Sahara: 23 out of 27 EU countries support Morocco’s realistic autonomy plan

The Republic of Poland, member of the European Union, has expressed support for the Autonomy plan offered by Morocco for the Sahara under its sovereignty, saying the Moroccan plan is a “serious, realistic, pragmatic” basis for reaching a lasting solution to the Sahara regional conflict.

Warsaw backing was expressed by Poland’s FM Radosław Sikorski during a telephone conversation held Tuesday with Moroccan peer Nasser Bourita.

Poland’s supportive stand brings up the total number of EU member countries supporting Morocco to 23 out of 27 forming the European bloc.

In New York, the UN Security Council is considering a draft resolution submitted by the United States, calling for the endorsement of the Moroccan plan as the ONLY feasible solution to the Sahara conflict.

The American draft is supported by Paris, London, Moscow and Beijing. The alignment of the five permanent members of the Security Council shows the willingness of the “Big Five” to put an end to a five-decade conflict posing serious threat to regional peace and stability.
