The remarks were made late Monday by Moroccan Communication Minister, Government spokesman, Khalid Naciri, who was speaking to BBC Radio.
   "The position of the Kingdom is clear about this. It is rather up to them, who gave instructions to A. Haidar to poison the talk process, to find a solution" to this problem, Naciri told the London-based Radio.
   He said "Algeria has created, funded and provided weapons to the separatists Polisario movement" [which lays claims to Morocco's Sahara], while Morocco holds out a "brotherly hand" to its eastern neighbour and invites it to bring down the "Berlin Wall" that separates the two countries and peoples.
   “It is indeed the last land borders in the world that are still closed by the only wish of Algeria,” he said in reference to the borders closed between the two countries since the mid-Nineties.
   The minister recalled that Morocco proposes to offer autonomy to its Southern Provinces in order to settle the Sahara question, and the north African has progressed its positions, while Algeria clings to “completely outdated, cold-war-like attitudes.”
   The top official also accused Algeria of having a “hegemonic appetite” in the region and of “systematically blocking any diplomatic attempts to construct the Maghreb Union.”
   The Union, known as Arab Maghreb Union, includes, besides the two countries, Mauritania, Tunisia and Libya, but has done very little since its inception in the 80s because of disputes between Morocco and Algeria.
   “There is no doubt about this, he said. Otherwise Algeria wouldn’t have housed the Tindouf Camps and opposed the UNHCR count of the populations sequestered on its soil.
   “All the elements show that Algeria is trying to foil Morocco’s initiatives aimed to preserve peace in the region and to build the Arab Maghreb.”
