Morocco has scored another diplomatic win on the Western Sahara file. Ghana has officially backed the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty, a proposal recently endorsed by the United Nations through Security Council Resolution 2797.
Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, voiced his support during a visit to Rabat. He highlighted that the new resolution sets out a clear framework and a defined timeline aimed at reaching a final settlement for the territory, long contested by Algeria.
For Accra, the UN’s position strengthens the push for a realistic and lasting solution. And across the continent, the trend is similar. Most African states now line up behind Morocco’s stance, viewing the autonomy plan as the most workable path forward.
With this renewed support, Morocco continues to consolidate its diplomatic gains and reinforce international momentum around its approach to the Western Sahara question.
