"Thousands of Moroccans filled the streets of Rabat singing and waving flags after the UN Security Council adopted a resolution describing autonomy for Western Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty as the most feasible solution to the decades-long territorial dispute."
"The US-drafted text provides international endorsement of Morocco in its dispute with the Algeria-backed Polisario Front."
Thousands of Moroccans demonstrated in Rabat, singing and waving flags, following a UN Security Council resolution endorsing an autonomy arrangement for Western Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty. The resolution described autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the most feasible solution to the long-running territorial dispute. The measure was drafted by the United States and treated as international endorsement of Morocco’s position. The endorsement strengthens Morocco’s diplomatic standing vis-à-vis the Algeria-backed Polisario Front and underlines continued international attention to the decades-long conflict over Western Sahara.
