In a move that raises question marks about the extent of commitment to the declared positions, the Libyan Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in the city ofBenghaziDisplaying maps of the Kingdom of Morocco truncated from its southern provinces, in disregard of international resolutions and geographical and historical facts that confirm that the Sahara is an integral part of the national territory of Morocco.
An official source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government ofsaid Osama HammadThese practices continue despite the Chamber’s warning of their danger earlier, because of the negative consequences they may have on bilateral relations, especially since the Benghazi government officially declares its support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco.
Previous warning without correction
A source from the Libyan Foreign Ministry confirmed, last September, that the ministry intends to send an official correspondence to the Benghazi Chamber of Commerce in order to correct the maps displayed at its headquarters and on its digital platforms, to avoid any unintended harm to the relations betweenKingdom of MoroccoAnd **Libya**. However, the controversial maps reappeared in the chamber’s posts on its official Facebook account.
A new incident renews the controversy
The latest of these publications, according to available data, was accompanied by an official activity related to the reception of the economic and commercial affairs advisor at the Greek Embassy in Libya, in the presence of the Director General of the Chamber and officials from the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, where the map of Morocco appeared with a line separating its southern regions from the rest of its regions, which brought the controversy back to the forefront.
Absence of official clarifications
In an attempt to clarify the background of this behavior, the media contacted the Department of International Relations at the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Benghazi, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, but no official response was issued, despite repeated attempts to communicate and leave explanatory messages regarding the matter.
Official statements and contradictory behavior
These developments come at a time when Libyan officials have previously affirmed their explicit support for the unity and sovereignty of Morocco over its entire territory, includingSaeed and NiceChairman of the National Security Committee of the Supreme Council of State, and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Hammad governmentAbdul Hadi Al-HawaijThey stressed on various occasions Libya’s desire to strengthen cooperation relations with Rabat. However, the repetition of these “provocations,” as observers describe them, raises questions about the extent of the compatibility of the discourse with practice.
A consistent Moroccan role in supporting Libya
It is noteworthy that, since the outbreak of the Libyan political crisis, Morocco has remained committed to supporting Libya’s unity and stability, as it played a pivotal role in bringing the views of the Libyan parties closer together, especially by embracingSkhirat Agreement, which constituted an essential step in the search for a comprehensive political solution to the crisis.
This incident remains a new test of the seriousness of the Libyan parties in translating their official positions into practical practices that respect the sovereignty of states and protect Maghreb relations from any unaccounted tensions.
