Ghana Cuts Diplomatic Ties with SADR, Backs Morocco's Peace Initiative
In a significant diplomatic shift, Ghana has announced the suspension of its diplomatic relations with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), as conveyed through an official communication from Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to its Moroccan counterpart on Tuesday.
The West African nation has committed to formally notifying Morocco, the African Union, and the United Nations of this policy change through established diplomatic channels. Additionally, Ghana expressed its endorsement of Morocco's diplomatic initiatives aimed at achieving a mutually acceptable resolution to the regional dispute.
This decision marks a notable evolution in Ghana's stance, considering its initial recognition of SADR in 1979. Throughout the intervening years, Ghana maintained a measured diplomatic approach, carefully weighing its historical position against its broader African diplomatic and economic interests.
Ghana's latest move adds it to a growing coalition of nations that have distanced themselves from SADR since 2000. Currently, 46 countries worldwide, including 13 from Africa, have suspended their diplomatic relations with SADR, indicating increasing support for Morocco's position regarding its sovereignty over the Sahara region.
