The Moroccan propaganda website
www.polisario-confidential.org has
attempted, in two recent articles, to discredit the Danish General, Kurt
Mosgaard, and accuses him of supporting Polisario. One of the photographs in
the articles show, claims the author, the General wearing a traditional
Sahrawi article of clothing over his uniform, affixed to which is a SADR pin
or emblem. He is pictured together with the Defence Minister for Western
Sahara, Mohammed Lamine Bouhali.
Another article shows a photograph of General Mosgaard together with leaders
of Polisario in a refugee camp close to Tindouf.
"I have certainly never borne a Polisario emblem on my clothing", Kurt
Mosgaard replied relaxedly to the articles.
