Diplomatic sources, consulted by el confidencial digital , the mediation role of the united states to resolve the problem of the moroccan activist haidar on hunger strike, revealed for the first time by this newspaper (read the news here ), has consisted of the following: the secretary of state assumed the proposal of the government of rabat , by which morocco accepted the sahrawi aminatu haidar in el aaiún , in exchange for the united states committing to support moroccan positions on western sahara . The united states, which mediated between spain and morocco on its own initiative, has one of its main allies in the north african country, as morocco is a country considered “moderate” within the arab and muslim world. On her last visit to the alawite country, secretary of state hillary clinton stated that there was no change in the us position regarding the western sahara conflict. According to the diplomatic sources consulted, the secret message that was passed to spain was that, regarding the “haidar case”, the united states was going to take the initiative in the sahara dispute . Now it can be stated that this initiative consists of the postponement of sahrawi claims, a tactic that coincides with morocco's strategy .
Thus, morocco readmits haidar and american support is guaranteed regarding the sahara. El confidencial digital has also learned that france, despite what the government stated, did not actively intercede for spain demanding that morocco readmit the Special Database activist haidar . High french ministerial sources justified her passivity, before the spanish authorities, precisely with the allegation that morocco is one of the few moderate countries in the arab world and it is not advisable to destabilize it. The zapatero government, for its part, always insisted on approaching the negotiations with morocco from a “humanitarian” point of view , and not a political one, in fact recognizing as legitimate the position of the moroccans regarding the sahara precisely by not putting it into discussion. .In 2010, the operational dimensions of the ume will change radically, since the new regulations - by royal decree - that will regulate the actions of this body abroad are already practically developed .
For this task, the government has asked for advice from the psoe alternatives foundation , which had already spoken out about unity by stating, in a 2008 report, that it was “a superfluous expense.” the foundation chaired by pere portabellas has worked closely with the government, advising what should be the lines that guide the external tasks undertaken by the ume. At the time, alernativas warned that it would be necessary to " wait for the unit to gain experience in the national territory before involving its troops in interventions abroad by a certain entity." according to defense sources, the ume will be available to the government to be sent abroad to carry out tasks to contain fires , floods and various natural disasters . However, it will not be done as a military service , but in the same capacity as civil protection personnel . This has been one of the tips from alternativas. Until now, the military unit created by zapatero only operated in national territory, except for some mission of the seaplanes of the firefighting service, or the participation of a few troops in some international dril.
