Senegal, Morocco withdraw envoys in diplomatic spat

DAKAR -- Senegal and Morocco have recalled their ambassadors for consultations in a diplomatic dispute over a Senegalese former foreign minister’s comments backing an independent Western Saharan state, officials said Saturday.

Senegal instructed its ambassador to return for talks late Friday after Morocco withdrew its own envoy this week for three days in protest at comments made by ex-minister Jacques Baudin, a member of the opposition Senegalese Socialist Party.
