The United Arab Emirates has condemned the terrorist attack that targeted Smara city in Morocco, which left one person injured.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) said the UAE condemned the attack “in the strongest terms,” describing it as a criminal act. The Ministry further stated its “permanent rejection of all forms of violence, extremism, and terrorism” directed at undermining security and stability.
Beyond its condemnation, the MoFA used the statement to reaffirm the UAE’s position on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara. The Ministry expressed the UAE’s “steadfast position and solidarity with the Kingdom of Morocco,” along with its “full support” for Morocco’s “legitimate sovereign rights” over the Moroccan Sahara.
The UAE also said it backed all efforts that “safeguard the security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Kingdom.” The Ministry added that such efforts “contribute to promoting peace, stability, and sustainable prosperity in the region.”
