Liberia doesn't recognise SADR

Liberia is planning to open a consulate in Dakhla recognising de facto Moroccan sovereignty in Western Sahara. https://www.mapnews.ma/en/actualites/politics/liberia-open-consulate-dakhla-fm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegeta228 (talk • contribs)

Dubious

The Montevideo Convention is not customary international law and only binds its parties. There is an article on this topic: Diplomatic recognition. – Kaihsu (talk) 06:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Underdwarf58: moroccoworldnews is unreliable for anything to to do with Western Sahara (the same applies to other Moroccan media outlets). The second source that you used says that "no official statement has been published in this regard" (something that you would expect from the involved countries). I have been keeping an eye on the government websites and official Twitter accounts, and so far nothing. M.Bitton (talk) 23:20, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Underdwarf58: I self-reverted given that the SPS is the official press agency of SADR (I missed it earlier). M.Bitton (talk) 23:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phew, thanks. I was about to lose my temper Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:52, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For Guyana's case of withdrawing recognition, is this source reliable? It's owned by the UN Security Council instead of Moroccan-owned and it does mention in the Council Dynamics section that Guyana withdrew recognition of the SADR in November 2020. I'm not sure if this source is reliable considering how strict it is to edit articles about contentious topics. Underdwarf58 (talk) 10:32, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton forgot to tag you in the question. My apologies Underdwarf58 (talk) 10:21, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Underdwarf58: obviously that's not a good enough source and besides, I doubt that Guyana would issue a press release for something as mundane as this and then leave something as important as that out. M.Bitton (talk) 01:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

darn it ok Underdwarf58 (talk) 01:06, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revertion

How many times do we have to repeat that Panama didn't withdraw the recognition?

@M.Bitton It is stated that Panama suspended diplomatic relations on 21 November 2024 per this source. يوسف قناوة (talk) 18:18, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between "diplomatic relations" and "recognition". M.Bitton (talk) 18:34, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's understood. يوسف قناوة (talk) 18:50, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton The Syrian situation is a major event, analogous to the downfall of the Great Socialist People's Arab Jamahiriya and its replacement with the State of Libya.
