As anticipation builds across Morocco, citizens are awaiting the United Nations Security Council’s decision on the Sahara, widely expected to reaffirm support for the Kingdom’s 2007 autonomy plan for its southern provinces.

Across social media, Moroccans have displayed national symbols and messages asserting territorial unity, while southern cities are decorated with flags ahead of the Green March’s 50th anniversary.

Analyst Abdelfattah Fatihi described the upcoming vote as a potential “day of victory” for Moroccans, saying it could further unify citizens and consolidate global recognition of the autonomy plan as a credible framework for resolving the dispute.

The expert said the decision would validate Morocco’s steady diplomacy and reinforce the Kingdom’s position as an emerging regional power.
