Algeria’s army chief, General Said Changriha, has been extremely disappointed by the absence of international response to the polisario’s call for a UN seat for the self-proclaimed SADR as the General was behind the failed initiative which received no feedback or support. Such an eloquent silence observed by the international community is a slap in the face of the powerful General who pinned high hopes on this initiative to re-boost the polisario separatist puppet, which is armed, funded and sheltered by the Algerian regime. By seeking a UN seat for its puppet, Gen. Changriha, Algeria’s De facto ruler, was hoping to fool the international community that the Sahara issue opposes Morocco to the Polisario and that Algiers is not a party to this conflict. Through his move, the 76-year old General wanted to show that the Polisario has still some cards to play after suffering a series of diplomatic setbacks. Blinded by hatred for their neighboring Morocco, the Algerian rulers seem to have forgotten that the UN is not an easy battleground like the OAU.
