Republican Congressman Joe Wilson announced this evening the preparation of a new report explicitly calling for the designation of the Polisario Front as a terrorist organization within the United States. Wilson’s tweet on his official account was assertive: “Legislation is coming soon! Trump will fix this,” indicating an imminent legal move in Congress with clear Republican support.
The report was prepared by RC Greenway, a former national security and diplomacy expert who held senior positions in the Department of Defense and the U.S. National Security Council. She is known for her hardline stances against Iranian proxies and separatist militias, which explains her determined approach towards the Polisario.
This initiative comes amid a changing international context in which the Moroccan Sahara issue is receiving growing support for the autonomy proposal under Moroccan sovereignty, particularly from influential forces within the American landscape.
This new direction reinforces the hypothesis of a realignment of positions within Washington, with potential direct impacts on the future of the regional conflict and the stances of the United States’ traditional allies in the area.
