The memorandum says information has come to light that Morocco is now using weapons manufactured in South Africa. South African armored vehicles known as the MK-6 were captured by Polisario, the movement struggling for the independence of Western Sahara, in a battle with Moroccan troops in March. The MK-6 is a South African-built version of the French Panhard AML-90. The memorandum says the revelation of South African arms in Morocco puts the U.S. arms deal with Morocco in an even more compromising light; the United States and South Africa are now allied with Morocco against the people of Western Sahara.
