Polisario Front Condemns Kosmos Energy’s Activities Offshore Western Sahara

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

The Frente Polisario issued a statement condemning Kosmos Energy and Morocco’s exploration off the coast of Western Sahara and has called on Kosmos to halt all drilling activities.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the 9th ordinary session of the National Secretariat of the Polisario Front, held the first week of September, the Polisario Front “strongly” condemned the acts of looting and theft of Western Sahara natural resources, in conspiracy, regrettably, with significant parties and multinational companies.

The communiqué warned of the drilling operations carried out by the Kosmos, describing it as “a dangerous precedent contradicts ethics and international legitimacy,” adding that such activities by Kosmos would have “pernicious consequences on peace and stability”
