France has led an intensive diplomatic push in recent weeks at the United Nations to secure a unified European stance on the Sahara issue, according to Africa Intelligence.
The report said France played a central role in bridging differences among European capitals, advocating for a realistic and balanced approach that would contribute to regional stability and align with Moroccan initiatives, particularly the autonomy proposal widely endorsed by the international community.
While the United States managed to avoid any opposing votes on its draft Security Council resolution, France reportedly intensified its diplomatic efforts to ensure European partners’ support and persuade hesitant states to back the text, which emphasizes continued UN-led political engagement.
The French initiative comes amid efforts to strengthen Morocco-France relations after a period of cooling ties. President Emmanuel Macron is seeking to rebuild trust with Rabat, recognizing Morocco’s pivotal role in stabilizing the Maghreb region and fostering Europe-Africa strategic partnerships.
Recent French diplomacy highlights Paris’s renewed backing of Morocco’s position within international institutions, at a time when developments on the Sahara file suggest that Morocco’s vision is increasingly seen as the realistic framework for resolving the long-standing dispute.
