U.S. report calls for sanctions against Algeria-backed Polisario militia, one of Iranian proxies

Another damning report has been issued in the United States on the polisario ties with Iran,its Axis of Resistance and proxies posing serious threat to regional peace and stability.

The alliance of the Algeria-backed Polisario armed militia with Iran’s Shi’a proxies in the Middle East has enabled them to receive international anti-imperialist solidarity and contribute to the Axis military efforts,says U.S. Townhall media platform of Conservative Republicans.

Polisario fighters are currently being held in Syria by the new regime of Ahmad a-Sharaa. Trained by Iran,they were part of the Iran-sponsored international resistance brigades defending the Assad regime,adds the publication,which is owned by the Heritage Foundation.

Following the collapse of Assad regime,hundreds of Polisario militias were left behind and detained. The new Syrian leaders have now closed the Polisario office in Damascus,which remained open throughout the civil war,underlines The Townhall (TH) analysis.

Alignment with Iran and participation in its mercenaries’ savagery should earn Polisario Western sanctions and isolation. Instead,it provided Polisario a place among the global left’s social justice causes,says the report,highlighting the growing cooperation between Iran’s theocracy and Marxists.

Throughout the Cold War,the Soviet Union sponsored guerrilla movements around the globe,using them as proxies against Western democracies. Colombia’s president,Gustavo Petro,last year took pride in the fact that comrades from his own M-19 guerrilla trained in the Libyan desert shoulder to shoulder with PLO and Polisario rebels,back in the day when the late Colonel Qaddafi,financed and trained anti-Western armed revolutionaries in his own hosted terrorist training camps.

The American report cites in this regard the visit paid last January by Swedish militant Greta Thunberg to Tindouf camps,Algeria,to participate in a Polisario global solidarity event also attended by Kurdish separatists,Palestinian activists and a hodgepodge of other Western social justice groups.

Iran,Hezbollah,Hamas,and the Polisario are exploiting Western social justice activists’ naiveté to blend their battles into a global struggle for social justice and recruit them to their ranks against a common evil – usually capitalism,the United States,the West,and Israel,says the analyst,citing the case of Polisario.

This new incriminatory report comes as a bipartisan legislation has been submitted to the U.S. Congress for branding the Polisario as a terrorist organization,imposing sanctions on the separatist group and its backers.
