Support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan
In a significant diplomatic gesture, US Congressman Trent Kelly reiterated his strong endorsement of Morocco's Autonomy Plan for the Western Sahara during a recent visit to Rabat. At a meeting attended by Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and a delegation of American lawmakers, Kelly emphasized the importance of this proposal as a constructive avenue toward resolving the longstanding regional dispute. Representing Mississippi in the House of Representatives, Kelly's statements reflect a growing recognition of Morocco’s efforts to seek a peaceful resolution through enhanced autonomy.

Congressman Kelly's support is closely tied to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, which was passed in October 2025. This resolution serves as a critical framework for negotiations, advocating for a political solution rooted in Morocco's Autonomy Plan. Kelly noted that the establishment of genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is among the most viable outcomes for the region, highlighting the potential for a fruitful dialogue that respects Morocco’s territorial integrity while addressing the aspirations of the Sahrawi people. His remarks come in the context of a broader trend where several nations and international entities have reaffirmed or updated their positions regarding the Sahara dispute, signaling a shift towards greater support for Morocco's approach.
