Senegal has reaffirmed its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a compromise solution to the dispute around the Moroccan Sahara. During the regional seminar of the UN 24 Committee in Dili, Senegalese diplomat Diamane Diome stressed that this initiative, qualified as serious and credible by the Security Council since 2007, respects international law and the United Nations Charter.
He also recalled that more than 117 countries support this initiative, including two permanent members of the Security Council, adding: “This dynamic of support assumed to a fair cause, my country is delighted to have opened, on April 5, 2021, alongside more than thirty other member states of the United Nations, a general consulate in the Moroccan Sahara”.
In addition, Dimanane Diome also praised the progress made by Morocco in matters of human rights, development projects in the southern provinces, as well as the participation of elected representatives of the SAHARA in the UN works.
