Nicolas Sarkozy: "There is only one credible solution to Sahara dispute; Morocco's"
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy asserted on Wednesday in Rabat that the dispute over the Sahara has only one credible resolution Morocco's proposal.
During the presentation of his latest book, "Le temps des combats" (The Time of Battles), Sarkozy, in the presence of King's Advisor André Azoulay and French Ambassador to Morocco Christophe Lecourtier, as well as distinguished figures from political, diplomatic, economic, and cultural spheres, emphasized his long-standing conviction. He stated, "During my tenure, France took a leading role in the Sahara issue. I have consistently maintained that the only credible solution is the one put forth by Morocco."
Sarkozy expressed his unwavering belief in the Moroccanness of the Sahara, a perspective he has championed for years. "I have always advocated for an approach of openness and development," he affirmed, expressing hope that Europe, akin to the United States, would acknowledge this reality.
"I championed this idea during the era of the late King Hassan II and throughout the reign of HM King Mohammed VI," he continued, lamenting the lost time that has contributed to heightened instability and uncertainty.
Sarkozy commended Morocco for establishing a robust economy and enduring stability, positioning itself as an influential country at the continental level.
During the event, he openly admired His Majesty King Mohammed VI, referring to him as an "exceptional man and one of the great wise and visionary leaders."
Sarkozy contended that Morocco's strength lies in its ability to reconcile identity and modernity. "It is a country that respects its culture and history while embracing modernity. The question of identity is central here it represents an opening, not a closure," he explained.
He further highlighted Morocco's success in entering the modern world without compromising its way of life, traditions, and unique universe. According to Sarkozy, Moroccans understand the importance of preserving a national identity without needing external explanations.
