Moroccan Sahara: American Decision "Definitively Broke Status quo" (Danish Deputy)
Tuesday 22 December 2020 - 17:57

The US decision to recognize Morocco’s full and entire sovereignty over its Sahara has “definitively broken the status quo”, thus opening a new page in the resolution of a long-running conflict of half a century, Danish MP Nasser Khader said.

“I believe that the American decision has definitively broken the status quo, by moving the lines in this conflict which has been running for nearly half a century at the risk of jeopardizing the future of the region and its populations,” Khader said in a statement to MAP.

According to him, this decision draws its relevance from the fact that it heralds a new era which “breaks with the self-determination referendum which has demonstrated its inapplicability and sheds light on the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty”.

Khader, chairman of the Defense Committee at the Danish Parliament (Folketing), affirmed that the American decision will create a life-saving debate, noting that this question will certainly be debated within the Danish political parties, as in the authorities of the European Union and the United Nations.
