During a recent session held in Geneva, the Moroccan Ambassador to the United Nations, Omar Zniber, articulated a statement on behalf of a coalition of nations, emphasizing that the issue of Western Sahara remains firmly within the political framework led by the United Nations and under the supervision of the Security Council. This declaration highlighted the significance of Morocco’s proposed autonomy initiative as a serious and realistic foundation for achieving a long-lasting political resolution to the ongoing conflict. Furthermore, it reaffirmed the collective support for implementing Security Council Resolution No. 2797, which aims to resume the political process with the involvement of all relevant stakeholders.
The nations backing Morocco's initiative expressed their satisfaction with Morocco's development of the autonomy proposal, as well as its commitment to include the residents of the Tindouf camps and ensure their rights are upheld equally with other citizens. The statement also praised Morocco's collaboration with the United Nations' human rights mechanisms, viewing this cooperation as a positive commitment to the promotion and protection of rights and freedoms.
Additionally, the opening of several consulates by various countries in the cities of Laayoune and Dakhla was noted as a reflection of the increasing international support for Morocco. This development is seen as contributing to enhanced growth, investment, and regional cooperation within the southern provinces. The group concluded its declaration by underscoring that resolving the conflict would serve as a catalyst for integration and development in both African and Arab regions.
