🇲🇦🇯🇵🇩🇿 FLASH - Arrivé à Tokyo avec un passeport algérien et muni d’un badge d’accès algérien, un membre du Polisario s’est imposé en cachette à la réunion ministérielle de la Conférence internationale de Tokyo sur le développement en Afrique (TICAD)

Alors que l’entité qu’il dit représenter n’est nullement invitée au travaux, il se trouve une place dans un coin de la table et sort de son cartable avec une pancarte sur laquelle il est écrit: «République sahraouie».

Ladite pancarte ne ressemble en rien à celles des autres délégations.
