Morocco's royal palace on Tuesday declared October 31 starting next year as a national holiday marking the adoption of a U.N. Security Council resolution backing the North African country's autonomy plan for Western Sahara.
The resolution, adopted last Friday, states that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty for Western Sahara could be "a most feasible" solution to Rabat's 50-year conflict with the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, which seeks an independent state in the territory.

Human Rights Watch has accused an Abu Dhabi-based security company of recruiting Colombian private military contractors and deploying them to fight alongside Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) between 2024 and 2025, adding to what the rights group describes as a growing body of evidence of Emirati military support for the paramilitary group.
Farmers across Sudan say the hike in global fuel and fertilizer costs resulting from the Iran conflict will force them to cut back on planting this summer, restricting food production in a country where war has caused acute hunger.
At least nine people were killed and six others injured when a four-storey building collapsed overnight in the Moroccan city of Fez, about 200 kilometres (124 miles) east of Rabat, local authorities said on Thursday.
