United Nations (New York) - The United Nations Security Council decided on Thursday to extend the mandate of MINURSO for one year, while enshrining, once again, the preeminence of the Moroccan autonomy initiative to resolve the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

Gambia reaffirmed, in New York, its "firm" support for Morocco's territorial integrity and its sovereignty over its Sahara, while welcoming the autonomy initiative as a "viable solution" to this regional dispute.

Gabon reiterated, before the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly, its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative in the Sahara which presents “credible and reassuring prospects”.

The Colombian Senate expressed its "outright rejection" and "total disagreement" with the decision of President Gustavo Petro (Left) to restore diplomatic relations with the puppet entity of the "sadr", which "goes against the fundamental principles of Colombian diplomacy."
