Last Monday, at the United Nations headquarters, The Gambia expressed its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara, as well as its “firm” backing for the Moroccan Autonomy Plan, an initiative described as “serious and credible” and aimed at ending the artificial dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

On Thursday, the Fourth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly adopted its annual resolution on the question of the Moroccan Sahara. The resolution received 152 votes in favour, including Morocco’s, with two votes against and seven abstentions.

Djibouti on Monday reaffirmed, in New York, its support for the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, welcoming the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797 on the Moroccan Sahara.

Security Council Resolution 2797 marked a "significant turning point" in the United Nations’ handling of the Moroccan Sahara issue, "moving from a focus on managing the issue to one of resolving it," emphasized Omar Hilale, Morocco’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, on Tuesday in New York.

Before the 4th Committee of the United Nations, Côte d'Ivoire reaffirmed its "full support" for the autonomy plan presented by Morocco, and welcomed the international dynamic in favor of this initiative which aims to achieve a peaceful and definitive solution to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.
