More than MAD 120 million are scheduled for strengthening road infrastructure inside and outside the urban perimeter in the region of Oued Eddahab-Lagouira and under the second integrated strategic emergency plan on road safety for 2008-2010, said, Wednesday at Dakhla, the regional director of equipment and transport, Mr. Mohamed Zahir. 

The Moroccan autonomy proposal in the southern provinces is "constructive" and "likely to bring a solution to the Sahara conflict," said Iranian ambassador to Morocco, Mr. Wahid Ahmadi, stressing that his country's position regarding the dispute "has not changed since Iran has froze all its relations with Polisario 17 years ago".

Former Polisario members who have returned to Morocco called on Algeria and Polisario to "enroll in the spirit of realism and compromise advocated by the international community" to find a settlement to the dispute over the Sahara issue.

Morocco insisted that it will not accept, under any circumstances, that the status quo be modified in the Tifariti zone, which has been, since the 1991 UN-brokered ceasefire between Morocco and the Polisario, free from any civil or military presence.

Mauritanian People's Rally, reiterated on Tuesday its and full support to the Moroccan initiative to grant the Sahara considerable autonomy within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty.
