Moroccan Sahara : Honduras suspends recognition of Pseudo “sadr”

Honduras has decided to suspend its recognition of the pseudo “sahrawi arab democratic republic (sadr)”.

The decision was communicated to Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita by his Honduran counterpart, Mireya Agüero de Corrales, through an official letter received on Wednesday 22 April 2026. Honduras also notified UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of the move.

In her letter, Agüero de Corrales said the suspension stems from Honduras’s “sovereign decision, founded on its traditional attachment to the principles of non-interference and respect for the internal affairs of other states.”

Honduras also reaffirmed its full support for the UN Secretary-General’s efforts and those of his Personal Envoy to reach a political, just, and lasting solution. It further expressed adherence to UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2797.

The Central American country had first recognized the self-styled entity in 1989 and reconfirmed that recognition as recently as 2022. The suspension marks the sixth withdrawal of recognition in the past two years alone.
