Rabat, Morocco (TMT)- Georges Rebelo Pinto Chikoti, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Angola, and the President of the Security Council for the month of March 2016 used the word “Spanish Sahara ” to refer to Morocco’s 1975 recovered lands from Spain.
It may be argued that it was a slip of the tongue, epecially that he did not refer to it as “Western Sahara,” the name convention the UN and the security council use to refer to the disputed part of the Moroccan territory.
“I will not answer on the Spanish Sahara because the issue is still being debated, so we’ll leave it out,” Georges Rebelo Pinto Chikoti said.
