The US decision to recognize the full sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara is a final step that should bring everyone to integrate the reality, said Henri Frelinx, Vice-President of Belgian association “Friends of Morocco”.
“In terms of public international law, this is a final step that should lead all parties involved to abandon – highly debatable – positions of principle to integrate today’s political, economic and social reality,” he said.
“If the whole world is plunged into the throes of a sinister pandemic, a formidable political clarification has emerged in recent weeks, pleasing all those who want a just and lasting peace,” wrote the former magistrate.
According to him, “the recognition of the Moroccan Sahara, particularly by the United States, comes in the aftermath of the operations conducted by Morocco to restore the free movement of people and goods on the only route that connects West Africa to Europe through its territory.”
“This final clarification of the Moroccan status of the Sahara was followed by the installation of dozens of consulates of foreign countries in the capitals of the southern provinces,” Frelinx said.
“Who, if not Morocco, has invested astronomical amounts to turn this deprived region into a modern territory, where development opportunities, employment and the response to health and education concerns have been met, to the great satisfaction, not of those who speak of the Sahara, but of those who live there,” he concluded.
