The decision of the United States to recognize, for the first time in its history, the full sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara is a “strong support for Morocco’s legitimate position”, underlines the Euro-Mediterranean Observatory of Public Space and Democracy.
“The decision of the United States enshrines Morocco’s position on the territory of the Sahara and its autonomy proposal for the southern provinces,” said the director of the Observatory, Fernando Olivan, in a statement to MAP.
“With this position taken by the US Administration, Morocco confirms its strong position thanks to the international support provided for its cause,” noted academician and lawyer Olivan, adding that the other parties are called upon more than ever to give up their “obsolete and radical positions” so as to achieve a solution to the Sahara issue.
“The US decision sends a clear message of optimism and opens the way to dialogue, which is the only way to end the Sahara dispute on the basis of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty”, noted the director of the Euro-Mediterranean Observatory of public space and democracy.
President Trump on Thursday signed a proclamation recognizing the full sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over the entire region of the Moroccan Sahara.
The United States of America has also decided to open a consulate in Dakhla, with a primarily economic vocation, to encourage U.S. investments and contribution to economic and social development.
