At a joint press conference in Morocco’s capital, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said the United Kingdom was changing its position to support Morocco’s plan to offer the area limited autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. He and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita lauded the two countries’ ties on security and trade, noting Morocco’s role as co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.“The time for a resolution and to move this issue forward is long-overdue, and would strengthen the stability of North Africa,” Lammy said.
He also reiterated support for the United Nations-led process and called on Morocco to “expand on details of what autonomy within the Moroccan State could entail for the region.”Western Sahara is a strip of coastal desert rich in phosphates and fish that the United Nations has considered a “non-self-governing territory” throughout almost 50 years of dispute. It’s claimed by both Morocco and Polisario, a pro-independence group that operates out of refugee camps in southwestern Algeria.
