The Battle of Guelta Zemmour told by the New York Times
Under the title "Morocco leaves two bases in Western Sahara", the New York Times echoed the Battle of Guelta Zemmour on October 13, 1981.
According to the NYT, "the Moroccan army has abandoned two key outposts of guerrilla warfare in Western Sahara in what appears to be a strategic withdrawal behind a special line of fixed defenses."
A statement from the Polisario Front reported the occupation of the Guelta post which was guarded by a regiment of 2,700 Moroccan army men, 2,000 of whom were killed and 200 taken prisoner.
"Today, Western military sources have confirmed the release of the Polisario. The sources, who requested anonymity, said Morocco had evacuated its forces from the outposts because they had become "indefensible" after a major assault with tanks and missiles by guerrillas in Guelta Zemmur on 13 October. ", Reports the NYT.
"The attack last month has been described as the biggest battle of the six-year war in which the Polisario Front is fighting Morocco for control of the former Spanish colony. Each side claimed to have inflicted more than 2,000 losses on each other. The guerrillas took 200 prisoners ", adds the American newspaper.
"The guerrillas took more than 200 Moroccan prisoners, shot down four planes with surface-to-air missiles, and surprised the local infantry garrison with Soviet-made T-54 tanks for the first time in the conflict," he said. -he.
"The sources said that the introduction of sophisticated Soviet weapons supplied to the guerrillas by Libya made the desert outposts too expensive to defend, and that the Moroccans had decided to withdraw behind the 400-kilometer line of networks. of special defense built last year to protect the main cities and phosphate mines of the territory ".
The Americans, furious to see the Saharawi army using sophisticated Soviet weapons sent a large military aid including experts for the construction of the current defense wall of 2700 km.

Morocco: Makhzen barks, but does not bite
" Dog bark do not bite" is a proverb that perfectly illustrates the sordid behavior of duds that manage for e s of Morocco!
While for Moroccan analysts, the threats of war in Western Sahara are only acts of procrastination tending to contain the popular uprising against the system established by France and Spain in Morocco, others see an attempt to change the situation. status quo since the 1991 cease-fire to prevent the Polisario Front from establishing its institutions in the liberated territories of Western Sahara.
The controversy was sparked by the Makhzen after the publication of the final version of the report of the UN Secretary-General on Western Sahara, a final version that clearly and unambiguously calls for the creation of an independent mechanism to monitor the respect of human rights. the man in the territory. An option that makes the Makhzen tremble.
So, the Moroccan authorities are agitating in the hope of seeing the Security Council give them a gift in exchange for their silence. The rest is just wind, like the "message sent to Algeria via a European ambassador". What bluff that Moroccans love to swallow!
In the past years, Moroccan intransigence was expressed by the King of Morocco in person on his way to a Saharawi city. Today, in the absence of Mohammed VI, El Othmani and the semblances of political parties meet in El Aaiun hoping to convince them that they are serious in their threat.
The ridiculous gestures of the Makhzen are repeated each year in the period of the expiry of April.Only this time, the international community seems determined to end this conflict that "has lasted too long" in the words of Antonio Guterres.
