Morocco's 2007 autonomy plan to settle the regional dispute over the Sahara is garnering growing and unequivocal support within the United Nations, a discovery that attests to the proactivity of Moroccan diplomacy that feeds on a vision and visionary leadership of the future of King Mohammed. SEEN.
Whether it is the latest UN Security Council resolution or the discussions of the General Assembly's 4th Committee and the Committee of 24 (C24), the supremacy of the Autonomy Plan is always promoted as the single solution to a solution. Man-made conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.
Thus, the executive body of the United Nations, in its resolution 2602 last October, reconsecrated the hegemony, the seriousness, and the credibility of the Moroccan autonomy initiative, which constitutes the only solution to this territorial dispute, in the framework of sovereignty and territory. kingdom security.
This clearer commitment was confirmed by the many States, regional groups, and sponsors who lined up on the podium of the Fourth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly to support the political process and highlight Morocco's sincere efforts embodied in the 'Autonomy.
The speech was delivered by ambassadors and representatives of delegations and regional groups to express their conviction of Morocco's sovereignty over its southern states and to underline the superiority of the autonomy plan as the only solution to the conflict. Moroccan Sahara region.
The same observation was made during the C24 Caribbean Regional Symposium which was held last May in Castries in Saint Lucia and during the annual meeting of this same committee in June.
During these two meetings, the autonomy plan was widely and strongly supported by the Member States of the United Nations, the sponsors, and the regional groupings, demonstrating once again the serious, credible, and viable character of the initiative. Moroccan "autonomy".
Another highlight during these two events was the active participation of the elected representatives of the Moroccan Sahara, which irrevocably and irrevocably establishes with the United Nations and international recognition of their status as legitimate representatives of the population of the southern provinces of the Kingdom. This active participation distorts, once again, the supposed and fictitious representation of the separatist group, the “Polisario”.
Furthermore, Security Council resolution 2602, which follows on from the last four resolutions of the UN executive, has reinforced the importance of the round table process with its methods and its four participants, namely Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the “Polisario”.
If this satisfies Algeria, which is misguided, the ministers asked Staffan de Mistura, the new Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Sahara, to resume the facilitation of the political process of the Round Tables, stressing once again that the aim ultimate goal of this process is to arrive at a political, realistic, practical, lasting and mutually acceptable solution, based on a compromise.
With a firm will and an unshakable conviction, Morocco continues its march of construction for the well-being of the inhabitants of the southern provinces, thanks to the new development model launched by King Mohammed VI in 2015.
As part of this avant-garde model, which includes all components of the local population, investments worth $8 billion are allocated to social, economic, and structuring projects at the regional level, such as the Atlantic port of Dakhla, the largest in deep waters in Africa, and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of El Aaiun, one of the most important in the kingdom.
This strong support for the first national cause comes in a context marked by the Kingdom's major diplomatic successes, as well as growing support for the Moroccan character of the Sahara and the legitimacy of the Kingdom's rights over its southern provinces. The autonomy initiative is the only solution to this territorial dispute that came out of nowhere and that Algeria has been maintaining for more than 45 years.
These include the recognition by the United States of Morocco's full sovereignty over its southern provinces and the strong and explicit support of UN member states, many of whom support an autonomy plan like the one from Spain. Germany, Philippines, Netherlands, Romania, and Hungary.
