pride and strength. They want humiliation and disgrace. This comes from small agent states which have no strength except tumults. I disown these tumults. Salam alikum.

No other decision.

We want stability in our country. God is the assistant. The president eats public funds and the minister leaves nothing of them. But citizens pay the price.
