Polisario Front infiltrates TICAD9, Japan reaffirms non-recognition of the group.
During TICAD9, the Polisario Front, a Western Saharan separatist group, infiltrated the event despite Japan's invitation only to African Union member states. Japan reaffirmed its non-recognition of the Polisario, emphasizing that it does not recognize the self-proclaimed SADR and holds the African Union responsible for the group's presence. The incident has prompted African countries to consider expelling the Polisario from their ranks and highlights ongoing support for Morocco's territorial integrity and sovereignty over the Sahara.
