Morocco has cut all contacts with the German Embassy in the capital, Rabat, in protest at Berlin’s stance on the disputed Western Sahara region.
Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita cited “deep disagreements” with Germany over the European country’s December 2020 criticism of the then-US president Donald Trump’s recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Trump made the decision in return for the African country’s normalization of ties with the Israeli regime.
