The latest developments of the Moroccan Sahara issue, particularly the adoption by the UN Security Council of Resolution 2797 enshrining the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty as a serious, credible and realistic solution to this artificial conflict were the focus of a discussion meeting Sunday in Cairo.
Held by the Egyptian Afro-Asian Peoples’ Solidarity Organization, and attended by several researchers and experts, this meeting was an opportunity to further discussion on the Moroccan Sahara question, from the launch of the Green March up to the recent adoption of the UN resolution, as well as the momentum of enhanced development at the level of the Kingdom’s Southern provinces through important investments launched in various areas.
Speaking on this occasion, President of the Moroccan Committee for Peace and Solidarity Taleâ Saoud El Atlassi spoke of the content and context of the adoption of the UN Security Council resolution, emphasizing in this regard the momentum of Moroccan diplomacy, led by the foresighted leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, as well as the significant progress achieved on the issue of the Kingdom’s territorial integrity.
As vice-president of the Afro-Asian Peoples’ Solidarity Organization, El Atlassi stated that “Morocco has managed the issue of its territorial integrity with wisdom and strategic intelligence over the past half-century in order to counter the maneuvers of enemies of the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, from the organization of the Green March to the international recognition of the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty, which today enjoys broad international support.”
Two-thirds of UN member states now consider the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty as the only framework for resolving this long-standing dispute, he said, stressing that the Security Council resolution is a major historic leap forward in enshrining Moroccan sovereignty.
El Atlassi also reviewed the major development projects underway in the Kingdom’s Southern provinces, citing in particular the Dakhla Atlantique port project as a platform for Afro-African cooperation and a productive gateway for relations between Europe and Africa.
