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.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on Thursday there was a high chance he would visit Algeria, hailing the north African country's release of writer Boualem Sansal as a glimmer of hope that relations between the two nations could be mended.
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has granted a pardon to French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal following a request from German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Algerian presidency said on Wednesday.
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.
