Morning Star.png Morocco Escalates With Moves to Expel UN Military Mission The Morning Star, London, 23 March 2016 The United Nations accused Morocco on Monday of trying to expel military staff from the peacekeeping mission in occupied Western Sahara. The latest row came days after Rabat ordered 84 UN staff to leave the former Spanish colony in protest at UN general secretary Ban Ki Moon's referral to the occupation as such. Mr Moon made his comment on a visit to the sprawling Tindouf camp for Sahrawi refugees - and headquarters of the Polisario Front liberation movement - in neighbouring Algeria. A spokesman for Mr Ban disclosed that the Minurso mission had received a new request from Morocco to close its military liaison office in Dakhla in the coming days. He said Morocco had acted arbitrarily, needlessly escalating tensions, and acting against the UN Charter and UN agreement on deploying the mission. He expressed hope "that Morocco gets the message that this kind of behaviour cannot be tolerated."
