US Reaffirms Support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan in Sahara Dispute
In a significant development for North African diplomacy, the United States has once again thrown its weight behind Morocco's autonomy initiative for the Sahara region. During high-level talks in Washington on Tuesday, US officials described the Moroccan plan as a "serious, credible, and realistic" approach to resolving the long-standing regional dispute.
The statement came following a meeting between Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. A spokesperson for the US State Department emphasized, "The United States continues to view Morocco's autonomy plan as serious, credible, and realistic."
This reaffirmation of support underscores the ongoing diplomatic efforts to find a lasting solution to the Sahara issue. Both nations expressed their backing for Staffan de Mistura, the UN Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, in his mission to advance the UN-led political process. The two sides stressed the urgency of reaching a sustainable political resolution without further delay.
The talks in Washington highlight the strategic importance of the Sahara question in North African geopolitics and demonstrate the United States' continued engagement in regional stability efforts. As diplomatic maneuvers continue, the international community watches closely to see how this renewed support might influence the path toward a resolution in this complex territorial dispute.
