Is Mauritania going to choose Morocco rather than Algeria?

During the last parliament's session the MP of Akjoujt, made a hint which says that "we (Mauritania) should have a good ties with Moroccan authorities and relinquish our recognition of Polisario front (the front for liberation of the Saharan territory)".
This statement came days after the visit made by the Maurianian ambassador in Morocco to the disputed region (Sahara) during which he made statements praising the Moroccan authorities for the efforts they're making in order to develop the region.
All that is seen by the opposition here in Mauritania as a new and dangerous direction taken by the current Mauritanian president, which will end up making Mauritania take side and be part in the conflict, rather than remaining a neutral country which was always its position in the past.
Also, the opposition warned the current government from causing a new conflict to our already weak country, especially in these days, which is marred by a serious assaults and attacks organized by Al Quaeda across our territory.
A comment from the presidency is expected very soon unless they have really decided to choose the Marocan side rather than the Algerian one.
