Five former U.S. Ambassadors to Morocco made it clear that an "independent Sahrawi state is not a realistic option for resolving the Western Sahara conflict and genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is the only feasible solution."

 Guinea has reaffirmed its unreserved support for Morocco's territorial integrity and the autonomy initiative for the Sahara.

A Moroccan delegation, mustering Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri and head of the Moroccan intelligence (DGED), Mohamed Yassine Mansouri, met, here Monday, the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon with whom they discussed prospects for the Sahara negotiations process.

 Moroccan Prime Minister, Abbas El Fassi, reiterated, Friday before the UN General Assembly, Morocco's commitment to continue the negotiation process over the Sahara to reach a final solution that is respectful of the Kingdom's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

 Sahara NGO "Association sahraouie de défense des droits de l'homme" (ASADEDH) has called on Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon to issue an arrest warrant against the current representative of Polisario in Algeria, Brahim Ghali, accused of "genocide and torture" against the Sahrawi people, and who is expected to visit Spain early October.
